    Saying it twice makes it sink in better.

    He wasn’t wrong mind was he!

    The crowd will dip below 40,000 at times this year.
    It's no longer fun going to home games.
    At least on away days there are copious amounts of cans to dull the pain.. and it's a proper day out with the lads.
    I think that's what I'll do... just focus on away days mainly.

    I absolutely agree. It is no longer fun at all. I’ve turned down tickets already twice this season. I would have dropped anything in the past to go.

    It’s just not worth it.

    I'm going to go vs Leeds... We've got to stay up to get this takeover done or give it any chance.

    This is where I put my old agenda with Ashley to one side and go up against the greater evil ie the premier league

    Fair enough. I think we should be ok for staying up but personally for me it hinges on Bruce not being in charge for too long.

    Forgive me but haven't you and 97% of nufc fans been proved demonstrably incorrect when saying that not once, but twice now?

    I'm not being a **** I'm just pointing out a reality.

    Like I said on a previous post mate, I’ve heard people say Newcastle is a lovely city in London, Manchester, Birmingham and that’s not to my face so they’re not saying it just to be nice. I’ve overheard it in conversations. I’ve been to most cities in the UK for work and trust me Newcastle is a **** ton nicer than most of them. Look at Leicester for example, I worked there for 18 months and most of the place is a dive. Yet they seem to attract players a lot better than us. (Or is that cause it’s a few hours closer to London?)

    Leeds also isn’t exactly paradise but they still seem to attract decent players.

    Also, when we were fighting top 4 year in year out, we didn’t seem to struggle attracting big name players. Geographical reasons is just a pretence to mask over what Ashley is doing to this club.

    lad your still dreaming apart from 1 season2011-12 getting a 5th place it was more than 20 years ago last time you were a top 4 and even then it was only over 2 seasons, the last time you saw any silver wear, was at the lord majors banquet in 1970 looking at the cutlery.<laugh><laugh>

    They had to pay over the odds in wages.

    Even Hall said that so you're quite simply wrong on this mate.

    They even lied to tino who they said tell him it's not far from London

    I remember them telling Rob Lee, who was going to Boro, Newcastle is closer to London than Boro is <laugh>

    This is the thing mate I'm right about this..

    Newcastle and the North East of England is rightly or wrongly known as being an undesirable place to live.

    I personally think it's an age old myth.

    As Charnley says anyone that's actually been says the opposite to what is unfortunately popular opinion, but if you can go to a place with sun for example with more glamorous women and food ie a better quality of life then you'd pick that over the ****ing toon

    I mean this season. Past seasons are done. This season feels different. It just feels like atm everything is on a downward spiral.

    That's because he's from London though

    Yeah London trump's everywhere else in the country for attracting players, but everywhere else is on a level playing field depending on how good the club is
