I am not a Newcastle fan I support a team called Darlington who had been in administration 3 times in the last 10 years was put in administration last season , was one game away from being extinct till the fans took over and managed to finish last season in the Blue Sq Premier league 2nd from bottom. The FA which are c**nts then managed to demote us 4 leagues to Northern Premier League which is Step 9, we are owned by the fans we average over 1,300 and top of the league. We are on the way back up so once again I'm not a Newcastle fan, the size of the crowds doesn't really make a difference whether a club is big or not, I was pointing out facts that Newcastle, Chelsea hell even Man United have had poor averages sometime in their history. I'm just saying that clubs support go up and down all the time and it doesn't mean that if it does go down (averages) fans ain't loyal its just they are sick of the **** they get from their clubs, chairman and other factors.
