It was a tongue in cheek reply, illustrating how some people get upset at any post which doesn't consist of fulsome praise.
The Geordies did. If people can justify the Face Of Hull bloke as he is from Greater Hull, 17 miles away, then Gateshead and Newcastle are virtually the same thing.
A recent phenomenon since we moved to the KC. In my early days of supporting City the game which hooked me for live, Everton in the Cup saw over 20,000 more there than the previous league game. In Terry Neill's first season, our highest finish for decades, a cup game against Blackpool saw us get 9,000 more than our highest league game. The biggest example was the West Ham Cup game which saw the crowd go up from just over 9,000 to over 32,000. Even in our really dire days we could take as many away fans to Newcastle, Liverpool and Villa, 2 of them midweek games and one of them when we had been hammered at home and had no chance of progressing. Now things have reversed. The PL effect, not just confined to City. Only lower league clubs get a larger crowd for a cup game. Which brings us back to the dilemma, make more money or tell them to take a hike. Personally I would tell them to take a hike. They tried to do us out of our allocation in the Cup game there as were just a little 4th division club in their eyes. City stuck out and we consequently took the largest away following seen there since Brighton got promoted to the . First Division there years before because they couldn't segregate it properly due to them ****ing about and ended up having to gove us more tickets than we were entitled to in 3 different areas.

I'm not sure I have but OK. I think whoever is the owner, it's the club's job to bring people in. If they just sit and scoff at the fans not wanting to go then nothing will change. They need to increase demand significantly.
They do and if just two of them left (although this could be a fairly big percentage given the number of people leaving the club) supporters would flock back. You know who you are. Now **** off. Thanks
