    Has anyone noticed the reluctance of Newcastle supporters to talk about Newcastle. Most popular team without a doubt as per comments on this forum is the form team of the moment SUNDERLAND just goes to show success breeds success

    Credit where it's due, they didn't even have to organise it, they all just thought alike and stayed away.

    That thread on their board about the attendance is comedy gold...
    Well worth a read.
    Someone has scoured the archives to dig out a sub 16,000 crowd for us, when we were in the Championship playing Plymouth in the third round of the cup to help console themselves (which we still recognise as a ****e turnout of course... no arguments).
    There mod Mush was spot on with his point, it's just a shame the usual 'over sensitives' hop on board the beel bus so easily.

    It may as well be written in Mandarin (no Fredor I don't mean the citrus fruit before you get the tin opener out and try).

    Maybe we are clutching at straws but come on its the FA cup and if it was us you would be taking the pee. What l can't stand are fans like my neighbour who never goes to games or even the pub to watch Mackems but him and his brother have been promised tickets through a business contact.

    Agreed. Regardless of club, it amazes me how many 'fans' suddenly join the queue for tickets without giving a hoot the rest of the year... it was the same for our two cup finals. I had mates who chucked their ST years before suddenly giving it the 'I used to have a ST ticket therefore I'm entitled to a ticket'..

    They're like DLT victims. You hear Nowt from them for 40 years, then they all pipe up together.

    He had a season ticket for one season,then when they went down with 19 points he handed it back. Another neighbour goes to pub to watch them but he's a canny chap and good craic.

    He's a passionate lad, gotta say.
    The trigger this time was a poster having the temerity to point out that all he talks about is:
    -fighting
    - his rich friends / money
    - how he lives in Nice
    - how 'connected' he is
