there needs to be a walk-out

A proper, proper walk out. United, organised, by the majority.

Not a half-hearted, 20% of the fans, some leaving at one point and the others after.

I mean, stadium emptying - completely - on the 69th minute.

 

I walked out last season mate. I ****ing blind man could see the writing was on the wall. I feel sorry for all the poor bastards who still go. Enjoy my Saturday afternoons now, walking with the wife, shopping with the wife, shopping with the wife, shopping with the wife.. I ****ing Hate you Pardew, you ****!!!

 

Won't make a lick of difference. Match day revenue or attendance doesn't effect Ashley or SD.

 

this...the only way to stop this hideous situation is purely not to turn up...I know it wont happen because even if a lot of people do decide not to go, there's plenty of geordies to take their place

 

The only way to change the situation is to give up. If you just don't care, problem solved.

 

Mike Ashley has a £250m asset in NUFC, the value of which must be damaged by such a show of public anger.

 

the problem is, is anyone really going to stop shopping at his stores (except a few of us geordies) because of a few angry fans, probably not
its exactly like primark...everyone knows how disgusting their practices are yet still shop there coz its dirt cheap

 

I don't think it's devalued by fan unrest. It is devalued by relegation. The truly perplexing thing is the increased likelihood of relegation and yet a continued inactivity. Either Ashley and Pardew are staring at each other waiting for the other to blink or there is something deeper at stake.

 

Ashley is a businessman so theoretically the only way to hurt him is in the pocket. He has his eyes on the £60 million Premier League tv money. We go down he loses that next season but has a parachute payment to soften the blow [albeit a smaller pot]. Hurting Sports Direct would be a good idea, but Newcastle fans are a small section of consumers that we alone could not do anything. Damage the brand by association? Possible but unlikely. Ashley isn't going anywhere until he has milked this cash cow. Abusing him makes no odds - he doesn't care and will just not go to games.

 

You just don't go you vegetables

 

Not if he keeps selling Callaway Warbirds at £10.99 for a dozen

 

Get the supporters and enquiry about having a fans owned club, a bit like FC United but I think more Newcastle fans would follow a fans owned club then Man U as they are plastics.

 

I think a symbolic show of support such as a walk out in one game might actually make him realise the extent of fan anger and make sure it's in a game shown on TV. Not shopping at his store would be a drop in the ocean even if the whole population of Newcastle stopped shopping there.

 

Their Golf equipment used to be garbage but recently they have improved it a lot, and a Golf Pro myself I should know

 

You think the 52 thousand peasants of which a minimal amount of would boycott could make any difference at all?

The answer is no

The entire toon army would have to convince Ashley they would never return to st james park not just some half arsed bluff.

Whats required is not going to happen so just stop going or support the team manager and owner.

 

Ashley won't care one jot.

 

Aye there is some decent bits and bobs. I still do most of mine online but someone told me about the warbirds and I had to have some. Between you and Jimiley, there is hope for my swing yet!! Woohoo

 

Yurk this yogurts nasty I'm going to leave some in the pot in protest and then buy another pot next week and hope it's nicer.

 

I strongly recommend if pArdew is still incharge on sat then people should stay away and protest outside as they get away with murder and still people turn up
