    I've been pondering this question or a while but wanted to distill it into just a few words so in three words what it means to be a Toon fan is.....

    Hope
    Passion
    Belonging

    What three words would you choose?

    Exactly the same as it means to be a fan of any other club.

    Why is that? You don't love your club any more or less than I love mine. You are no more or less passionate than I am. You feel as ecstatic with the wins, and as despondent with the losses as fans of any other club do. Newcastle fans set themselves up as being somehow different to fans of other clubs, but there's no proof of this. Just to be clear, that's not to say anything negative about Newcastle fans - as a collective you clearly are a great and very loyal bunch. Just merely saying that you're no different in numbers or as individuals as any other fans are.

    There's a lot of difference between ALL fan bases as incomes, regional identity, history, demographics etc play their part.

    Income, region, history, demographics, etc play no part in emotion. I can be the poorest or richest fan in the world, doesn't mean I care about my team any more or less than you do.
