So are Dennis Wise's eyes, another wrongun. Look what he did to that taxi driver.

That assertion was discussed and dismissed. You can't be that special to build a website, and go for interviews via the dole. Last time I say it some people are just wronguns no other explanation is required.

I can see this becoming difficult. How do you define it ? There is an obvious link between acting big and becoming successful, attracting supporters back, and being seen to be big by others as a result. The problem is, if a club acts like a small club [like we are doing], does it mean they aren't a big club anymore ? Or is it just that you are a big club being run badly ? That's the thing though, people not going to matches isn't just about success on the field Lots of our fans have stopped going because they aren't happy with how the club is being run, sick of having to get by and then there was the 2 failed stadium moves (1 of which none of us wanted) I think we'll get less season ticket sales next season because people seeing that we are being left behind if we don't get investment so are boycotting Newcastle are obviously a big club and have a fantastic support, you could see that with the protests etc but I don't think support equals everything I have to disagree with your first comment. Success on the pitch is everything. Win and your crowds go up, at any level of the game, at NUFC a winning team is a full house. 2nd sentence - most people have forgotten about those stadium moves now. Personally, I think we should have moved to Leazes Park and forced the issue more. We will get less season ticket renewals next season because the team is struggling on the pitch and there is little optimism for improvement. 3rd sentence - I don't think any club would fill a 52000 stadium anywhere in the world having put up with what we have for so long to be honest, although it is going down now, it will still hover between 30-40,000 even when the damage inflicted by Mike Ashley increases, and no club in the world would get that either, especially when even a few wins in a lower league will send it back near 50,000 again. Just my opinions of course. Disagree with that like. There are more than enough dafties like me to keep going. We averaged 44,000 in the Championship playing the likes of Doncaster and Scunthorpe every week. The next few years we will come out of the recession and people will have more money. We were in the bottom half of the table largely from 2004 to 2009 and 90% of home games sold out. I think economic conditions are having an impact, but we're still averaging nearly 48,000 fans, and how many times have we been on live telly?? A fuckin lot. We will never go under 40,000 in the Premiership, and even if Ashley is here the next five years, sadly it will have no impact on attendances. This season the games have been fucking great you don't know what will happen, the gates have been going up all season, and we'll have even more season ticket holders next season, particularly if there's a few decent signings in the summer. Don't underestimate how daft NUFC fans are. There isn't a parallel to Newcastle United's support in world sport, anyone that says Man City is a mug, they all fucked off under Pearce, we stayed and faced the Championship music. As for big club. Course we're a big club. I find it insulting to be compared to Aston Villa. The muddy area of what a big club comes when you're comparing sizes. To me it's fanbase. You can't pin it all down to history. Man Utd are 10 times bigger than Liverpool in my eyes, but have slightly fewer trophies, and I can think of parallel examples with certain clubs and us. If you don't have more fans able and willing to go to support the team than Newcastle, you're not a bigger club than us, and only Man Utd and Arsenal have, Liverpool have many more when they're doing well. All of the rest well it's just muddy water. A debate no one can ever win, but I think we're an important club which the Premiership can't do without. There are only a few clubs you can say that about. Not one person would miss Villa, even if they were gone 10 years you'd just think so fuck. Everyone missed us, even if they don't admit it, they did, BBC certainly did.

Nee one said it was strange, you said no one calls you it though. Why's this site got the FIFA World Cup music when the teams walk out music

None of the Sunday Leagues I've EVER played for had 9-6's. In the North East Sunday League, granted la creme de la creme of Sunday League football, you rarely got games with more than 4 or 5 goals. Point is though according to that site you're still affectionately known as "Hagg" Aye so yeez are in the bottom league. It explains it.
-
I had a look there I would refuse to play in a league where results of 11-2 and 9-6 are common place. That Ferryhill team must have some canny players though. Was more 0-0 draws in the NESL A league than owt else. [/snob]
-
I called you Hagg a few months ago cos it said that was your nickname on that CLSCC website you put up the team you played for. Four goals in 6 month? You been on the bench??

"Corrrrrrrrr he's a real spunk" is my favourite Aussie saying.

25 imo However I don't like seeing the toon look like a bunch of bamps, PUMA do us no favours, ideally I'd love to see us go to adidas again, but failing that UMBRO with a classic design would dee.

I was just thinking about that spotty fucka. Kennedy celebrity fan, Kennedy celebrity fan. Think they have Kevin Costner too to be fair. He picked them purely on name though. As good a reason as any for an OOC to be fair.

I disagree there. Go to Fulham away Alex, you have 3,000 toon fans proper, and 3,000 Southern toon fans in that neutral bit, I think it's easy to underestimate our national fanbase, the Keegan years brought us hundreds and thousands of new fans. In 1995 we sold 850,000 home shirts in the UK, more than the England shirt, four times Celtic's shirt, and second only to Man Utd. That's the untapped potential of NUFC, we're romanticised, we just need a sustained period of a few years where we look like we'll do something and we'd have as big as support as anyone bar Man Utd. The reason SKY put us on more than Chelsea even is because of the audiences we get even though we're shit. In our relegation season 1.9m people watched Sunderland v Newcastle, just 1.2m could be arsed to watch Everton v Liverpool the week before, that shows you the potential of NUFC. Go anywhere in the country, any city, any town, even a small town, and there'll be a toon fan there. In terms of local support we're far ahead of anyone else apart from Man Utd and Arsenal. Overall fanbase I'd say we're 4th then Chelsea, and a group of teams who's fans would all fuck off if they were shit like Spurs, Everton, Villa, Leeds, Sunderland - Villa being easily the smallest of them.

How nice would it be to look back on this thread on May 12th with Aston Villa relegated to the Championship. Talk about what goes round comes round if that happens.

“I thought Sol (Campbell) would cope with aerial threat better than Steven (Taylor) and that is why I gave him the nod, no other reason to be honest." What a fuckin knacka. Taylor is good in the air, quicker and certainly more agile than Campbell. Pathetic tbh. If his concern was their height and strength why not put Campbell in for the weak Williamson. He really is clueless.

She looks like she should be in Tel Aviv and her voice is more annoying than Jamie Carragher's. I don't recognise 99% of yank stars as stars, because I ignore that evil nation as much as I can. Yank mugs. This lasses name has been on twitter trends all week and I was wondering who the fuck she is.
