JawD 31 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 NUFC went into liquidation ? Who, if anyone, would you support? It'd be a fair bet that an off-shoot would spring up and many would support that. Some might stick to their locals etc. Me? I reckon I'd drift away from Football and follow the Falcons. IF things got that bad and it did happen, I reckon Id lose faith in football as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'd hope some sort of FC United of Newcastle might rise up from the ashes. Failing that.... Gateshead? Some other local non-league side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Your last sentence sums it up for me. I don't really have any football interest outside Newcastle now. Ie. England or watching prem games. Take up knitting or summit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin 1 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) Sunderland would be a good team to support, so yeah probably them. EDIT - or boro Edited March 26, 2010 by Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8989 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 The offshoot club or Blyth. Can't imagine any reason to support any club other to be honest. Truly an alien concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanMag 0 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I can join the rest of the American "soccer" fans and become a Man Utd/Liverpool/Chelsea/Arsenal supporter... maybe even watch an MLS match or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I'd end up like my dad, the man loves football but doesnt actually support anyone set up a random number generator 1-20 and pick whichever PL team is in whatever league position at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12765 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'd probably lose most of my interest like others have said. Though I always keep an eye on Gateshead's results so I'd probably follow them but I doubt I'd ever have the kind of connection I do with NUFC.

Deano 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Start the offshoot and make myself captain!! In all seriousness its a good question, something id not thought of tbh...Probably like JawD turn my back on football altogether or follow Blyth Spartans. No way on earth could i be a fully fledged fan of any other top side!! Saying that i could probably turn my back on english football and follow Ajax, Juve or Barca!

Monkeys Fist 38737 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I don't honestly think I could take on a other club- even an " offshoot" club of Nufc if it ever happened. I'd probably lose All interest in football through sheer disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyshinton 59 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I would be re vitalised. All me muckers could come into town on a saturday. We could travel to games and a certain P.C B. would be out of a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 If we were liquidated and no more then the club would start again from scratch, its worth remembering that a Football Club United of Newcastle under those circumstances would not be the same as FCUM are in that they would be the one and only Newcastle. Under that logic we'd probably still be called NUFC. Thats the club I would support NUFC is NUFC regardless of if there was a break sometime, even if it took a year or so to be setup it wouldnt matter, from that moment on they would be my team. If however FCUN was created as a protest like FCUM was then I couldnt do it, no matter how solid my reasons for protest, I couldnt walk away fully and take up another team, Id boycott* yes but NUFC would still be my team, the one I followed and cared about. *When I say boycott I mean not bother going to matches while we were in the shit league and then when we looked like being promoted Id change my whole stance and decide whatever I was protesting about wasnt really the case and it was actually a good thing and be back in time for Premiership football ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 You could all support the Mighty Torquay United with me! Its alittle like supporting Newcastle....lots of ups and downs, nail biting season finishes, bizarre happenings in the boardroom but never a dull moment!

Flair 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Probably Barnet, maybe Arsenal. That's if the club wasn't remade. Edited March 27, 2010 by Flair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AS 206 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Reformed club. Failing that then Newcastle Benfield I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
