McFaul 35 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Fuck me 7000? I knew we had some shite attendances in the past but wow Was basically a reserve Cup. Tottenham and Arsenal have had these types of crowds for league games man. No one has had less shite gates given our history over the last 40 years than Newcastle United. It's amazing how out of town fans buy in to talksport myths, fuckin idiot. Half the people who support this club genuinely have no idea at all about our history, the culture, or the history of the pain and suffering and magnificence of the crowds we've had given what we've had to put up with for over half a century.

Craig 6307 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 All Craig's answers are right apart from number 8. Bogie's first goal was against Shrewsbury in the Simod Cup, Dina got a last minute winner, and I remember it cos it was the lowest crowd I've ever been part of at SJP, was in the Paddock with me dad they were building the Milburn behind and it fuckin pissed it doon. Aye you're right, I was at that game too in the same paddock! Simod Cup was the new name for the Full Members Cup and later known as the Zenith Data Systems Cup IIRC. Created as an extra tournament when we'd been banned from Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway so what they are THE club who have a bigger national fanbase than us and THE only club with a bigger local fanbase, purely because of Munich and their status in the 60's. Like I say I wouldn't support a club I had fuck all understanding about, our attendances generally given our circumstances are unparalleled anywhere in world football, anyone with an understanding of NUFC would understand that. I suppose it's the globalisation of football in general. Here's one to tell your Liverpool/Grimsby/T'Leeds/T'Blades/Yoonaatid supporting pals. There's one club in WORLD football who since 1992 have NEVER had a league gate under 30,000. Ask them who they are. WORLD football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Whitehurst 790 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I went to that game at Cappielow. My dad knew someone who worked at Morton so we got to go to the dressing room before the game. Gazza came and met me and my brother and introduced us to all the players and took the piss out of them all (particularly Brian Tinnion). Gazza was so friendly and really went out his way for me and my brother, genuinely one of the nicest people I have ever met. He then practically ran the whole length of the pitch and rounded Dave Wylie (Morton keeper) who brought him down for the penalty which he duly scored. Gazza was about a thousand times better than anyone else on the pitch, it was like watching a Premier League player guest starring for a Sunday League team (we had some utter dross in those days). I think we signed Archie Gourlay from Morton round about then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, sure, if you say so, however one Champions League/good spell wasn't going to make them as well supported as they were, even pre Fergie they were one of the best supported clubs in the world. I guess that's Newcastle? I don't know, I don't live in Tyneside so I know nothing about football , so what was Barcelonas lowest post-92 home attendance? I'll go tell my friends, although I must admit that I don't live in Yorkshire, never have done and know no Leeds/Sheffield United/ even Hull fans.
