The Fish 9240 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 3rd option is closest. I'm not in this for the glory, I'm in for the character building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're in it for the shoeing then? Not that I don't respect that stand point, particularly from a proto-cockney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bictor 0 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'm done. Mike Ashley is a fucking idiot. I've supported him for the last three years and then he goes and does this?! Fuuuuuuuck. He has absolutely no idea what he's doing. The sooner the fans protest and force him to sell the club the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14142 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I suppose the middle option comes closest. After enough incidents like this, you learn to detach the various levels of fandom from each other, or at least you do if you're lucky. I'm quite happy to call myself a lifelong fan, even if that involves hanging on in there for better times to come, without letting my mood be dictated by the ultraclusterfuck that seems to result from every other step the current regime makes.

Kid Dynamite 6097 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Already considering packing the ticket in. I did it when Keegan walked and this is on a par with that imo. I'm sure ill get called but then ill sleep easier knowing I'm not putting £600 in that cunts pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'm an ooc apathetic armchair supporter. Basically the club would need to go out of business for me to make less effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3284 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Everyone still giving the club money takes a share of the blame for what has happened. FMA can do this cos idiots wont stop giving him money no matter what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostile_statue 0 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'm thinking about supporting the Heed instead. They're black and white. From Tyneside. =The same club basically, minus the twats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 6453 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Not that it could be achieved, but an empty stadium might not even bother him if the TV money continues to grow. We need our own FCUN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMA can do this cos idiots wont stop giving him money no matter what he does. That's bollocks, but what I would say is, if you're gonna keep going when he's pulling moves like this, then you really shouldn't moan too much when he does it again. He's set his stall out to be a total cheapskate cunt who is happy to run the place like it's a bit of a laugh for him. If you don't like it, stop handing over your money. If something like this doesn't stop you, then brace yourself for more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 For me to stop going the pubs would have to stop opening on a matchday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4015 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Can't see the poll on my phone but I turned my back from a match going pov in 2009. This just strengthens the conviction. I know its easier from 300 miles away but I did make the effort before that though I admit other factors contributed to the decision as well.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3284 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The one saving grace is that Ashley won't own us forever for me its just waiting out his tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 39184 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The worry though is what state he leaves us in. Someone said , hopefully in jest, they'll realise they can get more money out of the club by building a hotel and flats on the Ground. This, now, is a real possibility.

Christmas Tree 4005 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Must confess Im becoming more like Gemmil each day. So pleased I didn't renew and currently not feeling as emotionally raw about things Newcastle as I would normally. That said I will still watch every game and hopefully get to a few this season. But as for gnashing my teeth over the life and trials of Newcastle United, fuck that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'll never stop going, if I do he's won in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14923 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Think I started this process a little while ago, and it wasn't entirely to do with Ashley, just a combination of work,the missus, just the way things have gone...this could be the final nail in the coffin mind...went to the grand total of 2 home games last season, feel it may well be less this time round. Away games are so diluted from the exuberance of the past but they put a regular round trip of around 750 miles into a cocked hat. Will probably go when am up seeing the folks though, but I used to make sure that happened when we were at home. For me, I still have this urge to support the 11 shirts on the pitch somehow. Am fucked if he's taking that away from me completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
