I've been watching Newcastle since 1975 and have the utmost respect for Man City fans(unlike fans of Mancockney United).It makes me cringe when I hear our fans singing "Where where you when you were shit" at City fans,I've always thought City fans were loyal and good crack.
I remember when I was 10, watching us get beat by City, 29th Jan 1977,FA cup 4th round .St.James' was packed to bursting ,attendance 45,300 (seemed more like 50,000,clubs used to publish underestimated attendances to fiddle the taxman)quite a few City fans there ,including Ellen (or Helen) ,blonde woman who rang a bell all the time(I think a City fan told me she past away a while back) one Newcastle fan in NCB wellies climbed up the floodlight pylon to watch the game.Even though we lost ,it was one of the best games I can remember for atmosphere.
Apologies for the idiot with the firework,but all clubs have their Jeremy Kyle types unfortunately...I know we can't realistically win the prem(we'll be happy with the cup!) so I hope you lot do...<a class="postlink" href="http://server22.web-mania.com/users/toon1892/detail_match.php?id=4821" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://server22.web-mania.com/users/too ... hp?id=4821</a>
