Newcastle Thread - 2022/23

[paulchapo]

I hate when our fans have a go at fans of other clubs, it's pathetic and most fans do the same to us.

The majority of the vitriol being stirred up these days comes from half witted foreign fans who have never been to a game in their lives. All they do is go on social media and spout shit almost non stop.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Newcastle do something. Same for Sunderland, Toffees, Sheffield and Brum clubs, Hammers too.

Why? Newcastle, Brighton, Brentford and Palace are examples of well run clubs well managed playing decent football and doing OK. Sunderland, Sheffield and Brum, Oldham Coventry, Boro and Swindon for that matter are all clubs who featured and thought they had hit the big time and frittered it away - we did it FFS and were nearly down there with the dead men. You are where you are and the table doesn't lie - we have had over a decade of a plan thats come to fruition - thats how you run a sound business - I am pleased to say the rags have had the same period of complete bollocks and are getting what they deserve but sorry the idea that Sunderland or Wednesday deserve better because of some sort of history is for the birds - thats dipperthink - the past is the past now is now and you are where you are because of now.

Many apologies. I'll name every club in the pyramid next time, just to keep muffties like you happy.

I was generalising, and providing my opinion, which is what forums are about. Apologies for offending and rattling your cage.

Geordies and Mancs get on don't they? I haven't met a bad Geordie yet.

Apart from those cunts that rocked up at the Claremont one year
IIRC one year it was them and I think the previous year or so it was Boro

They do my head in. For years they’ve whined and moaned with a sense of entitlement akin to scousers or rags.

I can’t really say a bad word about Sunderland fans on the other hand.

 

[JASR]

I think my only agenda for wanting X club to succeed or ‘do a Newcastle’, is that they don’t become arrogant in how they then portray their success.

So, all the previous clubs pumped with investment/change of rules, the 3 red shirts - they’re as arrogant as anything.

I think the only other club I’d classify in a similar fashion with them, is Spurs.

Any other club who rises from the pyramid with investment, with a longterm plan, without arrogance - good luck and enjoy the journey. - hence why it’s a joy to see Brighton, Brentford and similar do as well as they are (currently)

Having lived there, my experience was that Geordies are top folks until you get them on the subject of football at which point a significant minority talk absolute bollocks.

Wanker fans, nowhere to be seen until keegan rocked up, didn't they average 15k one season? The true fans of that region are Sunderland, different class to the boring jawdee gobshites.

Totally agree, Sunderland fans are a different class.

Sounds familiar.

One of my most trusted mates is a Geordie (called Mick actually), top lad, and tbf the Mancunian Newcastle fans I’ve known have been sound lads too.

 

[Dirty Harry]

It does, but I’d change it to majority in their case (red ones that is).

They talk like they are the greatest fanbase ever yet when put to the test when the team was truly shit their average gates were appallingly bad. Of course you would expect some drop off but their hard core is nowhere near ours. If ever the chant WWYWYWS was made for anyone it's these gobshite geordies.
For a 1 team city they're not all of that.

The last time Newcastle averaged 15k or under was 1915 when we averaged 14,545. The last time Sunderland averaged 15k or under was 1989 when they averaged 14,878. The last ime Man City averaged 15k or under was 1965 when you averaged 14,753. As I've said before, the one thing very few clubs can have a go at Newcastle about is our crowds.

Newcastle have had 76,945,710 fans attend home games in the league since 1894, not including this season and have had an average of 15k or less 7 times, all but two before 1900.

Man City have had 72,404,583 fans through the gates in that same time period and have had the same number of average crowds less than 15k, 7 times and all but 1 of those was before 1900.

Sunderland have had 62,808,363 fans attend home games during that time, they've averaged 15k or less 17 times. They've averaged less than 15k 11 times since 1900.

I would say that all 3 clubs have been really well supported.

I can't wait for people to chant WWYWYWS at us, it's a sign that things are going right and I'll always take it as a compliment. I was all over the country following my team and going to some right tips, actually, our home games were played at a right tip.

I remember going to Swansea in the early to mid 80’s and the game was called off on the Saturday, the game was played the day after and a lot of our fans stayed in Swansea on the Saturday night without being able to find a room so just hung around all night, we won 1-2 and one of my mates scored our first goal.

I remember going to see us play at Bristol City’s ground twice in the same season because Rovers had a fire at their ground so had to ground share.

I remember going to see us play Cardiff at Ninian Park in the early 80’s, we won and had bricks thrown at us for 90 minutes and had to stand against the back wall to avoid getting hit. I was stabbed with a pointy brolly after the match and then we got bricked when we got close to the train station.

Can I ask where you got those figures on total number of fans as I'd quite like to see a few other teams.

I've been working on an excel spreadsheet of historical attendances for a while and keep going back to it.
