Rhain Davis has similar Youtube vids, he's at Man U now i think.

Had a break down and retired from the game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Pike

But they're not simply an Anti-Ashley group. They've offered to work with the current regime on plenty of issues, they don't spend their entire time producing 'Ashley Out' banners. The question has been asked as to what have they done? Well not much so far, they're still a group in their infancy. If fans such as yourself got behind them and the momentum continued whereby they could claim to speak for thousands of fans then they could hopefully have more influence. Instead of sniping at them from the sidelines why don't you go to a meeting or offer your help to the committee? Your ideas as to what NUSC's aims should be aren't necessarily wrong but I think it would be a lot more useful if you put your thoughts to NUSC directly. That old chestnut again. It's like a f***ing cult!! "So, you disagree with everything we say, why not come along anyway and we'll re-educate you err... listen to what you've got to say, why not try the drink this drink and join us on our trip to a new home in the Sun?" I don't generally join groups who don't stand for anything I agree with and have no intention of listening to my point of view, who in fact probably regard me as a traitor to the cause and hate my guts. Until NUSC shows that it has even the slightest intention of developing into something more than an Ashley Out protest group, I'm not even considering joining. I'm afraid they'll have to make those first few steps without my input. It's a ridiculous suggestion that those who oppose NUSC should join it, why do people keep making it? Why would I possibly want those idiots to have more influence? Perhaps Gordon Brown should try that tactic at PMQs: "So David, you disagree with what I've said? Why not join the Labour party and put your thoughts to the government directly? Only ten quid and you get a free key-ring!!11 What do you say?" Anyway, there remains the fact that they're doing a really s*** job of running their club, how do their members feel about the fact that they've had only one real meeting in six months and that they still haven't told anyone what their rally is for? If I was a member then I'd be seriously pissed at what bad value for money I was getting. So you admit that you're willing to do f*** all then? You're not willing to try and influence them and you're content to sit on your arse while knocking others who are trying to do something. Fair enough then. While there is a lot I see wrong with how NUSC have behaved thus far, I see it as an opportunity to finally get a supporters' group together who may have a decent voice and I'm willing to give them a chance to prove themselves. You say your point of view wouldn't be listened to by NUSC, how the f*** do you know? You haven't tried. So sit behind your computer and snipe from the sidelines if that's what makes you happy but until you've tried to do something useful with your criticism I think it's a bit pathetic. Go to the meeting, people have tried to get there points across but are ignored by the remove Ashley brigade. Doesn't exactly encourage others to go and join the group especially when you have to pay.

Thanks for that, NUSC could do with some sort of spokesperson who does stuff like this.

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. It has been a case of the press and TV deciding what the popular story would be and then sticking with it. There has been no balance in the reporting, so it's no surprise that's what most people's think after watching TV and reading newspapers. Local TV reporting has been just as prejudiced. I have spoken to people outside the NE who also assume that we're all part of a baying mob looking for Ashley's head and cockney blood. When I tell them that many supporters are not of that opinion at all and have a very different view on Ashley's involvement and Keegan's part in the club's turmoil they are quite surprised. I'm not surprised, as you gave a false impression. Do they really think the "majority" of fans are behind a bloke who is going to relegate the club ? Are they the same people who booed the regime who gave us regular european football at Alan Shearers testimonial in front of a worldwise audience. The embarrassing thing is some of us are associated with by virtue of "supporting" the same clubs as these mongs. No wonder they "laugh at us". I'm not really sure what you mean or what you're saying. I think you're a decent bloke and undoubtedly a passionate Newcastle fan, but like some other NUSC supporters I think that your anti-Ashley obsession has become so irrational that you will be disappointed if we DON'T get relegated - as you think that will vindicate your opinion. That is really sad. now mate. NOBODY, NOBODY who supports the football club wants them to get relegated. Do you seriously think that having paid up front for 3 seasons I want to see the club get relegated again ? THAT is very, very sad indeed, from someone as old as yourself who has seen this club through some really s*** times and don't want them back again, and no the club isn't that bad - yet. I see you are now labelling anybody who wants Ashley out as "obsessed"............ Can I ask, and it's a serious question which you may have answered in some other post, I don't know i don't read all your posts, but will you continue to go if we do get relegated ? you haven't been on here for a while have you ? The current situation is not as bad as they years before the Halls and Shepherd - yet, and I was one of the 15-20,000 then so I'm not giving up now. Pretty much a no brainer sort of question that one, but I'm prepared to bet that a few others who blindly support Ashley and slated the Halls and Shepherd will give up when true mediocrity that they didn't know the like of, hits them So yes you will go. Thank you that's all I wanted to know. And I've been on here most days, just don't always post or read every post.

Is it illegal to PM people to request PMs? As I understand his post, it is solely the act of soliciting PM's that falls foul. How you go about it means nothing in the eyes of the law. Yes but its the same principle in that youtube offering you the ability to search for said videos and also stroing them. Has anything ever happened to the tube about this? Yeah they are getting their asses sued for millions from record companies and the like thats why they remove stuff now.

I'm trying to find a post in this thread which connects to yours. EDIT - you mean the NUFC board? It was a response to the original post. I mean the people on this forum who still think we need to relax and give Ashley time to fix the problems at the club. So my first point stands then. Absolutley. You'll get no disagreement from me that Ashley and Shepherd are as ugly as each other. f*** that for a box of pennies, I'd nosh down on Ashley's cock WAY before Freddy's. Why is that? Serious question. Is the politics/finances of the club more important to you than what happens on the field. Freddy and John might have fattened the golden goose to feed themselves, but Mike is just letting the Goose waste away. At least we as fans got something from the previous regime. Are you saying you'd prefer bottom half mediocrity, balanced books and an owner who only takes back what he puts in over European football, debts comparable with other clubs and an owner creaming off some of the profits? Cutting off your nose to spite your face if you ask me. Eh ?? He just thinks Ashley looks hot while Fat Freddy does not

Thought I'd bump this just because it's nice to give

http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/02/17/united-to-combat-season-ticket-fears-61634-22942981/ Thought this might interest certain people who are thinking of not renewing for whatever reason next season.

I wouldn't believe any of the wages suggested by the press

Chronicle yesterday said he'd played 20 games in 2 seasons, that's an awful record.

Promoting NUSC and get a few more members apparently.

Care to expand why ?

the sad thing is that you really still think Ashley is improving the club and is better than his predecessors, and anti-NUSC for that very reason And if that was his opinion why would the concern you ?

They said on the local news yesterday it went ok I think.

This http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/predictor/default.stm ?

Christ on a bike that's alot. There was something on sky not along ago explaining the stupid wages some League two players were commanding as well. That's where the problem starts. In fact I think they mentioned one Conference player but refused to name him who was earning thousands a week !

I'm sure he'd show up for charity. Plus the appeal thing will be over by then.

Because for Liverpool fans it's no big deal. We got beat !!

I don't understand why it'll get moved to St James Park ?

It's not a boycott. It's a rally. A rally for what ? NUSC So if there are people there chanting for Ashley to leave they are not there for NUSC is that what your saying ? Serious question. I'm not saying anything like that. Many people want Ashley to go and many don't. Many are NUSC members and many aren't. The two things aren't mutually exclusive, so I'm sure you will get some of those chants. But then you get those chants away from NUSC organised rallys too. I've chanted it myself in the stadium without a committee telling me it was ok. But in an organised rally stuff surely has to be organised therefore the leaflets should be all join NUSC, banners saying the same and people in charge of what happens. Thats the whole point of an organised committee and an organised rally. What I predict will happen is you will have an overruling over people chanting for Ashley to go and for cockneys this and that and that is my whole problem with the current set up of NUSC. It appears from the outside to be a solely anti Ashley protest group. I'm sorry but that is how it looks and how it sounds from their meetings.
