That VAR decision man

Never a sending off that like Keeper hardly touched him

Not playing for Liverpool

You can want a new stadium without wanting it to be full of kernts The two things aren’t like co-joined twins ya knaa

Bosnich played for Chelsea when he got busted and banned for being on the bugger dust, he was railing 6 bags a day at one point

An outfield player wearing lycra leg warmers. In September. FUCK MODERN FOOTBALL

Everytime he says “Fletch” I want to smash my own lugs in with a house brick

Aye, I stayed awake for 72 hours sat in front of my computer hitting F5 non-stop and when I finally did land a ticket I felt a surge of emotion that I hadn’t experienced since I heard On A Ragga Tip at Wentworth Leisure Centre roller disco whilst on my first cowie But the makems know the real truth, Mag tickets are easy to come by, no one wants to watch us play Barca in the Champions League under the lights

Bloke I know started a company that created the software that powers a lot of the online gambling casinos & games He’s got millions of billions and his main residence is on an exclusive island in the Bahamas You do the math To be fair to him he also gives a fuckload of massive charity donations and does fundraising for disadvantaged communities in both the UK and overseas

Dude, it wasn’t the opening salvo of a Ready To Go-esque catchment area discussion No-one gives a shite about that sort of yokel nonsense apart from the hillbillies down the road, don’t lower yourself to indulging in one of their special interest topics All I was saying was that we have a small city as our main urban conurbation and not much in the way of out of region match going support So if we have hundreds of thousands of members, given the demographics of our fan base, many of those memberships won’t be real people

It’s the Clarky Cat that’s the worst of the drugs. Street dealers won’t even sell it to you

Some fuckwit makem claiming we couldn’t sell out the Barca game, lowest attendance of the season for us That’s a rib tickler

Even for those of us who can get online at 10am and have never previously struggled to get a ticket that way, the Barca and Arsenal games this season have been a completely different kettle of fish with thousands of tickets getting hoovered up in a few minutes by the memberships who have the first few hundred queue places It can’t be genuine members because the maths just don’t add up Never seen anything like it before

Pressing F5 for days on end and engineering a decent queue position at 10am on a Monday are the new versions of spending the night outside the ground How times have changed

Unlimited, unvetted memberships really is at the heart of our touting problems like. Combine that with the tech that’s available and you can see why a normal punter has very little chance of a ticket unless they get lucky in the ballot.

And gambling is a crippling addiction Would we be lol’ing if the local skag dealer was putting out bantz on Insta ?

it was just to illustrate the point that we have a small population even in our most densely populated catchment area and we have a very localised support base

Harvey Barnestaff

In the world of football where the vast majority of your financial income and outgoings are openly revealed, to claim that revealing how many members you have paying £40 per membership, is commercially sensitive, is just ludicrous. There's fuck all commercial sensitivity in the grand scheme of things. They just don't want us to know because: 1) It'll be demoralising for match going fans to know the number of memberships they're competing with 2) And this is the main one I think. We can take an informed guess at how many might be touts given that the vast majority of match going Newcastle fans will be living in or around a city of only 300,000 people So for example, if they were to reveal that there's 200,000 members, then we know that there's an absolute fuckload of touts because our match going support outside of the region isn’t very significant

Addendum to Bobbydazzla's original review a) - when observed from on high, the lack of either noise or even noticeable physical movement from 50% of the East Stand is something to behold. We should sell Saga the naming rights. Am sure Daren Persson would pay for a few advertising boards round there too. b) - when observed from on high, the exodus of Pints On 35's is something to behold. Like lemmings rushing to jump off a cliff into a sea of shite fake spanish lager It was a warm night, under the lights, playing well against one of the giants of world football. And yet people still can't get animated, or resist the pull of El Carlingo

Compare to a gig. People will sing and get involved if they’re stood up, if they’re sat down they’ll sit and watch Stand to support and sit to spectate, in simple terms

Bobbydazzla’s Trip Advisor review of Leazes Safe Standing Used to have an ST up there 20 year ago and I can still dance up them stairs like a mountain goat on whizz Can also still see the action at the Gallowgate and I still don’t wear glasses. What they say about wanking and losing eyesight is lies boys Real mixed bag of supporters and given the amount of selfies happening I reckon there were a lot of 1st timers or infrequent visitors People stood all game (yay) people sang most of the game (yay). No real animosity with the away fans, all very friendly Couple of confused Asian Barca fans made it all the way up to the back row of the home section and then were ushered into the away end by security Conclusion - if people stand, even a rag tag bunch of supporters of all ages can make a half decent racket

Aye, seen it all. One lad ran on for a selfie and security headlocked him so his pal then ran on the pitch to try and rescue him and then they both ran back into the stands Both were allowed to go on their merry way, guess there’s little point in banning a Barcelona fan from SJP Looked like they came from the pitchside block of Barca fans and U19’s in the Milburn

He was mooching about on the pitch at the end, hugging Barca players Probably just asked to be subbed so he can keep himself fresh, big week for him this week, all the fit as fuck student poonani is back in town
