13/14k there according to Mark Douglas.

Take tickets, don't use them. Two more empty seats.

I still say there's less tickets been sold then has been made out and the club have simply removed lots of unsold seats from sale like they have with the friendly on Saturday. When we played Arsenal at home on the first day of the 2011/12 season the crowd was only 46,500 and there's not a chance that there's more people prepared to go to this one.

Sounds like more than 12 protesters there tonight Stevie boy!

Norwich is awful to get to mind, it’s a fucking hike but even so it’s poor, the Spurs game will be a good marker, we get 3000 . Spurs will sell out no problem. New grounds always do. If we're having to return tickets for Saturday 3pm games, especially the first one of the season, I'd suggest the away following will be largely reduced this season.

Wow! A Saturday 3pm kick off not on TV and 700 tickets returned to the hone club. Looks like the away support has taken a big hit as well. On a side note I've just nipped into Town to pick something up and parked in the car park at SJP. Literally had to walk under the Milburn and right past the ticket office so I thought I'd call in and see if they'd tell me how many tickets had been sold for Saturday. Firstly there wasn't a soul inside buying tickets and a young lad (looked like he could have been a YTS kid) dressed in his Fun88 kit manning the counter. Asked him how sales were going and he actually laughed and said they'd have been better off making it a behind closed doors game. Asked me if I wanted to buy any tickets. I said no and left.

Loving this. Once again the true number is far less than this. Check the seating plan and even the areas that always sell out first for these fixtures (Central East Stand) are showing as almost empty yet loads of seats have been removed from sale in the less popular wing sections. These seats haven't been sold, simply taken off sale to look like they are and they've done similar in parts of the Leazes. Less than 3k sold for Saturday so far.

It's freely available on the online ticketing plan. However it's not particularly accurate. There are several sections of standard seating which have never been placed on sale but are showing up as being sold simply becasue they have never been made available. There's 1k seats in Leazes Level 4 which have never gone on sale for example. As things stand, unless they are given away they will remain empty but the ticketing site shows them as being sold. The true availability for Arsenal is well in excess of 11k.

At the rate season tickets are selling it's looking like the final total will be around the 26k mark. If this season pans out as expected, games v the likes of Burnley and Bournemouth who bring a minimal following with them could possibly see crowds in the very low 30,000s.

3 top half finishes in over 60 years and Steve Bruce guided them to one of those 4 European games in their entire history. They're literally as small time as they come and that's before you consider that they are nothing more than a bang average 3rd division club these days.

One positive of boycotting and staying well clear of SJP is that I no longer need to surround myself with these morons. Biggest hypocrites going. They'll be booing him by the end of September when we're rock bottom of the league.

What about travelling down on coaches put on by the club. Do the club still run coaches to away games? I thought they'd stopped that years ago.

Would enjoy watching that.

Unfortunately I think mike is right on this one. You sir, are a rectangle. Rafa made too many demands (same as at previous clubs) he wanted to go to China & signed a pre contract agreement he also applied for the Leicester job. Go form an opinion, research both sides of the argument or failing that just fuck off. Actually, 2nd shot here. Fuck off, I mean that, you’re on the wrong place here. This place is full of people who have done so much for this club. People who started the flags, the singing corners etc, all of them on here. People who started Ashley Out, the Magpie group, all on here. People who have took up their own time to look into how Ashley conducts his businesses and how it effects NUFC, on here. People who have tried to ask him questions, even buying shares in his companies to do so, on here. People who have put their hands in their pockets to start protests against him, on here. People who have put their faces to protests and risked pesky legal action designed to intimidate them into submission, on here. People who have got into contact with business contacts in order to make attempts to buy the club, on here. These people are on here, and they have done more to support this club than those who just accept what Ashley says, buying season tickets and merchandise blindly. If you want to do that, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit are readily available, but don’t come here and start spitting the shit you have licked off Ashley’s arse to us.

Is the HMRC investigation still ongoing or has that all been wrapped up now.

Looking like a decent crowd then. Another signing should see it over 50k. Ashley won't believe his luck. Of all the clubs in the country he went and bought the one with the thickest, most gullible fanbase.

Bruce is in no position to offer guarantees such as that.

I saw you, why weren't you wearing any pants? Too hot for pants mate. Nude mowing is where it's at in heat.

Just flew right over my house about 20 minutes ago. I live a 10 minute walk from the training ground so his chopper was very low (and fucking noisy which I hoped might be engine failure) as it went overhead. I was cutting the front garden at the time and I'm embarrassed to say I flicked the Vs at him as he went over. Quickly realised what I'd done and had a scan round at the other houses to see if anyone was watching me.

Its nowt to to with my friends list. It's to do with the various NUFC fans sites that I joined up to years ago which I'm now having to leave!

Remember the days when 20k would have gathered at SJP to see such a huge big money signing? Not a soul there yesterday for his arrival.

Twitter and facebook has been embarrassing this past 24 hours. I think I might need to take a break from it for a while for my own sanity. A growing number of people now blaming Rafa for leaving, telling us we've all got to get behind Bruce, and even praising Ashley up for doing nothing more than spending the Perez/Joselu money during the same transfer window. It's absolutely pathetic like. Ashley is literally just one £20m signing away from not only ending the Arsenal boycott but selling another 10k season tickets and the fact that he's bled the club dry for the past 12 years is once again forgotten about (until his next move to totally shaft the club and its fans and the thick twats will all be up in arms again). He plays them like a fiddle and they're too thick to see it.

He'd like nothing more than to rid himself of the white elephant that is the football club, but he isn't going to sacrifice the brand association that he bought in the first place. That's why he will sell for cheap [with attachments], to somebody like Kenyon. He'll use the excuse that Kenyon has the best interests of the club at heart. White elephant? It makes him an absolute fortune and has given him advertising and coverage of which he could only dream of before he bought it. I doubt anyone had even heard of Mike Ashley before he bought NUFC, now I doubt there's anyone out there who hasn't heard of him! How about you read the entire post before commenting on the first fucking sentence. So it's not a white elephant then you utterly thick and angry little bastard Get a room! She's too angry and aggressive for my liking.
