Super fan I was thinking about this 'nufc for lifez!' attitude yesterday. I've had my season ticket for 8 years but if we go down/pardew stays I'll seriously consider giving it up. I'm told by 'elders' that there's been much worse than this. Well, not sure how that helps my decision. Best way I could describe it is, I love the wife. However, if she was a c*** all the time, brought no enjoyment to my life, continually made me miserable, then I'd be off like a shot. Why should NUFC be different? I watch football for enjoyment, something to look forward too. As it stands, the only thing to look forward to is the beer and I really cant see that changing anytime soon. If you don't enjoy it then stop going. Then, when things pick up again you can come crawling back and pretend that you've never been away like one or two who I know who packed in during the Championship season only to come scuttling back last season when we were playing well.

Super fan Not a super fan. Just an ordinary supporter that won't stop going to watch his team because he's not keen on the manager. Clearly an alien concept to yourself.

I remember the old saying, managers, players and directors come and go but the fans are there for life. Not with a lot of the modern day, cowardly type supporters that claim to support NUFC these days it would seem. I can't stand Pardew but I love NUFC more than I dislike him so he certainly won't be stopping me from watching my team next season should he still be here.

Cock piss pardew

I think we might lose this one 8-1.

Can't believe we are still employing this fraud as our manager. Hoped to wake up today to hear he had been given his marching orders never to darken our doors again.

Like he is the problem He's one of many. The grey haired prick in the dugout is the main one

He needs replaced in the summer regardless if we stay up. A decent manager could be getting so much more out of the players we have. Bringing Ben Arfa on for the last 15 minutes and then pumping the ball up to Shola was just pointless, as was our entire 2nd half display in all honesty.

Aye. And another 4-2 win like against Southampton still wouldn't be any good to us.

Said in yesterdays chronicle they were bringing 1,500.

We need a bigger ground

been like that for me for the past hour-ish, yet the 'seats available' are going down drastically Aye that'll be the lucky sods who don't have to go to work today going up and buying them in person. Apparently the queue is massive outside the ticket office.

Got through on the quick seats thing but it won't let me change the amount of seats I want from zero to one.

3-0 loss. Poor refereeing decision against us for good measure.

Welcome!

It's been staggering baring in mind that last time we reached the last 16 of this competition we pulled in a measly 28,500 against AZ Alkmaar and that included 2,500 Dutchmen! Looks like we'll have nearly 20,000 more than that there tonight. Atmosphere should be great. Just hope they don't score an early goal to flatten it a bit.

They are keeping the Gallowgate upper back for cash turnstiles. I emailed them about it yesterday as I was after 4 more seats together and knew they hadn't put those seats on sale yet. Here's the reply: Good Afternoon. The upper tier of the Gallowgate will be used for cash turnstiles on the evening of the game and will not be released for general sale before this point. Regards Ian - Box office

No tickets left in the Gallowgate? Damnit. You can pay on the day for the Gallowgate.

Shouldn't let it worry you man.

But they were singing 'Geordie boys, taking the p*ss' when it was 0-0 on Sunday. But surely they only go to the Europa league games???

I hate this, anti-sunderland chants every second chant Walking down the cobbles afterwards singing Geordie Boot Boys last time with a real emphasis on 'we are mental and we are mad' followed by a rendition of drunk and disorderly. Proper nails. How dare these people sing songs at a football match. Quite disgusting behaviour.

The stadium pre 2000 held just over 36,500. Then they added 15,500 extra seats with the introduction of level 7 but around 1,500 of those seats were in level 4 of the North West corner (under the sky boxes) meaning that the lower bowl of the stadium holds around 38k and level 7 holds approx 14k. Looks like around 33k sold so far. Hopefully we can shift another 10k in the next 3 days.

Just been to get 4 tickets in the Gallowgate and was told only single seats left in there but that there'll be cash turnstiles for the Gallowgate on the night. So rather than take my £60 today we've just got to take our chances and turn up on the night which is daft when there's still loads of seats available. The lad was saying it's basically just single seats everywhere except the Leazes but we don't like sitting in there.

Great idea. Then we can get Williamson straight back in.

I would be happy with that.
