I sit in the corner and I'm pretty sure there's nee puffs sat around where I sit but Ian reckons there's 5k of them at every match so he must have got that figure from somewhere. I don't think i ever had to tell the club of my sexual preferences when i got my season ticket mind.
He was making an estimate based on the % of the population man.
If you don't think there's an issue of homophobia in football, you're deluded. How many out players are there, for example? I've heard it myself loads at games and when playing as a kid. And I'm pretty f***ing sure Newcastle is not a special enlightened exception. Also, "pretty sure there's nee puffs around me"...
And if people don't give a s*** about all that, fair enough. But I fail to see how a Newcastle flag that also represents LGBT pride is something to get annoyed about.
I have my problems with 'modern football', an nufc/pride flag would certainly not be one of those.
I'm not annoyed in the slightest about it. I just don't see the point in it.
It's so people know they are welcome regardless of who they are. When the word puff is getting thrown around in 2017 it quite clearly is needed.
