Mick Lowes on Radio Newcastle this morning called the AO campaign an undoubted success in terms of numbers.

As an absent season ticket holder I'm interested in how attendees felt about the boycott and specifically the numbers involved.

Reporting boycott a success so far on Radio Newcastle

correct.

The success of the boycott was always reliant on season ticket holders not attending. I'm just staying at home as I don't want to be part of any media circus. Level 7 is definitely going to look half empty but we need the East Standers to be part of the protest as well as the lower Gallowgate/Leazes. Im predicting 35k in actual attendance with a match attendance given as circa 42k.

It truly is going to backfire on the contributers, thanks for your support in our campaign.

My thoughts and position matched exactly there Wallsendmag.

They're going to try anything to get people to attend.

It's blokes (and lasses) like Cookie that will make or break this boycott. Make a change.

That's exactly what attending on Sunday is, an endorsement of what is presently NUFC. If this is what you're happy with then enjoy your day, hopefully there'll be some legroom either side of you.

If it's not less than 40k I doubt I'd be able to take my seat for the remaining matches. Not only rip NUFC but also those fans, its all yours.

Too many bites, just leave be.

Personally, if it's below 40k it'll raise a few eyebrows. Anywhere near 30k and it's a fantastic success with panic statements on Monday. With my recent experiences of the apathy at sjp I reckon it'll be around the 40 to 42 thousand mark.

Spurs goal in the first five minutes would be nice.

First one I remember is home win v Liverpool cica 1970/71. Sure I'd been before that but mustn't have been memorable.

Nufc died before today but my god if anyone wanted a push in the right direction today's performance should have done it.

Our biggest match of the season and I don't want it to happen. Sums up, after 45 years of going, why I've finally given my season ticket up. He's broke me.

Ayoze becoming a derby legend would be a perfect day.

It needs to be shared so that anyone who remains in doubt can be educated.

thought the same, also christie the serial killer to the left.

Atmosphere at matches next season going to be woeful given the numbers if longer term supporters giving up.

Simod? ( in response to Mick)

Want to care again, this isn't fun.

Don't know what's worse, the ongoing debacle or the fact I'm watching after 45 years since my first match and not really caring.

The best bar non ( in my opinion).
