cp40 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 If you measured 'best fans' by distance travelled x numbers travelling. theres no arguememnt, we have the furthest to travel and travel in the biggest numbers. the only team in the prem who can challenge us on that is Manure, cos thier fans are from the whole universe.

Wallsendmag Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Sheff Wed also sold out now (more tickets requested) nearly 3 weeks before the match despite it being live on TV at a crappy time and no trains running on Boxing Day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Our travelling fans are legendary and as said if it was down to distance travelled X numbers then nobody would touch us. Best in the land - not sure ?? We're a club in a large catchment area with a huge fan base but that doesn't make us any better than the hundred or so who will follow Darlo, Accy Stanley or any similar club away. Maybe they're the best fans in the land. We'll see how good we are when we hit the inevitable sticky patch and lose a couple of games and whether we stick by the team and management or whether we start shouting for Keegan/Shearer again.

I can recall a lot of anti-climaxes in these types of games (Boxing Day, Good Fridays, big cup matches etc at Barnsley, Sheff Wed, Sheff U etc) when we took 10,000 plus and the team froze on the day. Hopefully this lot will be better prepared and not freeze. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 really wish I was going on Saturday like. I am jelous to say the least. Still, going on Boxing Day.

THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!* ( south yorkshire*) I think it will be great for a lot of the young uns who may not have experienced one of these days before. Years ago it was the standard for games in South Yorkshire. I've seen some big away followings, I missed the Liverpool away 0-4 cup game but I think the biggest I ever saw was Sheff Wed away one promotion season when we lost 4-2. Estimates put our support at 16-18,000 and although it was harder to give an accurate number back then the gate was about 48,000 and we definitely had at least a third of that.

Frazzle Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 The away stand only holds 6k iirc so I don't know where the extra people will go? Having said that we haven't technically sold 7k yet, just been offered them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notts county Away last promtion season sticks in the mind as a massive noisey away following as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 This is what usually impresses me about Newcastle fans - the away following. I've said before, I'm not surprised you get large numbers at home still because of the geography of the area, but to consistently pack out away ends and indeed in this case potentially outnumber the home fans, is indicitive of the passion of the fanbase.

Mowen Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Best away crowd I've been in was probably the 7k or so at Blackburn when Big Sam was in charge (of us). Shite performance, but a cracking atmosphere for 90minutes. Near-death experience when Oba opened the scoring too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane2005 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 By the way not to dampen the spirits , the mackems took 12,000 to barnsley , Roy Keanes first games in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
