I only now go for a few pints with my brother and mates who ive gone to the matches with for over 20 years.

 

The depressing part of last week was not feeling confident about being able to match Cardiff.

 

Save your money and go to the pub instead. Stop funding the leech.

 

He didn’t say he went into the ground.

 

I did and watched the game unfortunately i didn't enjoy it at all even though we won.

 

I've had my season ticket now for 25 years and have never been so empty about the club as a whole. I support the team/manager its the club that's killing it.

Only relegation and no promotion will hand the power to the support.

Wrong. We have the power now. It's just not being used.

No, the support have fuck all as long as the premier League wonga drops on Ashley's door mat.

For all the support who have already gave up the ghost it's not made any difference to the attendances.

Crumpy is correct there, the size of our support should be our biggest asset unfortunately with this bloke in charge it just adds to the list of things that make him stay, it awful to say but we need to go down this season.

You're confusing declared attendance with actual attandence. Only one game against the so called top six has exceeded 52000 this season and that was the New Years day came played a day later for TV. The tipping point has been reached and leavers are not being replaced now. If you open your ears more and more people are talking about not renewing, people have had enough, it's just a question of if it will be enough for Ashley to call it a day. We will find out the answer to that soon enough.

2 of us not renewing next season and I think my grandad has had enough as well. 70 years he's had went and he reckons Ashley is as bad if not worse than anyone he's seen in charge in that time. It's partly an age thing, but I can guarantee he'd still be there if we were competing.

I wonder if Rafa and his mind numbing tactics are equally to blame for that final decision to throw in the towel? 11 years since Ashley arrived and it appears now is the time to make the ultimate decision. Sad all round.

Give it a rest man.

It's more than just the club, it's the loss of the day out with the bairn, he's 17 he'll be off into adulthood before I know it, it's the loss of time with my older brother who I simply won't see as often if we're not at the match.  It's been a real wrench to cancel and I've wrestled with the decision but it's the only stand we have left to make as a fanbase.

Indeed it's a last resort move but we know how much regard he has for the supporters.

 

I sincerely hope you and your family can find some form or substitute to going to the game and in due time return when the leech has finally been removed.

As tough as it’s been to cancel season tickets (I cancelled mine this month too) because of the matchday experience .. not just the match itself .. it’s a good thing that there is a big bunch of none league sides within our region that (in some cases ) are doing very well and very much worth watching.  Spennymoor. Darlington. South Shields. Morpeth. Even Gateshead to a degree.  Makes it that little bit easier to still get your football fix.

Even for me, who only manages about 4 or 5 home games is a season, it's a hard experience to give up on. Don't envy the people who have to give up ST at all.

 

But we've just to accept that the NUFC we're used to supporting is gone, it's only a shell with the Ashley parasite inhabiting it. Until we get it back that matchday experience has got to be sacrificed.

To be fair it was always going to be hard for Rafa to follow up the all out attacking, free flowing, possession dominating football Kinnear, Pardew and McClaren had us playing.

 

Which of those would you replace Rafa with?

Good mate of mine who lives down my way (Newmarket-Cambridge area) is chucking his.  They have 4 tickets in their family, all with over 100 loyalty points and I think they've been going best part of 20-25 years.  I think his old man is going to keep 2, but even he has lost interest and barely goes.  So I wonder if he'll follow suit. 

 

I used to have an ST for a couple of seasons and travel up for a large number of games, plus a fair few aways.  Binned it when they split the singing section up.  But I still used to go to at least 4-5 home games plus a similar number away.  I've not been to a home game this season and I don't really plan to.  My life and weekends used to revolve around the club.  Now it's almost like an inconvenience.

 

Absolute disgrace what the club has become.
