Just 43000 newcastle paying fans there yesterday, minus the stay aways means possibly just 41000 nufc fans in that ground yesterday.

Becoming the norm now, not just a one off

Nowhere near 40k there yesterday if the pictures doing the rounds on Twitter are anything to go by. Looked around 5k empty seats in the Leazes End alone, Milburn was very sparsely populated in both the corporate areas and L7, and the Gallowgate Upper was only 50% occupied. Looked more like 36/37k there.

 

I don't even think they're counting tickets sold any more as there's not a chance 15k people bought tickets for that on general sale. They're simply plucking numbers out of thin air.

Most of the emptiest parts don't show up on tv. Gallowgate Upper was less than 50% occupied (there's an article doing the rounds about that), Milburn L7 had a few thousand gaps and corporate areas were sparsely populated. Ground certainly looked less than 75% full. Sometimes the TV pictures can be misleading though because the fullest parts (East Stand/Gallowgate lower) are the areas TV viewers see.

Apparently corporate has taken a massive hit this season

 

Not surprised at the prices, my mate gets hounded by the corporate team on the phone and by email just because he took a modicum of interest in the table prices, offering discounts from £100 per head reduced to £70.

 

Still shite price as you get fuck all for your money, it’s more the fact that they are chasing business that’s funny as fuck.

So approximately a third of season ticket holders are going to be able to get these freebies? How are the remaining 2/3 rds going to feel? Glad the efforts of boycotting have been recognised. Wish i could get one of the free tickets, so that i could bin it.
