Mistle17 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Doubt I'll be living in Newcastle next year, sadly, so would have to chuck it in regardless. However, if I did have the option of renewing my answer would be; no way. People need to start walking away imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 What happens if you don't meet the 31st deadline to cancel but just cancel the DD with your bank? Nothing, I cancelled in May or June. You just don't get your money back if you've already paid some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 People go to the match because they enjoy the socialising aspect of it and because they love NUFC. Certainly isn't some sort of display of approval for the t*** of an owner. Always tickles me when people talk about not going anymore like it is a brave act of defiance. Fair enough if you've had enough, but you will be replaced. Replaced, eh..? You mean like the 20,000 who were on the waiting list for STs under KK and SJH and who have either now replaced those who have dropped out or given up themselves...?? There aint NO 20,000 waiting list now...! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't alter the fact that you can go now quite easily and get a season ticket, as merlin says there is no waiting list Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Much as some would like to play this out as a reactionary thing, it is really more of a natural demographic. Moaning about the ownership, the chairman, the manager, the shit team, the shit player etc, and stopping attending, buying a season ticket or whatever is really nothing new. It's happened as long as I've supported Newcastle and human nature means it always will. There was a period which coincided with our best recent years after the Magpie Group took over, we were on a high, the Premier League hype was ramping up, football changed from a rough working class experience to a fashionable day out, stadiums were revamped and a whole lot of "mode" fans jumped on board (some would say "plastics"), and this was when the mythical 20,000 waiting list stuff came about. These "mode" fans really did come along, I saw it, as did many others. They were fine, good lads and lasses who I knew, but they had never been real "football people" - it just became the thing to do for them on a weekend. Unsurprisingly most of them have since found something else to fill in Saturday afternoons - and good luck to them. It wasn't just us, it was football generally and even Sunderland saw their gates double overnight when the novelty of a new stadium hit town. There always has been a certain percentage of a certain generation who will quit going for whatever reason. Any of the above complaints, or perhaps financial reasons, or they just get into doing other stuff. However life goes on, there's always a new generation coming along, for who the thrill of getting out in town with their mates and attending the match for the first time will hook them forever. Throughout the whole of football attendances will go up and down, people will stop attending while others start, but Newcastle as always will be one of the best supported teams around. That's just the way it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post but think our crowds will start dropping quite rapidly if the current regime is there for a long stint unless they completely overturn their policies, which is not going to happen.

Benwell Lad Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I mean, we're not as successful, so less people will want to go. That's just football. I was looking on .com at stats for the first season when I went to games. Our first six home attendances of the season were, 35,000, 57,000, 33,000, 43,000, 29,000, 14,000, and so it went on through the season. Later we had consecutive home game attendances of 27,000 versus the mackems and 55,000 versus Leeds. Bizarre by today's standards or what ? Anyway, it looks like fans coming and going is nowt new Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Going to a match should be a release no? Should make you forget about all the shit during the week and just enjoy the football and being at the match. You can completely understand why people are giving it up. Doesn't mean they support the club any less, just means the club aren't delivering what they should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I mean, we're not as successful, so less people will want to go. That's just football. That's got very little to do with it for a lot of people packing it in, if you read the thread and soak in the actual points being made for once then you'd know that. Your "input" here is just a constant stream of non-points, seemingly made exclusively to trivialise other people's genuine concerns about the club. Sod it, you're going on ignore with some other muppets. It's been really good fun, Ian - bye! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant was, of course people have all sorts of reasons for not going. But if we were challenging at the top of the league the place would be packed. No matter what anyone thinks about Sports Direct advertising or any of that. Conversely, if we had a great owner and were always battling relegation, crowds would be smaller.

GM Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Keith Barrett, whoever he is, clearly needs to get some professional help, and not just with his poor grammar, either. The man's clearly bi-polar. Right - for those who want to do it by email: Email [email protected] with your supporter number (and probably your seat number etc just to be on the safe side) stating your desire to cancel your season ticket at the end of the current season. If you say you're cancelling with immediate effect they'll bar your season ticket with immediate effect, so you'll not get to see matches you've already paid for.
