Rich Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 The stewards should be fucking ashamed of themselves, unless they're all mackems. A steward let Taylor in with his banner from our little group that went together off here like. Some of them seemed to fucking hate taking stuff off people apparently. Just normals blokes/women at the end of the day. Also saw some getting very out of hand at the end too, totally uncalled for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Just passed my sackpardew poster through to someone who'd gone through turnstile then he handed it back to me on other side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It was a failed protest, not just the lack of support, but also people holding up creased up wrinkly A4 pieces of paper they'd pulled out of their underwear. It was a major misjudgement of our support and ideas are needed for things that will get people on side on a larger scale. Many of the supporters would likely be drawn to bright shiny objects. This is a good place to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 People would probably get behind a 'buy a pie and sit there and eat it quietly' protest I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you flank em a bit then? You want a walk out? Offer free pies outside the turnstiles, but put laxatives in them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It failed at the ground a little, but before the game it had a massive impact on the media. Even during the game there was plenty of cameras singling fans out with the banners. It's not a total failure, it's keeping people talking about it and a debate for the sports media and that keeps pressure on. I do wonder how many fans had their banner confiscated and how it would of looked if they all were allowed in the ground. It can't stop though, it has to carry on. Even for away games if possible, where it maybe easier to get more banners in. There were black bags full of them at most turnstiles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Had my hopes up by the fans performance during the So'ton game. It just shows the difference between our home and away support. Luckily we're away again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF3 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I only went to the game today as I got given a ticket for my birthday. Was really looking forward to, and expecting an even more hostile atmosphere than the Cardiff game last season. What a let down our fans are. I have a lot of respect for everyone who organised this and hope that they keep building the pressure. Unfortunately our fans were fucking wank today. There was even a bloke a few rows behind me saying "put them away" during the 5th minute when the posters were being held up. Pricks like that deserve the shite being served up. Couldn't believe the amount of people politely applauding a crap 2-2 draw to Hull. Urgh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told I'd be banned from the stadium if I tried to hand some out. When I asked why I was told they were offensive (the police next to me were laughing) one of the managers came down and reiterated I'd be banned unless I moved. They absolutely had been prompted before hand and done as much as they could to stop them from getting in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 The amount of people that go to the game as simply part of their day out makes this impossible. A good 60% are just not arsed in the slightest, they'll go for their meal afterwards and that's it. The 2 goals and ending on a 'high' makes it an enjoyable Saturday afternoon for them. These people saying "Ashley is the problem, not Pardew" don't even mean it. They just couldn't give a fuck. If it was an Ashley out protest they wouldn't bother either. Club is fucked. Hate to say it but its true. Ashley's got a perfect scenario he can keep milking forever more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your point, just couldn't imagine being that much of a jobsworth to take stuff off people , though I am just assuming they're fans like us, which of course may not be the case.

Guest Bert Shaft Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Not worth bothering anymore. Paul Merson has has spouted some sh*te about Newcastle in the past however on Soccer Saturday today he was spot on when he said that the only protest that would work against Ashley is dont go to the games.Its no problem for me to stay away because it feels more like Sports Direct Athletic than Newcastle United to me these days. Hope fat c* nt changes the kit to red white and blue. He might as f* ckin' well. F*ck me, I' m even starting to wish Fat Fred owned the club again. ( I know, shoot me!)

Then Le Tissier backed it up with a story from his time at Southampton. They had a manager (can't remember which one) who was struggling and unpopular with fans for about 2 years. Nothing changed until the supporters stopped going to games. Then , it began to hit the cub, and the manager was despatched. It might only take a few games of low home attendances, but that might be the key factor that makes the difference. Maybe that could be SackPardew.com next line of attack?
