Wallsendmag Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Just checked, east stand leazes corner end looks half empty. Back of the Gallowgate is half empty. L7 is off limits to check so guessing bar ST's its fairly empty. Corporates are half empty either side of Ashley Leazes is half empty nearer the boxes and 1/3 nearer the front. Rest is up to ST holders to stay away. By empty I mean currently unsold. Looks like around 40k sold so far plus whatever Spurs bring. If 15k season ticket holders stay away it'll be sub 30k. Our lowest ever PL crowd is just over 32k which was due to the reduced capacity when the Gallowgate was being rebuilt. In fact we are the only club in the history of the Premier League never to have had an attendance of under 30k. Manchester United had less than 30 k attendance in the past? They had a couple of 29,000 attendances in the 92/93 season v Ipswich and Crystal Palace iirc. Edited 29,736 v Crystal Palace. 31k v Ipswich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Dont forget, the club will announce its attendance inclusive of all tickets sold. A different number of attendees has to be provided by law to the local authorities (Police/Fire/Ambulance etc) due to fire regs/safety. Due to the Freedom Of Information Act people can obtain this information if they request it. Will be interesting to find out what the actual attendance will be.

That's commendable, even us have occasionally gone below 30k at the Camp Nou in cup games against poor opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for that I am making sure I won't go for a pint with him even though I am travelling up from Southampton this weekend and won't be back for a while.

Peppe Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 If we got a good manager () who had to work with Carver and the lads as his backroom staff and under the current regime, and who somehow managed to get us playing decent football and had us on the top half of the league, would you come back? I've kind of given up on the club altogether while Ashley is still here as there will never be any ambition of doing anything to compete and I feel like getting a manager in who did well would just prolong the suffering of having the fat cunt as our owner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not giving up yet though I am going to keep trying to convince him to stay away. Other than that most of my Facebook are staying away. Definitely think the crowd will be lower than 40,000. Anything lower will be a huge success and obvious on the Sky cameras. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodles Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 That little article George Caulkin wrote as a guest blogger for the site is absolutely sensational. I'd urge anyone who is unsure of what to do on at the game to give it a read. Unbelievably good, heartfelt and edifying in its approach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleBingo Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Been going since 1978 and am a long term season ticket holder, but won't be going back this season or indeed next, until either a) Ashley goes, or b) he shows some genuine ambition.....not holding my breath on that one.

Belfast Boy Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The last paragraph is up their with Sir Bobby's quote: Ashley owns Newcastle, but he is not Newcastle. He is not the blessed air in that stadium, the air that you breathe and which your relatives and friends and idols inhaled and exhaled before you. He is not the club. The club is your memories, the club is inside you, that power, that meaning, that identity, that black and white beauty, those long bus journeys, those bleary mornings and late nights, belonging and feeling, loving and hurting. Those good days. Your family. Your club. The club is you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
