According to RTG lore, Internet hard/funny man True Geordie was a 'massive Lads fan' when he was a nipper.

 

Can anybody shed any light on this matter?

Doubtful. From what I have heard is that he has lived his whole life in North Shields, and whole family are diehard Newcastle fans.

How much of a fan he is can be debated since he apparently never goes to games and resorts to streams, hence his lack of activity this season.

ALL Newcastle fans used to be "massive lads fans" up until 1992. Then they all just decided to stop supporting s*nderland and started to support Newcastle because Newcastle started doing well in 1992, apparently.

Aye he does. He's probably the only player in their entire starting 11 (apart from Kirchoff, maybe) that I'd have in ours.

You wouldn't have Defoe?

 

I mentioned this to the reasonable makems at work last week- Pickford looks like a real prospect,  not his fault he's currently trying to keep the score under double figures and Defoe is still the man who could singlehandedly keep their heads above water.

 

They don't rate Pickford.  :serious:

They have picked up on some table about attendances showing that by capacity we are 6th largest, or best attended club in Europe.  Could even be the world but, I would settle for Europe.  They are justifying it by telling each other that the reason our average attendance is ~49k is simply because we have to play more games in a season than they do.  One of the special fella's over there figured out that our, remember, average attendance is 20% higher than it should be because we play 20% more games than they do.

 

Figure that one out if you possibly can....

Read through it all and not one of them has mentioned average attendance :lol:

I don't think the article from the MAG is embarrassing  to be honest, it takes a table that was published showing Europes football teams and their average attendance across the season then, quite rightly, remarks how incredible it is that we achieve such a high rank.

 

The word average is used in the article several times, for any mackems reading that means the total number of seats sold divided by the number of games played.  The simple fact that average is overlooked by a few mackem posters who seem to think that we are on that chart only by virtue of the fact that we play more games over a season is what is really embarrassing, for them anyway!

I read that earlier and had to click off it as I couldn't for the life of me work out what the hell they were on about with their calculations. #mackematics

That bit is cringey as anything, and that's what they're rightfully laughing at. If it was them we'd be creasing.

 

EDIT: We are only on the top chart (in 6th) because of the amount of games we play, there was really no need to include that part into the article, but they went one step further and dedicated the title and sub-title to it.

All you need to know about these lot is that during the nonce's trial when it was evident he really was a nonce, mackems from lads to grown men and teenage girls were walking around mackem land with AJ tops on. True story.

Not sure if serious...

 

Amount of games we play is irrelevant to the average attendance isn't it?  The headline states a fact, in that table we have the 6th highest AVERAGE attendance of all the clubs measured.

From that thread, bottom of first page, the seemingly brain-damaged 'Bear' posits an interesting question. On the latest of many, many, many threads about attendances on rapey to groom....

 

Does any other clubs fans go on about attendances like these dozy bastards ?

 

Had to stop reading there, the combination of bitterness, idiocy and crashing lack of self-awareness started to make me question reality itself.
