et tu brute Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Not to big up the Mags but they generate a lot more gate receipts but then again they had the 90's helping their fan base. In that 2016/17 season they generated £27m to our £8.9m which equated to £27 per fan per game to our £11. I wonder why that is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) See, I think it could be something as banal as ease of travel by train or whatever back in the day, a generation or two later and it's ingrained, Mam and Dad from Wingate and Hutton Henry, I was born and have been raised in Peterlee but my Dad was a Newcastle fan thankfully. As an aside, there's probably 50 or so go home and away from here and have been greeted on some occasions with "Ah, here's the Makem bus". The "Ashington branch" on the other hand are welcomed with open arms. Anyway, I fancy Wolves. To et tu brute btw.

Wolfcastle Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) You know when they got promoted in 95/96 and football was a lot more popular and everything. Why didn't they have their version of '1992' where we got promoted to 30,000 full houses every game and thousands locked out, instead of averaging 17,000?

I don't think travel comes into it at all, as that is certainly not the reason you go and support a team. You can get public transport to Sunderland via Durham/Darlington. Yes in terms of rail travel it may take longer, but I certainly don't agree (mackem excuse), that you support a team based on travel time.

Doc Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Eh, I agree that choices of support generally come from your parents but travel at the time probably played a part. we are talking pre Dr Beechings here though.

And that if Newcastle had in fact been Sunderland, Newcastle would have been much worse. Since the boot would then be squarely on the other foot, I'd concede.

If I who live in North Shields aren’t allowed to support Newcastle under their rules because it is too far, then how are people from Darlington allowed to support either club? I’ve said it before, they think someone from North Shields shouldn’t support Newcastle because it’s too far and not in the same council area, yet think someone in Spennymoor should have a season ticket for them.

The implication must be that if it wasn't for our influx of fans in the 90s that their support would be better, but only if you include their own 90s influx. Some gibberish like that.
