Blackburn have had a streaky season, unbeaten in their first 7, then 1 win in 7, but won tonight and have strung 5 wins in a row, including against Leeds and Boro. 3 behind Sunderland with a game in hand, they face each other at Ewood on Boxing Day.

I may rib safc, and the falsifying attendances does bring a slight titter when you see it against the backdrop of their sparsely filled ground.

 

But I still think that is a healthy attendance when taken in isolation. Their mouth breathing fans just make it an easy target when they bring up the north sea and Nissan and weather bombs and late shopping at the bridges.

And the dead. Don't forget the dead.

Bad transport connections to the Durham pit villages is their latest excuse for the midweek no shows.

 

You'd think with all these "branches" they have they would consider running buses to enable all these MLFs to go along to support their team.

The branch thing is odd. Not really a thing for us - I mean for away games people go with Fez, or Simon or John A like they used to with Keith B or Swifty but for places relatively close we don’t (to my knowledge) have branches from Woolsington or cramlington etc? Or do we ?

One thing I did notice after the Liverpool match we exited out of the Milburn Stand and onto Barrack Road and headed down towards the town from that way and there a canny few buses lined up along there all with NUFC fans on.  We never leave via Barrack Road so that's the first time I've noticed this but it it surprised me how many of our fans travel by organised coaches to home games from other parts of the NE.

The turn out looks pathetic in the highlights, we get more numbers for some of our women's games.

 

Looked similar to their crowd on Saturday. Around 20k, definitely not as much as 50% filled and from a photo I seen on Twitter from the away end their Upper tier that they closed down for years was near enough deserted.

That not the park and ride thing back to Metrocentre?

There’s definitely a Carlisle NUFC supporters bus that parks up there every game.
 

Tbh there’s buses from all over but we don’t seem to have the same obsession with identifying as a ‘branch’.
