Roughly how many NUFC fans do you think there are in the world?

Around 200,000 in Newcastle, 150,000 in Gateshead, 175,000 in County Durham and 175,000 in Northumberland. So 700,000 in the North East of England (based on relative population size of the areas).300,000 elsewhere in the UK. 500,000 (?) off these islands. So 1.5m adults is my guesstimate.

Premier League audiences bounce back

 

Television viewing figures for Premier League matches rose by 5 per cent last season as the top-flight game showed a partial recovery from a slump the previous year. Broadcasting executives believe that the main reasons behind the rise were Manchester United and Liverpool performing better — and Newcastle United’s return to the Premier League....

 

One senior broadcasting executive said the Barb figures only measured a traditional audience and that it needed to reflect the increasing number of viewers using other devices to watch games. The executive said: “When we look back at the season as a whole, the really significant factor affecting the size of TV audiences relates to how Manchester United, and to some extent Liverpool, are performing.

 

“After Leicester had won the title in 2016, neither United nor Liverpool finished in the top four that season and, because expectations were low the following season, it meant viewers did not tune in in such large numbers, especially at the start of the campaign.

 

“Last season the expectations of both teams were higher, they both performed much better in the Premier League and that was reflected in the viewership.

 

“The other factor is Newcastle — when they are involved in a live match, particularly away from St James’ Park, that is reflected in high viewership.”

 

Last season, six of Newcastle’s opening eight matches were screened live and that was reflected in higher viewing figures.

They show a lot of our matches tbf, although the viewing figures show why. They can hate us but they can't deny our pulling power.

They'll just be indifferent. Saying stupid things, getting controversial people on, and rustling our jimmies brings clicks and tweets though.

We are like a car crash, people want to see us because we are more often than not involved in drama and often shoot ourselves in the foot. Sky like it when a club like us is in constant crisis or getting twatted because it usually leads to a crisis.

No one would be bothered about watching a car crash if it was a skoda getting totalled. We are of interest only because we had a premium badge at one point in history so still carry that with us. It's like watching a rusty 1995 VW spluttering along if you want to put it in perspective.

I would if Ashley was driving and it hit a tree rupturing the fuel tank. let him almost wriggle himself free before dropping a lighted match on it.

Paul Baker (our european scout) coached me when i was at Newcastle academy (think it was under 14's), would have been 2003-04 ish, he was a really good coach and i was doing quite well, one game even picked me out afterwards and said everyone should be playing like me  :snod:

 

But then he moved up to coach the 18's or something and our new coach didn't rate me, can't remember his name but he was one of these who picked size and strength over smaller technical players (which i was), got released at the end of the season and that was that.

 

Johnny Godsmark was in my group who went on to play for the reserves.

 

I scored against Sunderland on my birthday :lol:
