Also, from a personal perspective. I don't like NUFC fans being represented by a rich, private school educated Tory. Rightly or wrongly that's just how i feel and that whole "We're f***ing class" stuff feels so disingenuous it's not even funny. Expand I don't know enough about him to know if he's a grifter, but I imagine there's plenty of privately educated or well to do Newcastle fans out there. That doesn't make them any less passionate fans of the club. Is he a member of UKIP or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likelylad Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Maybe i'm a hypocrite as I've got mates who vote Tory and support Newcastle but they're not front and centre of everything nufc. I've heard stuff about him and the True Faith lot that doesn't lead me to think they're good people etc. The way he came back to NUST unopposed once the takeover went through. Tbh, It's amalgamation of everything together that's led to my dislike. Edited August 25, 2023 by Likelylad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I mean I know this stuff is all relative, but I can’t imagine owning a Blyth based taxi business is really that lucrative in the grand scheme of things.
