Superior Acuña Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Just so yous know, if we lose, we'll be the only team to have been runners up three or more times and never won the cup. Champeeonees either way. We currently share the honour of 2 finals and 2 defeats with West Ham, Everton, Bolton, Southampton and the mackems.

Danh1 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) The bloke said in an interview on BBC Newcastle that as soon as the takeover happened he was going to come to games. All those super fans love plastering themselves all over social media, don’t they? Will soften the blow of a defeat knowing this Jonny come lately doylem has spent a fortune to see a loss. EDIT: I’m in no way against international fans, I welcome them and love people overseas having passion for the club, but this is different.

He must have done well in his life because he has enough money to come over fairly often. I think it’s how he’s spending his retirement now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should International fans be seen (begrudgingly) but not heard? Fair play to him, imho, seems fully into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Coincidentally, all of the social media personalities have managed a ticket. If I was a betting man, I'd wager all of the TF lot have been "lucky" too, despite some of them not having season tickets, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hovagod Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) So he decided to start supporting Newcastle when we got taken over by a branch of the Saudi Arabian government and now gets tickets to Wembley? Good thing he’s not a season ticket holder or I would be really mad. Edit- apparently not. Apologies. Hope he enjoys his day Edited February 27 by Hovagod Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I'm sure I saw he's been a fan longer but started coming over after the takeover. Believe his dad is a geordie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhog63 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Seriously find the 'hierarchy of support' thing developing, sad af. So what if someone decides to support the club now we're back in the land of hope? Goes with the territory. All aboard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upwards of 16,000 in the queue when I was on early in the Pot 6 ballot yet conveniently all the usual social media suspects got one of the 800 tickets available.
