Ooh lads, we're in the presence of some millennial, university undergrad level political theory here. Go start mouthing off like that about a club legend, on a matchday in the Percy or on the concourse or anywhere else you're likely to encounter working class fans, and you'll be lucky not to get your collar felt bairn.

Talking shit about an old man who's done so much for this club and this region and thinking we're all just going to nod along in agreement while he gets slandered. Not having it. It's usually indicative of some arrested development, adolescent outlook that is basically shared by a small cadre of loudmouthed cretins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a former regular in The Percy, I can confidently say that no collar would be felt for saying that John Hall is a cunt. Not sure where all this working class army ready to spring to defend the honour of a rich old man - who financially supported the govt which shut down working class jobs in the area - comes from other than a complete figment of your imagination. Mind you, in the post-match Toon Disco upstairs in the Percy you’d hardly be able to hear any say anything. And RIP Leo Sayer - Percy legend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should take your soap box to the Clock whilst you're at it. Used to drink in the Garter with my uncle sometimes post match. For several years I drank in the Adelphi pre and post match when Tess Mann ran it. I never had my post graduate analysis in there lead to getting me a slap, either. In all honesty, you just seem desperate to think that casual violence for overhearing people say something negative is par for the course in Newcastle’s less shiny pubs. In two decades drinking in those places I can honestly say I saw less pagga and aggro than in the shit plastic Bigg Market bars of my yoof. Listing ‘hard bars’ in Newcastle and fantasising that a bloke you’ve never met will get beaten up in it for saying that John Hall is a cunt is an interesting use of imaginative thought, even if it is borderline ‘my dad is harder than your dad’ crack.

I had a few ‘routes’ over the years - don’t know how that happens, but groups of mates seem to have regular routes then somehow it all changes. Pre-match it was the Empress - Beehive - Vault - Idols when I first started. Then that changed to Union Rooms - the Pink Lane pubs. Then the Adelphi - Bar Oz - Percy - Three Bulls. And I have no idea when or how the routes changed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to take you up on that though. That isn't my point really. I'm not saying that there is casual violence in some of the more...infamous drinking holes in the city. What I was trying to get at is that I think there's a difference between some of the opinions people have on here, to what most people hear out in town rubbing shoulders with normal people. It's weird because I don't think I'm trying to defend the indefensible - I didn't realize that there was such disdain for him on here (to be fair I'm not on that much) - But I was always of the mind that fans and people of the area respected him for what he did at the club and what he did regenerate the area with the Metro Centre and the like. Perhaps I'm wrong and the majority opinion is now that he's an evil old bloodsucker and must be burned at the steak of public opinion because he was a businessman, who, shock horror, had ties to people who favoured the wealthy. If you want to call him cunt go for it, I'll not be joining in. Cheers. Edited 14 hours ago by Hank Marvin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
