Guest TheOrder Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 the American/Canadian mags who were infront of me at the box office today. So excited, and simply awestruck at SJP, they had an awful game, and an awful atmosphere as memories to take home with them. It's not easy for the regulars to get over dissapointment, but when you've spent so much time travelling, and so much money just on the flights, NUFC really did take the piss. We should all get a fucking refund Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I travelled over to the Fulham game in September, travelling all day just to see that shower of s***, i was devasted, awful return journey and to make matters worse i was in Burger King in the airport and had to sit beside the Fulham players and coaching staff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 If you are fuking dumb enough to be from North America and still support this shower of shite then you deserve to taste the crap served up at SJP when you make the stupidly long trip over. What do they expect? A decent team playing decent football? Wrong club, go support a team with a decent board and a qualified manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gemmill Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Refunds. Price rises more likely. What's funny is this move to the credit card ticket system. In a year when season ticket sales are destined to plummet, fuckwit decides to shell out on a new system that will prevent people from selling on matches on their tickets. Good idea Fred - for anyone for whom getting a ticket was a marginal decision, you've just helped them make their minds up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 funny isnt.... we have no choice but to support this rabble, yet people from ALL over the world, pick NUFC as their club, even though weve won jack, and will never win nowt! Proper supporters, dont jump on the Manure/Arse/Chelski bandwagon. Personally i remember in Helsinki in 2002 there were a good 50 Nufc fans at a sports bar every weekend to watch the game, about 40 Manure fans, 30 Arse, 20 Spurs, 10 B'burn... Now the 50 NUFC fans still exist, but theres 70-100 chelski fans and a bar called 'Chelsea Pub'. Probably rename it to Man Utd Pub in the summer...

There's an argument that "come from" is a generational thing - but if i moved to Birmingham (as if), had kids, and THEY stayed there, had kids etc, i wouldn't expect my grandkids to be NUFC fans. If you are a brummie (which my grandkids would be) you should support a Birmingham team, in my opinion. You shouldn't necessarily be forced into supporting a team other than that of where you 'come from'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewellander Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I'm a Canadian. My grandparents immigrated from South Sheilds, but my ancesters also lived in Boro and Sunderland. I could have chosen any of those teams, but I chose Newcastle because I thought it was the team with the best fans. In a way, it disappoints me to see fans turning on the team, but I do understand why. I'll come and see them at SJP some day, and regardless of whether they win, lose or draw, it will still be a great memory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a good bunch of 50+ fans who hang out at our own message board and meet up regularly to watch games. Most of us have never even been to Newcastle, but for various reasons it's become our adopted club. (We've all got domestic clubs we support as well if you want to get picky about it) A lot of us have been through all the highs and lows of recent years, but never once have I seen somebody suggest that they couldn't be bothered to support NUFC anymore. Something about this club just brings out unreasonable devotion in people. Personally, I'm sitting in my room right now waiting for the 6 hour coach back to London which will be followed by a 7 hour flight back to Boston (where I reside at the moment). I flew 6000 miles to see possibly the worst match ever, and yet I still plan to come back. No idea why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
