Northern Monkey Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 People outside your city don't call the club "United" because you're a one team city. Same with Leeds. Many of US don't even call them United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can imagine. My experience of watching Newcastle games on TVs in pubs and bars abroad is that if we're playing Man U or Arsenal or Chelsea, the place will be full of fans of that club, and I'll be the only one rooting for Newcastle. But if we're playing a "smaller" club, everyone will be "supporting the underdog", and we never seem to count as the underdog, so I'll still be the only one rooting for Newcastle.

Makes you pretty much hate all other English clubs after a short while. The exception to that rule is if you are in San Francisco or New York City which both (for some odd reason) have a large Geordie contingent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I'm pondering making a jokey comment about the irony of reading Newcastle fans boasting about how few of you there are rather than how many for a change, but I think it might set Stevie off, so I'll desist.

Yeah, last time I was in New York was in October 2000, not long after a League Cup game against Leyton Orient, which I'd been at. Me and one of the others I was with checked in to our Midtown hotel, and then nipped out for a beer in one of those Irish bars on 44th Street, or thereabouts. And I'm sitting in this place, telling my friend a story about something that had happened at the Orient game, and a guy a couple of tables away shouts out: "Hey, I was at that game too!" A Geordie (of Pakistani descent) who lived in NYC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are comparatively few overseas - comapred to various red shirted scum and Chelsea. Even fewer Villa fans. Although admittedly THE best pub to watch football in the US is owned by a Villan.

OzzieMandias Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I never found a single other Mag in Lisbon – and I would have spotted any, as there was only one Sky pub there at that time. (In Cascais, 40 minutes on the train from the city centre.) I spent some time in Budapest, where there was one lad from Morpeth. But, strangely, there was a bunch of lads from Szekesfehervar (Hungary's equivalent of Swindon) who turned up to watch the Arsenal FA Cup Final in full replica kit. They didn't speak a word of English but did manage a mangled version of "Toon! Toon! Black and white army!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye the Mad Dog - quality place. Shame if he's sold out. He posts on one of our boards. Sure I remember him saying there that he had sold up. This was a while back. Mate of mine (Villa fan) walked in there to find the entire first team squad and the newly signed Stan Collymore there having drinks whilst on a US pre season tour.

johnnypd Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 never met one newcastle fan in california, though i did meet a rabid alan shearer fan who spent her life savings on going to his testimonial. have seen quite a few newcastle shirts in LAX airport though. not abroad obviously but london is full of geordies who have moved away for work. my uncle (scouser) says whereever he travels on his business he ends up bumping into geordies and scousers, his boss is from Gateshead for instance.

A friend of mine was telling me the other day that they did a straw poll in his office (software developers in Birmingham) of the club with the most supporters in the office, and Legia Warsaw were second, they've got so many Polish programmers working there.

The Danish Red Shite are my favourites. Although a pub i drink in up here is good - a management team of RS, and not a scouse accent to be heard.

Barley Mow is a good one, when a big toon match is on it's absolutely heaving. There used to be another good place, in Covent Garden. I can't remember its name (had the word "green" in it) and it closed down shortly after I discovered it, but I had a really funny night there watching some cup game against Blackburn. The whole place singing "Geordie Boot Boys" and mocking a handful of Blackburn fans, one of whom got so wound up he went a bit mental and had to be pacified by the bar staff.
