Newcastle fans have always had around 50k for League games though. When i was a kid it used to be hard to get tickets for home games because they would always sell out, i seem to remember on sky sports that a game against Blackburn was the first time we didn't sell out for a number of years, i think it was around the souness era. people can't challenge Newcastle fans' loyalty to the club, because its one of the strongest out there.lo36789 wrote:http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19922635
This probably helps.
He's a horrible man that Ashley with his cheap ticket prices.

I wouldn't say hounding the clubs saviour to a point where he wants to sell the club a particularly strong show of loyalty. Certainly not supporting the clubs best interests.

Re: Joe Kinnear LMFAO
Of course we can! Maybe it was before your time but I've been to St James on a number of occasions when you could just turn up at the gate and get in. Crowds of around 15000 even before capacities were reduced due to Bradford etc, at a time when they were in the old 1st Division, with the likes of Gazza, Roeder, Goddard and Beardsley in the side, plus it was under a fiver to get in!!!! Where were the other 20000 plus "loyal" Geordies then? They only started turning up when Hall started throwing the cash around, which he knew he would get back plus interest as well!! Then a man turns up to run the club on a budget and all the "loyal" Geordies turn on him for not throwing even more cash around.cameron-darlo wrote: people can't challenge Newcastle fans' loyalty to the club, because its one of the strongest out there.

Well I guess that must mean that Manchester United fans are the 2nd most loyal in Europe and that Manchester City fans are wow the 14th most loyal because of their attendances.cameron-darlo wrote:10th highest average attendance in Europe last season despite nearly getting relegated says it all.

If Crawley were relegation fodder in the Premier League, had a 200,000 capacity stadium, gave away free tickets then would they have the most loyal fans in the country? Because I tell you they would probably fill the thing.

Re: Joe Kinnear LMFAO
This transfer window is pretty much proving my point. 25 days until the new season starts and we've still signed no one. we've got a 'main' striker who hasn't kicked a ball this pre season because of a stupid Wonga row. then we've got Shola and Campbell.
27 days until we play Man City and we've still got the same crop of shite from last season with no new additions and decent squad players have left.
Its okay though, the finances are on top form and Ashley is doing a fantastic job.

Re: Joe Kinnear LMFAO
Jesus christ. we can afford it, that's the point. we're barely existing as a football club, we're more like a business. Every football club should have some ambition, we have absolutely none. Teams around us are strengthening and we're not. The money IS there to invest, Ashley just won't.Spyman wrote:What will keep your club in existence?

Re: Joe Kinnear LMFAO
I'll just throw a quick question out there... would you be happy if Darlo were just existing, only just surviving relegation, despite having a healthy bank balance to kick on and show a little ambition?
its massive wages that tend to kill football clubs, not one off transfer fee's when the clubs are making profit, its about finding the right balance. Newcastle have found the right balance with the Wage cap. a couple of quality £10-15 Million players wouldn't put us at financial risk with the wage cap in place considering we've already got players off the wage bill this summer.

Re: Joe Kinnear LMFAO
I want Darlington to play at the highest level they can reach by living within their means. If that means getting to a point where because of limited income we were fighting relegation year after year, so be it. I wouldn't want the club's long term future to be put at risk for a bit of short term glory.
Mike Ashley has been very clear in that the club was not sustainable, and he has worked hard to make it sustainable. Over the last few years the club has been hugely successful at signing good players for reasonable prices and selling them on at profit to allow the club to thrive. I don't see why you think throwing millions of pounds around will make a difference - surely as a Newcastle fan, even a relatively new one, you can see that this is no gaurantee of success?

Cameron, if it was your money running a club would you listen to a lot of deluded fat tattooed lobotomised jocks telling you how to spend your money?

Re: Joe Kinnear LMFAO
I love how you state it's not huge transfer fee's that kill clubs but huge wages..
The two generally come hand in hand in the premier league, mate.
I'm not surprised Ashley is fed up!
I agree that people like Joke In Here aren't inspiring confidence at the moment, but throwing money around is hardly going to remedy that is it? You could end up with a heap of shite handcuffed to you with high wages and long contracts.
Ashley hates you as much as you hate him remember, twice trying to get rid of the club, but no fucker wanted it. I wonder why.
Is Gouffran not a striker anymore btw?

Re: Joe Kinnear LMFAO
An expensive transfer is no guarantee of success anyways as players can be overvalued, whilst others are undervalued. I would prefer it if my chairman was looking for hidden gems who cost less than big names who quite often fail to live up to their billing (usually because they're bought for more than they're worth).
Of course, I'm sure you'd blame Ashley whatever the outcome.

Gouffran was played out wide last season which is why i haven't included him as a striker. But the word is Pardew is looking at playing him more central this season with 2 up front, if that's the case then we still need at least 1 striker.
Re: Joe Kinnear LMFAO
But you have 4?
Gouffran, Cisse, Ameobi and Campbell.
If you get an injury to either of the first 2 I reckon you will end up going 4-5-1 wih a 3 man CM of Cabaye, Sissoko & Tiote. Then have Ben Arfa and Gutierrez as your wingers.
That said. If I was Newcastle I would be trying to get Darren Bent on the cheap if possible. Villa don't want him and his wages must be killing them. With it being a World Cup year you might be able to pull his wage demands down a bit.
Again saying that...you have no idea what enquiries Newcastle have been making for players. What's to say wage/transfer fee demands have been extortionate. I think the Michael Owen debacle and the rest was the last over expensive ride Ashley wants to be taken on!

4-5-1 doesn't work with us though, Our loan striker always gets isolated because of a lack of service, i hope players like Tiote & Cabaye (if he's still here) step up this season, because if not, its going to be another season from hell. we're pretty heavy in CM though with Anita and Bigirimana more than capable of stepping up, that's the only position apart from GK i'm comfortable with.
A lot of players need to prove themselves this season, and with it being a World Cup year as you say, i hope they do..... You just never know with Newcastle!
