I refuse to pay £15 to watch that game tonight.
The damage that would cause will be huge if the uptake is considerable.
We campaign for Twenty’s Plenty to attend games yet are expected to pay £15 for a behind closed doors affair?
Don’t pay it!
If you’d told me a month ago that we’d have new owners and Eddie Howe would be manager, I’d have been absolutely delighted.
No idea what has happened re Emery, can’t say I care that much. We need someone in, get to January and try and stay up. Worry about the rest next summer.
I’ve been lucky enough to witness Kieran Trippier score a free kick in Moscow in a World Cup Semi-Final and in front of the Gallowgate.
Tonight was special. Turning point.
One to remember today! Hundreds of loyal lads and lasses arriving into London just 5 minutes before kick off, running to the tube, filling it, singing all the way. 100% dedication to make it.
BT and Sky will continue to make things difficult for us, but we always turn up.

Absolutely over the moon for Joelinton. Myself and thousands of others completely wrote him off, and he became one of the many scapegoats throughout the end of the Bruce/Ashley era. He’s proven us all wrong. Absolute beast. HE’S BRAZILIAN🇧🇷
Sky Sports ripping into the officials this morning on Ref Watch.
Far too many of them are completely out of their depth, and clear bias still exists to certain teams/players which has been an issue as long as I can remember.
VAR is a problem, but the officials are way worse.
10 years today since Anzhi Makhachkala away. 0-0, it was -10 degrees, 70 away fans and 6000 overall in a 70,000 seater stadium playing a team who weren’t allowed to play at home.
Conference League would be amazing.
Safe standing section was unreal. The display was class, the match was class. Digital ticketing and the flamethrowers are shite.

Wor Flags has been going since the summer of 2016. There won’t be a Newcastle fan out there that hasn’t seen or heard of the flags by now. Ridiculous that this still happens.
We appreciate mistakes can happen, but unfortunately there are more reports of flags being taken home.
If anyone has taken them, please return them ASAP. Paid for by fans, for fans. Please RT to keep pushing the message.
Thank you 🏴🏳️
This is completely hopeless. If you’ve been watching us for a while, it’s safe to say that relegation no.3 is incoming under Mike Ashley if things stay like this.
This is and was avoidable.
You’re right, Mark. Moving it isn’t straightforward, and shouldn’t even be considered. Fans have purchased trains, buses, and now match tickets for a Saturday 3pm KO.
We are used to being shafted, but this would top the lot if it got moved.
Ronaldo United debut likely be Newcastle game — a 3pm Saturday KO. Great for ticket holding fans, but less so for Sky / BT who would desperately want to show it live. Moving it won’t be straightforward, if it’s even possible..
Added to this, today proved how shambolic our ticketing system is.
It has killed away ends, so many decent people who have propped the away ends up for decades are now locked out.
Scrap the system.
Quite a lot of people around the country complaining at today’s TV line-up before the games.
Hope you enjoyed an 8-0 win. The away end certainly did. What a day.
You don’t need to listen to anyone else when it comes to the takeover. Newcastle fans are getting battered from journalists and fans alike across the country, ignore it.

Newcastle United might have the richest owners in the Premier League, but can they use their owner’s considerable wealth?

What a result. Brighton are a fantastic football team, make no doubt about it, but we’ve absolutely battered them there.
One more to go. This place under the lights ❤️🏴🏳️
Completely missing from this pathetic debate about the linesman in this game.
Pressure from media and fans alike will probably see this linesman heavily punished, yet nothing for Robertson.
There are plenty of refereeing issues at the moment, this episode isn’t one.
Honestly thought we were done, and judged anyone that believed otherwise! It felt like such a Newcastle United thing to happen, takeover and relegation.
What a turnaround. Roll on next season!
Newcastle United are set to play a friendly next Friday night (afternoon in the UK) against Al Ittihad FC.
Understand the match is set to take place in the 27,000-capacity Prince Abdullah Faisal stadium in Jeddah. The game rounds off

’s mid-season trip to Saudi Arabia.
Blues travelling to Old Trafford in January have had to pay 150% above what it would have cost for a Premier League ticket.
Join us in calling for a cap on prices for Cup fixtures and put the interests of supporters first.
Well done
@SouthamptonFC
for keeping tickets at £20 for this. I’d imagine
@NUFC
will do exactly the same.
No doubt Nottingham Forest fans will be facing a £40+ charge at Old Trafford?
That referee had no idea he was giving Gordon a second yellow, convinced he wouldn’t have if he did.
It’s hardly as if he’s booted the ball away, to get the suspension he does now for that is a joke when the consistency with that rule just isn’t there.
So had the game kicked off at 7:30pm, like West Ham v Arsenal is doing, or even 7:45pm, fans stood a good chance of making a train home.
8:15pm. Jesus Christ.
📆 Details have been set for our Carabao Cup fourth round tie against Manchester United at Old Trafford, with the game taking place on Wednesday, 1 November.
Kick-off will be at 8.15pm.
A change that leaves just under an hour to get from KX to Stamford Bridge.
A complete and utter lack of regard for match going fans again and again and again.

Reminded of this being one year ago today. Awful trip, a really low point. One of the quietest car journey’s home, resigned to relegation.
5 days later…
Mark Hughes isn’t the answer. Lee Clark isn’t the answer. We had the answer 18 months ago.
We can’t just accept anyone because it isn’t Bruce. It has to be progressive.
Steve Bruce on transfers... "There wasn’t a lot of money in the budget at all. There wasn’t enough money to buy Joe Willock. We broke all of our transfer rules. There is no money to be had. However, is there a loan deal?"
That’ll do! There will be more games where we have to grind it out. But the chances were there again, a bit of luck with the penalty. We must be safe now?
Richard Masters: “Our clubs talk to their fans all of the time about the decisions they make.
There is a structured dialogue that goes on with the fan groups. It’s part of our rule book and part of our central commitment.”
Newcastle United certainly do NOT follow that rule.
An amazing night marrying the most amazing person, surrounded by a special group of people, with many more loved ones able to watch from home.

Helping fans has been a huge part of my life and I’m thrilled the members have seen fit to vote for me.
“Haven’t lost at home since New Years Day.”
Only won twice. Couldn’t beat Norwich, Burnley, Villa or West Ham (And Oxford).
It’s frightening how many still try and big up what is effectively another nothing season.
