Howmanheyman 33282 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I can't see the link our Spurs friend has put on, which is a shame. Perhaps he can explain how a Spurs side who finished 3rd in the league in 1989-90 could only pull in an average, (not one-off), gate of 26,463? Although to be fair, that is still a bit better than the average gate of 25,881 that they got in 1986-87 for finishing third again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I think when this was done before someone mentioned Spurs getting like 10k at home a few times when they had Gazza and Waddle in their side. Argument over. If not just enter ''Newcastle Tottenham Attendance BFITW'' into the search bar at the bottom of the screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2207 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'd be interested to know how many of the 25,000 include people who signed up for the 3 year deal previously so have rolled on another year automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Wasnt it about 6k or something? Im one of the three season people. If I wasnt, I know exactly where Id stand. I would get a season ticket for the next year, however there is no way Id have parted with my money yet. I would not want one penny of my money going into that club while that fucking wanker is involved. Nothing. So, Id be waiting until the last minute before renewing in the hope he'd get his act together and sell the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackies the Lad 0 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I signed up for the 3 year DDR scheme, it has since been cancelled and I have no intention of renewing, even if this lunatic sells, Shearer is appointed manager by the new owners etc, etc. IMO we are in for some even more shit in the short term, next couple of seasons. This period has been one of the worst in the 50 years I have supported NUFC but saying that 25,000 who have renewed is more than credible, it has been much worse in the time I have supported the Toon. The fact that we have sold 25k ST is pretty good considering! The lowest league attendance in recent history was for a league game against Wrexham in the old Second Division in the 1978-79 season. The official attendance for that game was 7,134. Still in the old 2nd Division our average attendance for 80/81 was 16,000 so by these standards to have sold 25,000 ST with all the shit going on is incredible. I will continue to support them, but will be selective and buy a match ticket on the day and hopefully get to a few away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33282 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) I'm getting confused between Howmanheyman and Stevie. Are they one and the same? No, Stevie appears to have taking a shining to my sig and has 'borrowed' it. Your welcome, Stevie. (Then again, I've rifled the funny pics thread on the other general forum so I can talk.)

Again how can I possibly comment on a season that was 20 years ago, I was 4. I don't know the reason why the gates were so low then, it doesnt make sense to me as i've got several videos from that mid eighties era with Villa, Ardilles, Hoddle, Waddle and we were fantastic. I would hazard that the economic situation had some to do with it, Thatcher era... I do take issue with those saying I'm not renewing because its a farce and manager isn't installed and Ashley is in charge BUT preach about how fan fucking tastic it is you have 25,000 true supporters that have signed up for this season. Don't take credit for it, it aint you thats sticking by the club no matter what. Fair weather fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14013 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 As well as Ashley's murder of the club you don't think the current economic situation & no drop in prices has something to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for anyone else on here but I'm not renewing because I'm out of work and I won't give Ashley a cash injection when he won't buy or sell anyone and is looking to bail out. I don't want him taking my money as a leaving present, thanks. I'll still be going to games, money permitting, (I have a wife and two daughters,) so I'll still do my bit, just like I did my bit in the division 2 days, in fact, I'm probably the opposite to a fair weather fan as I was left outside when times were good at SJP, so to be labelled fair weather does make me laugh a bit. I don't know what it is about London, but you really do have a higher percentage of bulls knackers who talk shite as easy as the rest of us breathe.

Tom 14013 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 It isnt what the media shoves down our throats Exactly, not Newcastle fans so don't come here and spout it to get the one up! Fair enough some bell ends may go on about it like tits in youtube videos and some bored people (me) may defend our support to the point of embarrassment but most of the support don't even think twice about it and in real life - in person couldn't give a fuck. It's the same with this big club shite - it's at home on the internet but a lot of people wouldn't even consider talking about it in the real world.
