What would you rather have.
I know it means nothing and nothing will change but would you rather have the club now,Ashley owned and in the Premier League or the Newcastle United of the 1980s. (Forget all about Keegan years as manager in between) What would your reasons for either be ?
Personally give me the 80's over this shìt any day. Granted we were not always in the top flight but the club had identity. It was the fans club. The board was shìte but weren't taking money on the scale of Ashley.
Going to games was full of enjoyment even if football always wasnt. Fans looked out for each other, always had a laugh. I was attending school at the time and matchdays, well put it this way my mind wasnt at school.Players, not all, lived amongst us all on normal streets and most had mortgages. Would have that club back in a heartbeat. Even the smell of pìss from the Gallowgate bogs. Walking up them steps was magic.
