Everyone's own decision and if people choose to go I will not call them mugs but my first game was 67 and for me no more, I think the Perez sale is Ashley saying protest outside my house will suck this up. Just feel totally disconnected.
I'll always go as an when possible. I won't decide not to support the club depending on who owns it at any particular time. I don't work on conditional support.
I don't see anything bad enough happening at this club to warrant me not supporting it.
Still a premier league club regardless of mishaps.
Many fans of many clubs would be more than happy to be in our position.
Any person who chooses to stay away or not support it in any way shape or form can carry on as far as I'm concerned. It's their choice and it affects me in no way at all.
I go and support Newcastle United and will and always have taken the rough with the smooth...and there's been plenty of rough that makes today's set up look like gold, compared...and people think this is rough.
I chose Newcastle United for better for worse and for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part. I didn't require a paper to sign to do this. This is just me.
Take a look at the clubs around you that have been ruined and ask yourself if this club is in ruin or is it running reasonably well without being gung ho in the transfer market.
I don't rely on on person at this club to dictate my allegiance. My allegiance is to the club, not any one person, no matter who it is.
I saw one person say he hasn't supported this club for 11 years because of Ashley. If Ashley stays another 25 years then I'd assume he wouldn't be supporting the club for 36 years and so on and so on.
What's the actual point?
Either support the club or don't.
Many fans support their clubs in non league. Why do they do that?
I see quite a few people mention about how they've supported the club for X amount of years and yet at this point on whilst we're still in the premier league, they decide they can't support Ashley anymore, yet were fine to do it 11 years beforehand, even when very similar things happened and yet we still came through with only scratches.
We also had some exciting times, albeit not at the top of the premier league, except on one occasion when we hit top 5 and a kick in the aris of top 4.
I know people don't value anything I say and that's fine. Feel free to read it or not. That's how I see things and nothing or nobody will stop my support of Newcastle United football club.
All I'll say to anyone thinking about vacating is, feel free...it's 100% your choice but just remember that your attempts at boycotting are cutting your own noses off to spite your own faces, in my honest opinion.
I moan like hell at many things about the club but I also get excited and cheer like hell for the good things.
I'll continue to do that whilst supporting the club.
To finish off, I also think, in my opinion:
Too much reliance has been placed upon recent history before Ashley. People seem to be living on that past as their Newcastle United yardstick, it seems to me.
I also think too many people are getting dragged along on over emotion based on their adherence to any given narrative that paints a bad picture of the owner and his staff verses the perceived idea of a messiah that's somehow saved this club from something. I don't know what that is because I have to be honest and say that Rafa's tenure in the premier league has tested my viewing patience of his set up 80% of the time.
I don't hate the man but I'm 100% glad he's gone.
I think he's very overrated and has shown he has no real integrity by choosing to take on a Chinese club and making out it's the project he was looking for and the money isn't even a reason, supposedly. Pfffffft.
What utter tosh. What utter utter tosh.
If anyone can honestly tell me how a man whose contract expired on 30th June can suddenly know he's got the perfect project at the perfect time, in two days, then I'd love to debate that.
Blah Blah shoite, Blah Blah shoite. I wonder what state we really need to be in before it dawns on you.
We aren't in a state, so nothing needs to dawn on me.Quote:

We can go through them if you want to.
This one is a walk in the park compared.
It might not be ideal for what we all dream of but it's way way better than people think it is, in my opinion.

I cannot even see any point in going on...the club is dying, and nobody is even bothering to put us on life support....
The club is certainly not dying. Far from it.
Knowing mass amounts of people who say they aren't going is one thing but the stadium attendance at the start of the season will show whatever truth is in that.
I have NO doubt the ground will be full for the first home game, despite the way the fans, and Rafa have been treat by this turd of an owner we have. I can see Ashley and Bishop now, looking round at the full stadium, and sniggering to each other, "you see Keith, the stupid northern thickos have fallen for it again,told you there was nothing to worry about, lets have some champers eh" That's why I wont be going!!Quote:
