I think that’ it. Decades of receiving our supporters in your own ground once a season. Seeing and hearing them and thinking ‘Why TF are they so loud, they’re sh*t and won f*ck all ever?’
Some admit it is the best support in the country but most won’t bring themselves to and so resent it instead.

i think we were everyones second favourite because we came from nowhere and had such a fan base!.
We have never been seen as a Liverpool or Man Utd, yet our cold North East club cam from the brink of disaster and romped away with the championship and had a go at the premier league as well.

Thats what our foundations achieved with nowt. Now we have cash, they are ****ting themselves at the inevitable

The epitome of real fans; genuine fans.

We have suffered; in my life time of 40 yrs, I have seen us win nothing. I have enjoyed the entertainers; my first match (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaeiOlYdd4o - just found the highlights) a 4-0 thrashing at Southend.

My grandad reassured me that it wouldn't get any worse. There were equally sh!tty performances haha.

I wasn't bothered, the language, the chants, the humour of the travelling fans had me hooked.

I've sat in the old stands before the Hall/Sheppard regeneration getting lashed with Hail stones whilst watching us taking a drubbing, clogging it about on a SJP quagmire.

I have loved every minute, the freezing toes, the old boy chain smoking roll-ups in front of me, travelling hours and hours, cancelled trains, motorway delays, european nights, laughing so hard beer shot out my nose, sing and shouting until I lost my voice.

What it means to be a Geordie, what it means to be born of this tribe.

Geordie-Saud when two tribes combine to go to war with the rest of the world!

Because of my age I have seen us win trophies,I was a bit young to appreciate the 51 and52 finals but watched us beat Man City in 1955 on a Redifusion shop window.Then there was the Fairs cup win and nothing since.

I don't expect us to start winning trophies straight away but with money behind us we will at least start to compete.

I didn’t want:

Carver
McClaren
kinnear
Bruce

as managers - clearly I’m deluded.

Well it can be argued that none of them can technically be classed as 'Managers' :D

I don't think they'll be too interested in making bank from the gate receipts.
