    Easy for me to say as I'm an expat, but I like to think I'd keep the faith even if the Toon does go down. For me Newcastle United isn't just a football team it's an institution in the north east, I'd hate it to drop out of sight just because of some arseho!e like our current owner chooses to wring every penny out of the club. Surely his time is nearly up !

    Yeah, but if the money dries up or reduces, the attraction for Ashley to stay reduces. I know it would be difficult to stop going but I don't see any other way. Ashleys making money out of the club, and that's fair enough, BUT I hate the fat b.....d and its the only way I know to hurt him, even if its a small amount of hurt. I think that should we go down again, a lot of fans will feel the same way, enough is enough, short term pain for long term gain. Lets hope it doesn't come to that eh!

    It would be a great gesture for the fans to just totally boycott one match, particularly a one on television.

    Sights of empty seats on the box would be a field day for the media and I'm sure for the principle of it many 1,000's would join in.

    last time loads of people cancelled their season tickets - during the protests etc. they all got letters in the summer asking if they would like to reconsider and keep the seat they had blah blah blah.

    that isn't to say he would do that this time though.

    it is difficult and one we have struggled with many a time....... but our hearts always overrule our heads - so far anyway

    I agree toonlegend, our hearts have overruled our heads in the past, god knows mine has, many times. BUT this time I really mean it, if this all goes tits up, then Ashley can go f..k himself. Short term pain for long term gain lads, no other way I'm afraid, unfortunately.
