It's a myth perpetuated by the media, the same as Man City have the best fans in the country. Well if you want to ignore the facts and just focus on them getting 30,000 in the third division, or clapping the team off when they've gone down, then they have.
The press just got a bit hysterical with the geordies because there was so much hype around them when they came back up, and they were too big to not be in the top flight.

And that's the reason they're taking so many. If they weren't there would've been plenty of room, like there was in Sunderland's home games when they were bottom of the Championship at the start of the season. |

And the same when they were in The Premiership! ok they were fooking awful but their ground was half full for most of the 2nd part of that season. |

The other way round arsenal sold out there tickets in three days max!! How many do Arsenal take to Middlesborough, Blackburn, Bolton? Spurs take more to those games without a doubt. If I had to say who was the bigger club Id say Arsenal. But Spurs' away support is superior. Always stand up now. Rarely see boring school teacher Arsenal fans doing that. Besides Arsenal tried some dodgy shennanigans with those tickets. For a long time they only gave Spurs a league allocation instead of a League cup semi final allocation. That might have complicated matters. I think you are clutching at straws because you know Im right. |

I hate it when the media say a club has 'fantastic' fans, when what they really mean is that they have a larger fan base.
A Newcastle Utd fan is no more fantastic than a Colchester fan. There's just more of 'em!
As I keep telling my missus: "Size isn't everything."

Exactly. I get sick of hearing about Geordie fans 'deserving' success. You take what you're bloody well given when you are a football fan. They don't love their club any more than I love mine and like me, have no God given right to be successful. So they, and perhaps more to the point, the Media, can fuck off as far as I am concerned :wanker: |

They get annoyed over petty little things, and I even once saw a teenage fan gob off at Alan Shearer because he didn't sign his programme. That isn't what i call being a good supporter |

While it's not good to have board members who look down on their fans(don't we know about that one!), it was funny when Shepherd and his mate were caught laughing at their fans for being mugs all buying the shirt  |

Some of you people are so ignorant, I bet none of you have ever been to a Newcastle match, so have absolutely no idea. The 'best supporters in the country' comes from the media, but to question the support is a joke. Won nothing for nearly 40 years and still get home and away attendences like they do, I think it speaks for itselfs. How many other team would get backing like they do having not won anything for a eternity, Man Utd and that is it.
1-4 down in the cup semi-final against Man Ure, still bellowing from the bottom your lungs even though the team have put in no effort - yes afwul football supporters :?
