Proud to be a Geordie?

We were once a proud football club and perhaps we still retain some pride because as fans, we are after all, guilty only by association in the case of most of the above issues. Our dedication and loyalty while mocked and pitied by some is respected by many others. Some owners would dream of having a passionate following like ours and players often remark on how special our supporters are. But it’s all gone a bit sour of late and it’s hard to keep your chin up. Whatever the reason and whoever is ultimately to blame, the fans have been left alternatively disenchanted, disillusioned, disenfranchised and disinterested by recent events. Loyal fans who have been season-ticket holders for years even mooting that this may be the final straw and an afternoon in the pub, the Metrocentre or even the garden centre is more appealing.
And yet, in our darkest hour there is light at the end of this long tunnel. There is hope ahead. And while we have hope and blind faith and optimism, we’ll continue to pass on those other attractions because quite simply there’s only really one place to be come Saturdays during the football season and that’s keeping a close eye on all things Newcastle United.
Because despite our misfortune that we chose this particular club or else it chose us, there’s nothing quite like it and we wouldn’t swap it for the world.
well ill always be proud to be a fan of this great club whether were in the champiuons league or championship
people may mock us and as the countrys official joke club i dont blame them it just gives me more determination to see us back in the league
