Didn't Newcastle have a rennaisance in the 90s but in the late 80s/early 90s their crowds were less than 10k?  I mean they were Birmingham City standard.  We were singing the old "where were you when you were shit" chant at them.

They averaged 17k a few seasons before getting into the top flight the year after football was invented.

And were looking like staying that way until Wor Kev appeared and suddenly more than 10K never missed a game Jawdees suddenly remembered the way to the ground overnight.

Between the Keegan era's things dropped off significantly.
He was like the pied piper.

It still remains one of few towns / cities where near enough everyone supports their local team. Burnley is another of them.

I suppose it helps that there's only one football club in Newcastle though.

They could always support Man Utd or Chelsea. It doesn't stop millions of others.

They don't have so much of a cosmopolitan population in newcastle as many cities do - many pass their love of the toon through the generations - there are quite a few Geordies in the midlands and a lot came down from the colliery villages to work in the mines and stayed.

A lot of Geordie coal miners moved to Staffordshire in the mid Eighties because it was the only place they could get pit work. Littleton pit in Rugely was mostly Geordies at that time.

Many came down to the warwickshire area in the thirties for the mines too including my grandparents.

I travel to Villa from south Northants (Towcester), a round trip of 130 miles, plus tickets, plus parking, programme, a copy of H&V etc etc.  With three wins so far this season and not much more last season, it isn't the matchday experience I was quite offered by the General!!  I once was a season ticket holder and would absolutely consider buying a new one.  But the club is just so unattractive with the crap football and shocking excuses from the most unimaginative Manager that I have seen since Billy McBingo all those years ago.  I will not purchase a season ticket next season.  I live in an area where Man Utd, Liverpool and the two north London clubs are well supported.  Villa just are not taken seriously.  This is most depressing and I want the club to change this image.

[MONCABA]

I'll still renew because what else could I be  doing on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon,  Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday evening? ........oh hang on a minute

[Chris Harte]

I'll renew, although if the fuckers but the prices up after the garbage we've witnessed this season I will be exceptionally annoyed.

I've always thought that that "one city, one club" as some type of arse kissing myth. I work up in that area every 5 weeks, I have lots of clients in the North East. It takes about twenty-odd minutes drive from Newcastle to Sunderland. Even shorter from other so called Geordie strongholds such as the Whitley Bay/Tynemouth area.

Hardly stuck out in the middle of nowhere like, Plymouth or even Norwich.

Geordie propaganda.

How about Burnley then, being as Newcastle doesn't get your approval?
