They’ve already won as many trophies as Kevin Keenan’s all-conquering side!

I was talking to a north-east reporter once who outright didn't believe I'd been in a crowd of 18,000 there.

Didn't they once bring 12 (twelve) away fans to VP?

In 1978. The players paid for their minibus.

Not defending them, but here is the point. NUFC are currently owned by NotMikeAshley. After years of not being owned by NotMikeAshley and the misery that clearly caused, the fans are beyond delighted to be owned, at any level will do, by NotMikeAshley

Nice piece, Dave. Love the first line of the second paragraph in particular. Made me 'lol', as the kids don't say.
