Aye. You'd be right there about me. Not been in ten years. Not since a Fat **** came to take the mickey out of the mugs that keep him in casino tokens. Of course, it's up to you...

Each to their own Neppos.You go,a lot dont.As for saying only 2 or 3 on here have ever set foot in SJP,what a load of shite.
Why people that go to games think they can lord it over those that refuse to line Ashleys pockets baffles me.
You carry on paying to watch the shite he puts out in front of the paying public every week.
You keep dreaming and telling yourself you are some sort of superfan.

It was figurative speech, Markylar. I'm sure everyone who posts on here has been to SJP at least once.
My experiences are that those that go don't try to lord it over anyone, they just go to the game with their mates, simple. No one-upmanship or anything, they just do their thing. If anything, it's those that don't go, or more importantly for this board, those that never went, who try to lord it over those who go, claiming some kind of faux rebellion against Ashley from the comfort of their armchair.
Superfan? Never in a million years compared to some, trust me.

205 miles door to door, thank you Maggie and the Geordie diaspora.
So, yesterday, wandered to the pub where other exiles from both Newcastle and Liverpool gathered to watch the game. Couldn't help but discuss the great meetings back in the Nineties, where we actually competed on an ambition basis. Yesterday's game was a direct result of the Ashley era. We saw one team, playing with enthusiasm, talent and invention overcome an initially organised and fairly determined side who inevitably lost literally because the majority of them were out of their league.
The difference was striking.
It's a dilemma following Newcastle, especially from a distance. On the one hand, you have no choice; it's a question of birth, carrying on from one generation to another. It's also memories of great times and good friends. On the other hand, football is meant to be about entertainment, you know, excitement and enjoyment and ambition: even the ups and the downs. Now, it's hard to get too enthusiastic about 'organised' when that's the best you can hope for. Ah well.

Good reply that Harry.
Neppos is a frustrated old nobody who was outed in a previous incarnation here.
He didn't go to his firat game until he was old enough to be married, he gave that away with a slip of the tongue and never lived it down.
We all know who the real fans are on here, people with time invested in the club.
Neppos isn't and never will be that person.

I miss the matchday experience, by which I really mean the old school matchday experience. A decent drink, maybe a bit more, and meet your mates at the usual spot on the terraces. A good day out but those days are never coming back. It was so different to the modern day premiership "footy" (hate that), but those who never knew it will .................. never know.
I couldn't bring myself to pay in to SJP now. I would feel like part of the problem.

One of the pleasures for me was watching the ground fill up bit by bit. You could tell by about half two what kind of gate it was going to be. Or watching the part where the away fans would be and seeing how many they would fetch up. Little things like that all added to it.
