' They were not always supported well '

I also remember going to Newcastle with Cardiff about 1980 and there home crowd was about 14,000 in the old division 2
Also Newcastle only brought 200 fans to us.

Yes around 150 fans including roy daniels, i can remember there was some kind of infirmary behind the away end in that corner not sure if peter kitchen scored in one of the games. We went in that magpie pub always remember dai ton with his snuff box

It wasn't just them, I think we probably averaged around 8k in those days (early 80s) Another myth is the huge European club from London:

Football was on its knees in the 80s.poor crowds all over country .stadiums falling apart.crowd trouble every week.theres plenty wrong with "modern" but it definitely attracts a much bigger audience.

Newcastle are fekked till Ashley goes. And that's not going to happen anytime soon.
