I agree. We have great fans.
Newcastle has an urban population of 879,996 and an average crowd around 50,000. So 5.7% of the population.
Leicester has an urban population of 508,916 and an average crowd around 30,000. So 5.9% of the population.
When we average 40,000, with the new ground expansion. We will be looking at 7.9% of the population attending.
I know these figures are crude and people attend games from way beyond the urban areas. But it is still interesting to note.
Burnley is remarkable. 181,030 population. Average crowd around 20,000. That's 11% attending.

They may well have the money to "buy the world in January", but if they're still in such a precarious league position in Jan, I think they may have trouble getting quality players to join...Never have a team with No wins in 14 games escaped relegation
….. but then again they can buy the world in January

Quite disrespectful to Gateshead FC of the Vanarama National League North that.Newcastle don't have a competing large fanbase as far as I know. Talking about Tyneside, rather than Tyne and Wear.
Just caught a snippet on TS this morning…. an ex prem player saying it wasn’t somewhere he would have wanted to go as it’s too far north
I would imagine it won't feel as far North when contracts are dangled in front of them.Just caught a snippet on TS this morning…. an ex prem player saying it wasn’t somewhere he would have wanted to go as it’s too far north
