Toon fans arrive to meet players in their hundreds – pictures

Words by Kevin Doocey on


Fans - Would you think these fans suffered relegation this year?

First of all I like for people to ignore the previous article because it seems the sale of the new jerseys has picked up massively today. Earlier it was reported that a mere 3 people showed to get their new away strip, but that was only in the morning. Since then, and after midday the kids and adults of the town created a long queue and waited to get their new, Newcastle United banana jersey, as well having it signed by the four players who took time to sign it for them. Amongst the players were Shola Ameobi, Damien Duff, Andy Carroll, Fabricio Coloccini, Ryan Taylor. It was a rather surprising spectacle for people to see such a turnout when you consider the state we’re in! Credit to these real fans.

The most staggering thing about this kit, as much as people keep saying they hate it, it’s already outsold the home shirt in terms of pre-orders,and that itself a rather astonishing piece of information.

That’s a little good news for day anyway 🙂

Comments welcome 🙂
