Posted '9:44pm bells' Saturday 24th Joon 2017

"THE AMERICAN PRESS AREN'T
THE ONLY ONES SPREADING 'FAKE NEWS'
THE mackems  ARE DOING IT AS WELL!" 

The consortium caalled 'fulwell 73', who were tryin' to take ower
sund'lind (but failed!), have come oot with this ridiculous 'propaganda' statement below!---




'fulwell 73' 'FAKE NEWS' STATEMENT! 


















The fact iz, they ARE the biggest club in the north east---of sund'lind that iz!!!!

However!, regional facts divvint lie and in the 21st century alone, NUFC have been the best supported team for each season!

Last season az a 2nd flight club, playin' the likes of Burton, Rotherham and Barnsleee, we had bigger crowds than the SMBs playin' the likes of Man U, Chelski, Arsenal, and Liverpool in the top flight!

Wor average gates were 51,000 plus--- to there's of 41,000 plus



DON'T BELIEVE US?----THEN SEE THE ATTENDANCE 'FACTS' BELOW FROM THE 1890's TO DATE!

CARRZY IZ FLUSHED DOON THE PAN!

Posted 'high noon bells' Thorsday 22nd Joon 2017

"THE DOORS THATA WAY!"

News reaches 'The Geordie Times' by carrier pigeon (again!) that NUFC cheeef scout Graham 'Carrzy' Carr haz been relieved of hiz position and 'flushed doon the bog' with immediate effect!

Although Carrzy did bring in the likes of Cabaye, Gouffran, Sissoko, Tiote, Cisse, Wijnaldum, Mbemba and Anita--
---He aalso brought us Cabella, Mbiwa, Riviere, Saivet, Marveux, Kuqi <(remember him?), Amalfitano and Doombia (sorry Doumbia!) who were complete flops!--add in Obertan who we 'fink'? he acquired, then hiz tenure az cheeef scout woz very mixed indeed!

The Rafalution iz nuw in full swing (we hope?) and new signings will soon be linin' up with pictures of NUFC scarves above their heeds! (hopefully!)
