    I'd say it was written in consultation with the Jets as a way of trying to entice more numbers through the gates.

    Not like the past Newcastle Football teams before the Jets had the exposure and support the Knights have had.

    He does have a point about the loyalty of the druggos fans

    **** it would be hard to front up and support that tripe 3 years on the trot yet they are still getting good numbers despite also getting the shit times

    What the **** is the excuse for the 4-5000 plastic ****s who have dissappeared since Tinkler Middleby and co had us with 12/13k members ??

    Yeah we been shit too but where the **** are these people??

    He lost me when he called the fans frauds.
    Truth is the decline over the last 3 years (because you can't compare 1 single season as he has) has been experienced by both clubs.

    Average crowd decline 1.8% for Knights and 3.6% for Jets. That's not bad. In fact the Jets middle season saw an increase (Miller sesson) while the knights season had declined.

    The assumption could be made many of the crowd attend both and quite a few are members of both. Or perhaps families simply can't afford the luxury spend of both codes so they choose.

    I commented that the difference between Football and Rugby League supporters is that we don't condone rape, bestiality, and illicit drug use. Where as in Rugby league if a player commits those offences you give them a book deal, a job in the media, and a thousand excuses.

    Top read, would recommend to friends.

    Hes pretty much made the direct link between the Jets not winning a game since Parksey stopped posting on here.

    Hard to argue with the logic.

    Parksey BACK IN

    Saw that - well in Dunster.

    And Plague, I think I have an album somewhere called "Whatever Happened To Parkesy".

    The jets have never been "newcastle's" they were Con's play thing, Tinkler's snot rag and now people are waiting to see what Lee does.

    Add in the media coverage the Nrl gets, and that many in the region who decide how a family budget is spent are like the author and not brought up on the game, and the numbers aren't surprising.

    Compare jets crowds to Nsl crowds from 20years ago, compare knights crowds now to 20 years ago and see which way the trends are going - that's what I'd be interested in/worried about

    Why isn't Parksey posting anymore? Did I miss a massive rage quit or did he slowly fade away?

    think the writer could have mentioned both teams made mass changes to their cattle in the second half, rather than just saying Shitney has no-one out there...
