  Angry Newcastle United Fans Reaction To Latest Defeat

  This article shares some of the reaction we have had on The UTD111 Forum to the latest dismal show against Leicester.

  Yesterday, Newcastle United made around 10,000 “half” extra season tickets available to existing season ticket holders on a first come, first served basis.

The tickets were quickly snapped up and enable the new holders to watch every home game remaining this season, from Everton on 28th December for nothing. The decision to offer the free tickets seems to have come following a relatively poor (for United, anyway) crowd […]
