For Newcastle United followers, that is now the largest problem of all.
No, I’m not speaking about successful the Premier League.
Although United will go prime, not less than quickly, if successful at this time in West London.
I’m in fact speaking about entering into matches, the battle for Newcastle United followers to get tickets now.
Everyone knows how tough, close to not possible, that is at St James’ Park.
Nonetheless, I’m not speaking about that, not this time anyway.
Final weekend at Molineux, the Newcastle United followers on the recreation, in addition to these watching on TV, noticed so many empty seats.
Wolves followers blaming this on the homeowners, the state of the membership, the standard of soccer, the raised ticket costs and so forth.
I’ve a certain quantity of sympathy for them BUT not a patch on how I really feel for the Newcastle United followers so determined to look at their group. So many empty seats and so many NUFC supporters who would like to have stuffed them, regardless of the value.
Seven days on, subsequent match, subsequent away recreation.
Solely 2,300 official Newcastle United away followers.
But what is going to they see?
Effectively I had been studying stuff this week and similar to what Wolves followers had mentioned within the lead as much as final Sunday’s match at Molineux.
On Saturday morning this sums up what Newcastle United followers can anticipate to see at Craven Cottage at this time…
Tickets in house areas on normal sale the day earlier than the sport. Advert in Metro paper in London at this time. Membership have priced out it’s personal followers and now can’t promote out – regardless of all assurances from the Membership floor can be peppered with away followers @WhiteNoise1879 @FulhamSuppTrust pic.twitter.com/L4gFEAERu7

Sure, masses extra empty seats that so many Newcastle United followers would have cherished to fill!
Sure there can be loads of Newcastle United followers who can have discovered their manner by some means into the house sections, at a minimal of £71 per grownup ticket! In comparison with the £30 most that’s allowed for official away followers within the Premier League.
Nonetheless, it’s nonetheless difficult to get these and also you wanted (as I perceive it) a earlier buy document AND I’ve heard in latest days of numerous (supposed!) Newcastle United followers getting their funds returned and tickets taken off them as they’re suspected NUFC supporters!
My guess is that some jobsworth has gone via the earlier reserving historical past and anyone who has purchased tickets for at this time and up to now has solely purchased Fulham v Newcastle tickets, can be these probably focused.
Anyway, how unhappy is it that at the present time, Premier League golf equipment are permitting so many empty seats that might have been stuffed by away followers so keen and determined to pay for these unsold seats?
Fulham was once sensible. I’m certain we used to get greater than the now 2,300 allocation AND there was the ‘impartial’ part subsequent to the official Newcastle United followers, the place Fulham actively inspired non-Fulham followers to fill 1000’s of seats. Which in actuality merely turned simply an prolonged away finish when golf equipment like NUFC had been visiting.
The greed of the Fulham homeowners now that means at this time there can be so many empty seats that aren’t stuffed by both Fulham followers or Newcastle United followers, or certainly these neutrals/vacationers of the previous.
