They are an enormous football club given their relative lack of success and their geographical position
Is this the enormous football club that twice lost around 20% of its crowd after relegation to Division 2 in the 80s/90s? In fact, from 1976 to 1981 crowds halved as Newcastle went from 5th in the top division to bottom half in Div 2.

However their crowds since the early 90s have been phenomenal.
