Blackburn v Newcastle

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

True, but United have had average attendances over 50k and Liverpool over 40k as far back as the 1940s... I'm not sure the 'glory hunter' trend was really a thing then. So with or without glory hunters they'd have a huge following. So your initial point is a bit irrelevant.

They had SOME attendances over 50 and 40 k

But so did Newcastle

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.

Keegan (twice) certainly had a hand in their crowd revival. Their crowds certainly dipped in the Keeganless years between his time as a player, then manager. 16,000 average in 90/91.

They are great fans, and enjoy a few pints and a game black and white everywhere you go!
