The people are quality, geordies in general are really funny but thick. (in General that is) Don't know if that's any comparison to Newcastle (Australia) but that's how it is here

Actually only 50,000 geordies have season tickets, the rest just spend their dole money on Newcastle Brown Ale and the weekly ridiculously cheap all-you-can-drink nights

I agree with the last comment, geordies in general are great people but a lot aren't all there! That's what I love about this place though.

One day I plan to visit the Aussie Newcastle ground wearing my strip and all sorts of Newcastle (England) merchandise/banners and start loads of English NUFC chants (we have thousands). I might even take my Newcastle scarf too - now that would look odd in the Australian heat One thing I really want to get my hands on is one of those giant inflatable Newcastle Brown Ale bottles - they rule!

The Aussie Newcastle does have scarves:



Hey I might get an Aussie Toon flag:

Nice! I've learnt a few Aussie Newcastle chants! Many are the same as ours with names changed etc.


We hate Adelaide City,
We hate Melbourne too,
We hate Perth Gory,
But Newcastle we love you!!

If I had the wings of a sparrow,
The dirty black arse of a crow,
I’d fly over Sydney tomorrow,
And shit on the bastards below,
Shit on,
Shit on,
Shit on the bastards below,
Below,
Shit on,
Shit on,
Shit on the bastards below!

---------------------------------

In your Sydney Slums,
In your Sydney Slums,
You look in the dustbin for something to eat,
You find a dead rat and think it’s a treat,
In your Sydney Slums.

----------------------------------

Oh Brisbane,
Oh Brisbane,
What’s it like to have no fans,
What’s it like to have no fans,
Oh, Brisbane,
What’s it like to have no fans

Can you hear Olympic sing?
No, No,
Can you hear Olympic sing?,
No, No,
Can you hear Olympic sing?
I can’t hear a fucking thing,
Woah, Woah, Woah

so its obvious to see that you like newcastle
but to extend your feelings to an australian team is just plain crazy

parramatta leauges is lookin to dis-associate themselves with the power in the near future cause football in australia sucks
turns out my rugby club (parra two blues) is going to fall under their wing which means more money and free health cover for me!!

No stewards, no segregation of fans at NSL matches, haha bring it on you GEORDIES!!!

IF ya ever in Syd head down to Cheers Sports Bar, great atmosphere to watch premier League matches,

while any non-scum fan replies with gary neville shags his brother, mother, father, they're all inbreds, pretty fun.

@dreamdecks I haven't got a season ticket, I can rarely afford to get to the games but it doesn't mention the Aussie Newcastle in any of my match programmes. The most recent I've got it the Spurs game one and I don't recall any mention of it


@Xavier, it is surprising to see you have no segregation of fans and no stewards. Sadly things in Europe have gotten to a stage where they're using every security initiative in the book to prevent deaths. It can be a real pain in the arse too - I recently went to Barcelona for the game and the Newcastle fans had to arrive 3 hours before kick off, even though there were only a few thousand of us (they restricted the tickets, even though thousands of seats were free, bastards) and there were 50,000 of their fans. We also had to wait in the ground an hour after kick off while their fans got away.

Seriously though if I were you I would not taunt the travelling English football fans. It's not about being macho or whatever, if you look at England's track record for hooliganism it would be wise to keep your distance from some fans.

Hooliganism as a culture began in England, and some people are actually flattered that the Russian hooligans who started the Moscow riots during the 2002 World Cup modelled themselves on their British counterparts!

There are well-known terms in Britain such as the Glasgow Kiss (a headbutt), but the Chelsea supporters are pretty notorious, espescially the "Chelsea Headhunters". Have you ever heard of a "Chelsea smile"? If you have a weak stomach I'll spare you the details.

The Milwall fans are generally regarded to be the worst in Britain though, but recently Stoke City have gained increasing notoriety as police have had unprecedented operations to keep their fans from clashing with rivals. The police take every one of their games very seriously, and often hold up trains if they fear Milwall supporters are on them. Trains and train stations are common for football fans in general, and with hundreds of different sets of supporters making their way to the game every week there are often clashes. Yorkshire unfortunately has a lot of small clubs and also has a lot of trains passing through. It is also home to the Leeds supporters who have had their fair share of trouble in the past (two were stabbed to death a couple of years back during a day of riotting as the Leeds' "Service Crew" hooligans walked the streets of downtown Istanbul chanting "I'd rather be a Paki than a Turk"). Subsequent English fans travelling to Istanbul were met at the airport with signs saying 'welcome to hell'. This is the mentality of a lot of it.

Riots are frequently an organised thing. Hooligans often ring each other up and arrange a time and place! Things aren't as bad as they were in the 70s or 80s, there was a bit of a dip apparently in the 90s but it is estimated trouble is escalating again.

The BBC also did a series on hooliganism last year with undercover cameramen. A lot of their info is on here:
