Newcastle has more than 52,000 supporters and I suspect that a lot of them, like you, are utterly sick of the lack of ambition and achievement displayed by the club. As I've argued elsewhere in the thread, there is scope for fans to get behind a Gateshead, a Washington (if they have a team) or even a Consett Town if the ambition is there and success is achieved. Support builds and increases over time.
As I have lifted my hood and showed you my face, I think it's only fair to extend me the same courtesy and show me yours
However, I am prepared to trawl photographs and study video footage to solve the mystery of Andreos 'One' Constantopolous once and for all!
Maybe one day and it may be via a PM too.
Don't want all the riff raff finding out - Citaro and Busman101 may put up 'banned' from our buses photos

The day out was absolutely fantastic, a one I'll certainly remember for decades to come. Everything from climbing into that Skoda Octavia taxi at 5:45am to get to the Int Stadium to coming through the front door incredibly disappointed at about 1:15 this morning. Only downsides were the result and how trashing being stuck on a coach for at least 12 hours is.
The match was a good match. We did dominate the possession, as the figures clearly show. We were very hesitant in front of goal though, Oster and Larkin having many chances to have a dig at goal, but didn't.
But Cambridge do deserve a pat on the back and a well done. I hope they succeed in League 2.
As for Gateshead, we're going up next season, mark my words.
Out of interest Andreos, what coach were you on? I was on Coach 2, one of Compass Royston's Neoplan Tourliners (MT12 NLF).
Coach 19 (was supposed to be 7, but we were told to just get on any).
It was a Roseberry Travel Tourliner - horrible seats, but a powerfully engined coach, which the drivers seemed to have to hold back.
Roseberry's had a Setra there too.
Got back to International Stadium at 12.15.
Posted something early this morning and mentioned it on there I think - body was knackered, but mind wide awake.
The hours nap from Ferrybridge did nowt to help either.
Glad you enjoyed the day though - despite the result.
Did you get many photos?
Our seats were posh and we had to go through the Club Wembley entrance with all the toffs.
The clip of us wandering around the VIP area after a few pints and in our hats purchased from the Del Boy at Woodhall Services must have been a picture.
Was expecting one of the many suited stewards to do a Peggy Mitchell impression and tell us to 'get out - get out of ma pub'.
