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!

Washington certainly does have a team, in Northern League Division 2, they play out Nissans Sport Ground I think...
We can forget about Consett doing anything, the Conference has banned 3G and 4G pitches, same would go for Durham, the pitch there was the reason they would not never reach the Conference...I have said who I think could sustain football at a higher level, Spenny for definate, Darlo as well...
Oh well, we can talk all we want about it, but the simple fact is, without a radical shake up from the FA it won't happen
