The analogy of Dortmund to Fortuna Düsseldorf is more apt.

In terms of potential, Fan base and regional hegemony. Also national and international profile.

Newcastle have a bigger catchment area and as expected have nearly always averaged more fans than us despite us having a great following. Newcastle had ambition and momentum in the crucial early sky years and although they've had their difficulties, they've still been ran much better than Sunderland in the last 25-30 years, at times realising their potential, enjoying champions league football and nearly always being in the top flight. Sunderland have barely even threatened to reach their potential in this time. As a consequence the gap has grown in that time in terms of fanbase and profile.

What is astonishing is the extent that you think this has happened and shows just how deluded and thick you are. Being arrogant and delusional is something that Newcastle fans are well known for outside the north east. As for the comparison you made...

Imagine dortmund losing 6 times a row to fortuna. Imagine dortmund failing to win the lions share of the head to head matches in the entire history of the game against fortuna. They are head and shoulders, far bigger than fortuna. An absolutely crazy comparison

Great post that tbf. The only thing I don't get is there is clearly a big gap between Newcastle and Sunderland in terms of fanbase and profile etc yet the way some people go on here you would think Sunderland are a higher profile club and city

Isn't this the lad that created an account and pretended to be a Sunderland fan for a canny length of time?


My team might be shit and your team might be the greatest of all time. Still doesn't hide the fact that you pretended to support another team on an internet forum to antagonise strangers on the interent that you will never meet.
Fair enough your team is better than ours but you are one of the saddest people that has ever graced this message board. We don't control how shit or good our clubs are doing but we can control how shit or good our lives are and you are clearly living a very shit one.
The majority of people are laughing at you.

Even despite having a “Vichy” ruler of the club for 13 years, Newcastle United still has broad international appeal.

As an international traveller I have observed this.Fundamentally that is down to Kevin Keegan who would be welcome back as a club ambassador once the corridors have been fumigated of the stench of Ashley.

I am afraid you are living in the past. It was sickening to be travelling in South East Asian in the lat 1990's but now you don't even register in any corner of the globe from anyone below their 40's.

If Mike Ashley pulls this off, he is a genius. Selling a club at the price he wants with no match day revenue for months and perhaps never to return to how it was. It is evident what will happen - you will sign a series of mercenaries for top dollar and massive wages, just like Man City did in the early part. The thing that City had going for them was the ability to live in Cheshire, 20/30 mins from a large international airport, with your international team mates very close by. Your real fans will stay as normal blokes but the Post Keegan Revolutionaries, who never goto the game in any case, but watch in the WMC's and spout shite and cliches online, Talksport and the like will be even more unbearable. You will become even more hated than you already are by all other teams. I do a lot of work, with Saudi's, and I am well aware of the situation there. Strategy 2030 needs oil to be way higher than it currently is. The potential IPO of Aramco, which was to bankroll it, is now looking unlikely. It will be interesting to watch it develop of nothing else.....

Love going to the match and have had some amazing times with amazing mates.
Especially the recent derbies and Wembley weekends.
Been all over the world with England, just doesn't compare.
Couldn't give a fuck what you scruffy ***** have been up to if I'm honest, its irrelevant to me.

The players you will attract couldn't care less about that. All they are interested in are £'s!
