Ashley Comes Out Of Hiding!

He saw Newcastle for the first time at the Riverside on Sunday, wearing his Toon shirt in the box, when colours are supposedly banned.

And he was refused admission to a Newcastle city nightclub this week — because, once again, he was wearing his black and white shirt!

Ashley went to Blu Bambu in the Bigg Market to celebrate the club's 2-0 win against Barnsley in the Carling Cup on Wednesday but the bouncers refused to let him in.

Ashley is the 25th richest man in Britain, and obviously he has friends in high places.

Mark Johnson, assistant manager of Blu Bambu, recognised him and said he would make an exception.

I tried it last night and got a kick in the balls!

Mark Jones, chairman of Ultimate Leisure, who ownBlu Bambu, said: 'Mike was wearing his black and white shirt for the Carling Cup match and came in after the game with Chris Mort and a few other friends and colleagues. But when they arrived at the door, Mike was told he couldn't come in because we have a strict no-colours policy.'

They bought 150 pints for their fans before leaving at 3am.
