Something Should Be Done About Hull's Allocation!

Last updated : 30 November 2016 By Footy Mad - Editor

Why were Hull City allowed to just give us 2,474 tickets for that match last night?

I thought a club was forced to give up more tickets for a cup tie, but the Tigers obviously got round that, and would rather have 9,000 empty seats!

Officially there were 2,400 Newcastle fans inside the KCOM Stadium last night, but I wasn't the only Gerordie sat in the East Stand.

Toon fans were everywhere! Making it a delicate situation when Newcastle scored.

The quarter-final tie attracted a crowd of just 16,243, despite ticket prices starting at just £9.

Hull turned down United's request for a bigger ticket allocation.

Unquestionably, Newcastle could easily have taken twice as many fans.

But with Hull's idea to not sell sickets to anyone with a North-East postcode, and refuse to use a pick-up point on match day, they tried to freeze out the Toon Army.

They got away with it, as there was no trouble, but it would have been THEIR fault if there was!

The Toon's Greatest 100 Players. . .Ever! - £10.99

Available from Amazon and Kindle: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Toons-Greatest-100-Players-Ever/dp/132629685X

Or contact: Kevnumad@fsmail.net for a signed copy.

This book is a collection of the 100 Greatest Newcastle United players of all time, as voted for by NewcastleUtd-Mad.co.uk readers and a panel of journalists who contribute to the website.

The players are in an order of five-per-chapter, counting down from 100 to Newcastle United's greatest ever player (as viewed by the author), but the whole point of the book is for You (the reader) to decide who goes where.

The list is not, by any means, definitive. As with all books of this nature, whether it be "Greatest Albums"; "Best Movies Of All Time"; or "Top 100 Pin-Ups Of The Year" . . . no two people have exactly the same opinion.

There will be controversy over who is on the list, and chances are, more controversy over who is not.

Here are the best of the best. I have painted the picture with each player's profile. Where they end up in the league of Nufc's Greatest is up to you.

Because You have the final word.
