Toon Fans Plan Pitch Invasion To Rid the Club Of This 'Cancer'!

Last updated : 13 September 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
This is set to be the biggest demonstrations against the board in Newcastle United's recent history ... and I've seen a few in my lifetime.

Mike Ashley tied to head off the revolt last night when organised a meeting in London with Kevin Keegan, but it came to nothing.

I will be honest with you, it is a reluctant and regrettable last resort, but no-one can blame the fans for trying to shift the biggest 'cancer' to hit us ... probably in the history of the club.

The owner wants the manager to be a puppet ... the fans don't like it!

In the past a sense of loyalty to the team has had a habit of diluting the anger towards those who run it ... but NOT this time!

The fans want Kevin Keegan back ... or they want blood, and they intend to get it.

There are those who feel uneasy about turning a match day into a demonstration, but they understand we MUST stand united.

Keegan's announcement last week that he had been forced to quit as manager because of boardroom interference into transfers has certainly raised the hackles on Tyneside.

While a boycott of club merchandise and refreshments has been almost universally endorsed, mass protests are a trickier proposition.

And so this proposed "sit in" has been kept under wraps ... until now.
