Default 10,000+ Turn Up To Watch Toon Train

Yes, that's more than turned up to a Smog Carling Cup home game last Season, almost as many as did for one of their UEFA Cup matches and about double the average gate for Smog Home game 20 years ago!

Nice idea anyway, and hopefully it could be become a regular feature again, just as in the days of KK, when we averaged 5000 for each training session - day in day out.

Cheers

Oh and I notice in the Smog Fanzine, ComeOnBoro.com (great name ), 20% of fans expect a Top 4 finish, but 24% expect them to be relegated!

10,000 to watch thm train, speaks of loyalty to the masses to me.
I know I'm biased but who cares, Geordie and proud of it.


Just to add I was not here as I was at work for the training session
Also watched todays game on the box then went out for a few drinks or more, they've enough money off me for this season

Sorry guys, I was shopping (in the 8th best party city in the World), and at the largest shopping complex in Europe. We had Dinner afterwards - an excellent restaurant. We had a fine time. Having sampled the delights of both Poole and York, maybe you two should come north and see what a real City's like?

I don't buy Photography Monthly, or any other Photography magazine. I leave that to amateurs like Marc.

Cheers and have a good one!

Poole isn't a city
I'm aware of that Paul; it's very evident when you visit...

As for a North vs South argument; not interested. I'm more than happy for people from the South to stay away, including my Mother in Law. She lives less than an hour from you Paul... Good luck!
