Newcastle fans have been chanting sack the board at home games since i started going in the early 70's

Lord Westwood was the 1st one i remember getting it from the geordie faithful, demonstations when they paid in & had their backs to the pitch

Cant remember who it was in the 80'/90's but the board got the same chants

Then Mike Astley, the saviour arrived, singing in the streets when ge took over from, in their eyes, the incompetent board

You can see a pattern here 😁

Is he any relation to Rick Astley Erimus? Have the horse punchers been rick rolled? Is that what you're trying to say here?

I'm rarely fine mate but I'm always dandy. You can't let your standards slip Erimus. I never leave the house without a properly starched ruff and a top hat. Monocles are optional. I wear mine most of the time but sometimes my left eye plays up so I have to leave it at home on those days. And I never leave the house without ironing the dog first either.

I wouldnt expect anything less of you bumface, top man 👍
 
I remember a thread from the old board about the good folk of Granville Road enjoying summery cans of Stella and greeting the well shod and clod visitor to the region with "Where the fk does he think he's going in that top hat?" from amidst the wheelie bins, and now I know Bumface was the explorer of the district. My mind can rest easy.

True story. I did have to buy a top hat once in my late teens. My goth girlfriend was a bit odd and that's what she demanded for her birthday present so that's what she got. It really didn't suit her. I could carry it off far better than she could. No idea what happened to that hat. No idea what happened to my ex girlfriend either. I might write a bestselling novel about that.
 
I once had a few drinks on the train up from London with Gordon McKeag, who was then the chairman of Newcastle. A lovely guy who spoke honestly about the direction the game was going in.

I think he was also the president of the Football League.
