ASHLEY OUT


Protest being arranged for outside St James' Park for 4pm Saturday afternoon before the Liverpool game. If you can make it go and show your feelings. If you cant make it watch sky sports news or ESPN where the game will be shown live.


The protest will take place at 4pm on Saturday.

The aim of the protest is for fans to show appreciation for Chris Hughton and express their anger at the ownership of Mike Ashley. The protest will take place at 4pm outside SJP box office, an hour and a half before new manager Alan Pardew takes charge of his first game against Liverpool.


One of the organisers, Krishan Turner-Dav​e told NUFCfans.co.uk:
"The aim of the protest is to show our appreciation for the work that Chris Hughton did for our club. We also want to show our anger of the disgraceful treatment of Chris Hughton and the direction Ashley is taking the club by appointing Alan Pardew."
"We hope to show Chris Hughton just how grateful we are of what he has done for our football club. We also want to make it clear to Mike Ashley that we will no longer accept his terrible mismanagement of our football club."

He also said that this was a long-term campaign:
"We do not expect overnight success. We hope that all Newcastle fans that disagree with the way Mike Ashley is running our club come and protest in any constructive and peaceful they see fit."
"We think that pressure on Ashley, alongside a nationwide boycott by Newcastle supporters (and football supporters in general) of Sports Direct (Ashley owned) we can force Mike Ashley to reconsider his ownership of the club."
There have also been talks of a mass walkout from fans during the game. However, such plans have not been finalised.


Newcastle fans are angry at the sacking of Chris Hughton and the subsequent appointment of Alan Pardew.

  1. Times like these, I wish I had Sky News. I was reading an article earlier where Steve Wraith, editor of Toon Talk, mentioned this protest...that's the one you contributed to, right?
