Think they've had 2 sub 10000 gates in their post war league history if you care enough. I remember Everton had a 13,000 in the Premier League under Mike Walker. Southampton game I think? Newcastle's attendances are basically unrivalled given the fact they've won nothing in 2 generations.

See. There's as many negative myths as positive. Take 1984 Everton came 7th, and won the FA Cup, the average gate was 19000. A lot of it to do with unemployment. Tyneside wasn't immune to Thatcher neither. The same season 83/84 was Newcastle's only vaguely decent one in the 80s THIRD in...

That's an interesting remark. "All jumped ship upon relegation". In the interests of balance, it's worth considering Newcastle's average gate in the Championship of 44,000 was bigger than any Everton have had since 1970. Would hardly attack their loyalty there tbh.

That would be a good point if you ignored the fact that Newcastle have finished above Everton in 13 of the last 18 seasons.
