WHAT PROBLEM? Newcastle fans take up 94% of season ticket renewal

Newcastle United fans remain loyal to the club, despite tension between the Toon Army and owner Mike Ashley.

The Daily Mail says a staggering 94 per cent of Newcastle United season-ticket holders have already opted to renew ahead of the next campaign despite supporter unrest.

The club's fans protested against owner Mike Ashley and manager Alan Pardew during the closing weeks of the season, at least two thousand of them staging a walkout in the second half of their final home match against Cardiff.

But the threat to stay away next year appears to have subsided with only six per cent of current season-ticket holders having not renewed at this early stage.
