Newcastle United: Fans respond in gloom to St. James’ Park ‘selling out’ against Everton
According to a report from the Chronicle, Newcastle United have ‘sold out’ St. James’ Park for their match against Everton on the 28th December – with Magpies supporters lamenting the news whilst also discrediting the achievement due to the free half-season ticket initiative.
Have you boycotted SJP under Mike Ashley?
Yes
No
Over a week ago, the club announced they were giving away free half-season tickets in a bid to give something back to the fans whilst potentially filling the ground and recapturing that famous Tyneside atmosphere.
The move prompted mixed feedback from supporters, with a portion of them seemingly jumping at the club’s generosity whilst others saw it as another Mike Ashley scheme.
Now, according to this latest news, the Magpies have ‘sold out’ for their home clash with Everton – mainly due to supporters snapping up 10,000 half-season tickets.
In response, a lot of fans have reacted with gloom to the news – potentially citing this as damaging to the Ashley protests.
Here’s what they had to say on social media.
Can’t believe Mike Ashley now has 52000 supporters

Fans take issue because it’s a bare faced lie. It can’t be ‘sold out’ when 20% of tickets were given away!

Every game would be a sell out if they gave the tickets away for free. 🤦♂️
