In an underground comedy club this week, a few hundred Newcastle United supporters were split. The source of the discord could yet turn the streets above into a battleground. Leaving St James’ Park is no laughing matter.
Mail Sport was among a panel of journalists at True Faith Live on Tuesday, a sold-out event organised by the popular fanzine.
But sell-outs are the problem. At 52,300, there is not a spare seat to be had at St James’ and tens of thousands more are locked out every week.
What is causing battle lines to be drawn is a survey sent to fans by the club on Monday.
