Last Saturday Newcastle United travelled to Cumbria for a low profile friendly against Carlisle, only to make the headlines for all the wrong reasons in certain parts of the media. After canvassing a number of fans who were at the match, it is clear that there were a number of Newcastle fans who took part in bad taste chants relating to Raoul Moat. This was reported with glee by certain sections of the media but what was almost universally omitted was that this involved only a very small minority of supporters who were instantly shouted down by the majority.
We believe that there is no group of fans who take greater pride in being ambassadors for both their Club and City than those of Newcastle United. NUST condemns the actions of the few but also believes that under the banner of fair reporting the real story should have been how the vast majority shouted down the actions of that very small minority.
Experience tells us that we’ll be waiting a long time for this kind of biased reporting to be retracted but it needs to be put on record the truth of what actually happened.
NUST hope that our Football Club will spring to the defence of its loyal travelling supporters and help uphold the good name of Newcastle United.
