This should be required watching for every football fan in the North East.
Clough and McMenemy are asked if the North East is the “hotbed” of Football. A brief summary;
Mcmenemy and Clough - M and C
Journalists - Js
C & M: Lack of success.
Js - Most passionate Fans.
M - Lack of investment in infrastructure.
Js - Biggest crowds.
C - managerial issues.
Js - passionate fans in (Pubs and Clubs)
C - stadium size
Js - we get the biggest crowds.
M - Gateshead/Darlo/Hartlepool?
Js- they’re all talking about Newc/Sunder
M -asks to talk Logic / political issues / lack of professionalism
Js - board don’t understand fans passion
M - local media don’t cover real issues
With a great little metaphor for not being able to listen.
Js - *interupts* that’s unfair (hahaha ironic)
C - do you genuinely believe this is a hotbed of football with your lack of success?
Js - yes that’s why we get upset, people care more about football here, Column inches.
C - how do you rate yourself against Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham
Js - yes we have better support
Clough - then shuts them down with stats about Villas attendance being way higher and they’re in Division 3, and a whole host other amazing Clough quotes.
The Journalist finishes with Newcastle and Sunderland have the best crowds.
I wonder where I’ve heard all this before! Hahahahaha…
And nothing has changed!
