ow Newcastle fans are even turning their backs on the Tyne-Wear derby
Has it come to this? There are still tickets available for the Tyne-Wear derby on Sunday, supposedly the biggest game of the season for Newcastle and Sunderland supporters.[LNB]With both teams far from safe in this season's tight Premier League, you would think north-east bragging rights would be high on the agenda.[LNB] Derby day: But Newcastle fans can't get excited by the prospect of watching Nicky Butt and Kenwyn Jones in action[LNB] HATCHET MAN: Sorry Joe, your never going to get the sympathy vote at Newcastle[LNB]Bad break for Magpies: Cracked bones rule Owen out for six weeks and Barton for ten[LNB]NEWCASTLE UNITED FC NEWS FROM ACROSS THE WEB[LNB]But no, it seems Toon fans won't be rushing to St James' Park at the weekend for the chance to witness another shambolic performance and a rant from manager Joe Kinnear. [LNB]The game is being shown live on Sky Sports 1, so they may prefer to sip a Newkie Brown and moan about owner Mike Ashley and the 'Cockney Mafia' from the comfort of their own homes. And who could blame them?[LNB] Show your support: Newcastle advertise tickets on their website[LNB]Sunderland fans may be less culpable as the Black Cats will be playing away from home and have a three-point cushion over their Tyneside neighbours. [LNB]But, still, it's a poor show if Geordies and Mackems aren't flocking to get seats for the derby match. [LNB] [LNB]
