That will be for the 'authentic' kit. Standard replica kit will be the same as other clubs. Man Uniteds 'authentic' kit is £183 for the full kit. SD haven't even got the new Geordies kit for sale yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right in terms of fan base growth potential. But with that fan base they have massively under achieved for years, possibly decades. chris182 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle city population is 295k and urban 879k in comparison to Leeds city 784k and 1.9m urban. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd you equate that? It's not as if the populations and and size of the city are vastly different, though the Geordies have the whole Northumberland and Gateshead south of Newcastle Upon Tyne. Leeds complete for supporters with the other Yorkshire clubs, which there are several. Leeds are a huge club by the way, I'm not disputing that, but I think Newcastle have much bigger potential and I reckon because Leeds have been a second and third their side since 2004, Newcastle are more widely known.

The city of Leeds population is literally nearly 3 times the size of Newcastle Nah Leeds are potentially a much bigger and stronger than Newcastle can ever aspire to be imo. There are other teams in the NE aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think the it's in Newcastle's favor as they're a one city team with the majority of the northeast their catchment area, and a large part of Cumbria. Some of the border areas of Scotland may be Newcastle territory as they're the closest Premier League team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure that just because they are a premier leagie team that gives them the upper hand in gaining support from surrounding areas too, like if folk supported Sunderland/Middesborough all there days they woukd start supporting Newcastle just because they are in the premier league. Newcastle are a good sized club, no denying that but i think they have maxed out their potential when Keegan was manager and they almost won the league.

See my argument against Leeds who are massive, is that Yorkshire is populated with several clubs, two of them also giants in their own right. You may be right with your Keegan argument, though.

Also a lot of interest in Rugby league in Yorkshire too i think but i just think the potential of Leeds is so much more than Newcastle, a lot of their fans have delusions of grandeur and think they are bigger than they are. Passionate fans all the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
