Newcastle United have quickly condemned what they call the shameful behavior of some of their fans last night, during the second half of the friendly at Darlington.
Newcastle fans last night – not good!
The trouble occurred after Sammy Ameobi had scored Newcastle’s second goal in the 55th minute, and the referee threatened to abdondon the game, before oder was finally restored.
It took Newcastle manager Alan Pardew to make a statement to try to calm the Newcastle fans down.
A statement from the club’s Managing Director, Derek Llambias, earlier today read:
“On behalf of everyone at Newcastle United, we wholly condemn the behavior of a number of our supporters who invaded the pitch during the second half of the club’s friendly against Darlington.”
“The club will be seeking to obtain footage of the disorder from Darlington and the police and will be taking the strongest possible action against those individuals responsible for the shameful behaviour.”
“This behaviour is not typical of the vast majority of our fans, however this incident gives a poor impression of Newcastle United and its loyal supporters.”
This does not give Newcastle United good press, obviously, and now it seems the club will study video of the invasion, in a determined attempt to find out who the perpetraters were.
The club will then take action, which could mean a lifetime ban for those supporters responsible for the trouble last night.
Newcastle finally won the game 2-0, and it was Ben Arfa’s first game in nine months, after recovering from his broken leg.
Newcastle fly off on Sunday to Kansas City, to start their three game American tour.

Comment #48‘If sammie scores we’re on the pitch..’ you can hardly break a promise like that can you?
As for the fighting, it was just one or two idiots, doesn’t reflect badly on a club with 100’s of thousands of supporters. as long as our number of nutters is 1%.
The first pitch invasion was all in good humour, and I’m sure the players enjoyed seeing the passion of the Geordie Nation.
Sammy ameobi, what a player he could be, hope he gets some run out time next season.

Comment #49Was a total embarrassment just a load of daft kids and idiots who couldn’t handle their drink. The fighting was caused when two or three daft kids were being hauled out by stewards and were getting booed so started acting the bigging. This caused about 15 blokes to re-enter the pitch again and cue the fighting.
Well said, I was there and that is how it started. Little fooking divvies, full of skittles and fizzy pop. First away game, or 1st game ever.
Good night of football. Liked the look of HBA and Cabaye, once they gel, we could be good for a strong top 10 finish.

Maybe if you didn’t talk so much bullsh!t on here and abuse people when they questioned your ‘definitely signing gervinho and zog’ you’d have a bit more credibility, but your just the Warris arse of this blog I’m afraid!!
Can I just straighten something out here, the prix fighting last night were NOT Newcastle fans regardless of where they were from!! They are nothing but cowardly scum who wouldn’t throw a punch if they were on they’re own in a pub!! COWARDS

Comment #70The fact that he called his supposed staff idiots is disrespectful whether joking or not!
I have 30 staff working for me, not one an idiot! All excellent at what they do, good percentage probably hate me but comes with the territory, but would never disrespect them calling them idiots!
Kentonmags
You have very short memory, toonruz used to slag anyone who questioned his definite signings predictions and his relationship with his ‘idiot’ friend Alan Thompson! Ime sure Alan would see that as a joke….. 😉
