To paraphrase JFK (no, not that one), fellow Newcastle United fans; Don’t ask what your team can do for you. Ask what you can do for your team.
Yes, tonight’s Champions League is under the lights at St James’ Park.
Our friends from Athletic Bilbao were the visitors this time.
They will certainly bring a lot of passion with them to the end of Level 7 of the Leazes.
It’s up to us as Newcastle United fans to do the same.
We ask our players not to leave anything on the field AND we must do the same on the terraces.
The atmosphere wasn’t bad in the last Champions League match, but I don’t think the atmosphere against Benfica was even close to the high of the Barcelona match (until NUFC lost by two points).
The Portuguese club brought with them a very decent following and they did everything they could to help their team, our Basque friends will certainly do the same.
Once the Wor Flags-inspired build-up begins just before kick-off, we must react accordingly.
We all talked about one day getting Champions League nights at St James’ Park again during the dark, dark days under Mike Ashley.
Just like everything else in life, when an opportunity of something you’ve been desperately hoping for arises, fill your boots!
Bring the necessary energy to the terraces and help these Newcastle United players take another big step towards Champions League glory.
Nine points from four games at the halfway stage of the Champions League Swiss League would be phenomenal.
Take nothing for granted and give it your all tonight.
If you demand that from others, Eddie Howe and his players, then you must do so.
If you have a ticket for tonight’s Athletic Bilbao match, you should see it as a privilege and not an automatic right. You have a duty to everyone who can’t be at St James’ Park to give it your all.
Get in!
