# These Newcastle fans react to Simon Jordan’s attendance comments

Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has hit out at Newcastle fans for boycotting games in spite of Mike Ashley.

### READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT

Newcastle have had a fairly poor start to the Premier League season, with four points and just four goals scored after six games they sit 17th in the table.

Steve Bruce has yet to get the best out of big-money signings Miguel Almiron and Joelinton, with the pair managing one goal and zero assists between them in all competitions so far this season.

Newcastle recorded their lowest attendance in 10 years against Brighton, which shows that fans are starting to lose interest and are becoming disillusioned with the club.
