Premier League manager's match day observation shows how foolish Ashley really was at Newcastle

Graham Potter has admitted that Newcastle United supporters had a 'huge influence' on the Magpies' 2-1 win against Brighton after the Seagulls boss experienced a very different atmosphere at St James' Park for the first time.

Supporters group Wor Flags, who returned to St James' following the club's takeover last October, helped to create another stunning display inside the stadium before a ball was even kicked on Saturday.

Around 20,000 individual foils were left on the seats in the Leazes End and the Gallowgate, which spelt out 'Howay the lads' and 'NUFC' respectively, while fans in the East Stand picked up the flags that have again become a huge part of the match day experience.
