Cheeky fan turns off TVs
In a video shared on Twitter by @Luke_Ryan22, the fan repeatedly stands behind a group and uses his own remote to switch the TVs off.
Newcastle were in action against Manchester United. As is common in football stadiums, some fans try to beat the matchday traffic by leaving their seat early and catching the final few seconds in the concourse.
Yet those who chose to do so on Monday were left confused when the TVs were all of a sudden turned off.
“Ah, what the f***’s happened there?,” one fan asks.
While the video, which has been viewed more than 1.2 million times, has caused a lot of laughs, some fans on Twitter are also suggesting that supporters in attendance of matches should remain until the end.
“Well you shouldn’t leave before the end. Support your team always,” one fan wrote.
Another said: “People standing in the concourse whinging the TV has gone off for a game which is literally in the ground they’re standing in… which they also paid money for. What’s the point?”
Indeed, Newcastle fans haven't had much to enjoy this season so you might have expected their fans to witness their impressive performance against Man United in its entirety.
