Newcastle United supremo Yasir Al-Rumayyan was in attendance at St James’ Park for the pulsating 3-3 draw with Brentford. This was his first appearance since the 3-2 loss against Tottenham Hotspur and once again he was taken aback by the atmosphere. With a pre-match flag display and the message of co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi emblazoned on a banner, it left the board member eager to praise supporters after the match.
Mehrdad Ghodoussi said: “Thank you to all of you for your ROAR. We heard you, the players heard you, the world heard you! We will build and we will win. Thank you to the incredible fight by the squad, we are grateful.”
Before the game the new director had said
Mehrdad Ghodoussi added: “Let’s roar and let the world know, this is our house, this is Newcastle.”
And supporters obliged by working into the small hours and producing a tremendous banner repeating that very message.
