    This man is class. I am a founding ATL season ticket holder, so I have seen his end product over the years. Half of me is gutted that he left Atlanta, the other half is thrilled he is coming to my first love, Newcastle. Shook his hand a few years ago before a match, back when Newcastle was terrible. Told him we needed him in Newcastle to sort things out. Clearly it just took a few years.

      Same. I met Bocanegra in 2014 at a bar when they were showing the El Clasico at a Real Madrid bar and they were signing people up for an email group. Fast forward to the opening game against the NY Red Bulls (coached by Jesse Marsch) and the Bobby Dodd stadium was so electric even during a loss. After that game, I became a season ticket holder and will remain so for life.

      Me too! ATL OG and it was Miggy going to Newcastle that I started following them and fell in love with the club and the Geordie nation! So excited to see what Darren brings to Newcastle with his big ideas and creativity. There will be some 🔥 kits and marketing in the near future. Hell also connect the club and the community in a big way. Can’t wait to watch it unfold.

      @@Akirkland24 Wow I didn't think Americans really knew about newcastle united never mind supporting them. I until recently knew very little about Atlanta and i actually thought they had been around for decades but it was quite a shock to find out that you are a new club and I have just seen a picture of your stadium and fuck me its beautiful! I will certainly be keeping an eye on Atlanta in the future and hopefully we cross paths sometime in the future!

      Briefly spoke with him at Atlanta United season ticket holder functions. He was often mingling in the supporters sections prematch. Just FYI Atlanta United season has been riddled with an unusually high amount of injuries this season. 4 out of 5 defenders have been out most of season including USMNT contributor Miles Robinson who IMO could play in the EPL. Our 9 and a few others have been out some of most of the season. It's just been a bat shite crazy amount of injuries.
