"That is the biggest away following at St James for a long time, and you didn't disapoint, very loud all through the game, it's just a pity our supporters couldn't match you" - Russell
"Great support today, I was most impressed with the cheeky chants about Souness, and can we play you every week" - Dale
Also, at http://www.newcastle-online.com, they also praised the supporters....
Mansfield Fans - 9 - They came, they saw, and they had a great day out. Very loud, good humoured, well behaved and a real credit to their club and Town. Come back anytime.
