Ashley cannot take criticism ... we all know that ... but he is out to suppress the growing rumblings around St James' Park by BANNING banners!
It was interesting to note that the Sir John Hall Stand has returned to the age old name THE LEAZES.
Something normally we would give the Toon owner a pat on the back for.
BUT, it came to light that Ashley made the move because Sir John took a dig at Ashley over his handling of the club.
And you do realize you cannot tell Ashley he is in the wrong, without a backlash.
"Shearer's Bar" is no more, because the GOALden Boy happen to voice an opinion.
On Saturday at the West Ham match, a couple of lads unfolded a banner in the Leazes from the front row proclaiming "Joke Kinnear - The Clown Of The Premier League".
No sooner was it out the bag, then the SS Troops man-handled the banner from them, and something similar happened at the end of the game ... also in the Leazes.
Another banner and another scuffle with stewards. Obviously Ashley has his troops primed and ready for battle.
Ashley disbanded the singing section, and had cameras focused on the areas that prompted the first show of disharmony so he could nip the trouble in the bud.
It seems he has set out a battle plan, and no matter what, he will not tolerate the supporters having a dig at him, Kinnear or Pardew.
So, if things don't improve on and off the pitch, we can either show banners at away games ... or perhaps show a unity and make a certain home match "BANNER DAY" and we all take the buggers!
