The act of defiance will be in protest of Alan Pardew and the club's hierarchy, who have overseen a dramatic loss of form since selling Yohan Cabaye in January.
Jason Mellor of the Daily Star: “Given the team's current rate of implosion, even sticking around for an hour might be beyond the call of duty.
"The lack of unity is glaringly evident and mirrors the fractured relationship between manager and fans. There's a clear need for a figurehead at this club to restore some self-respect, organisation and belief. That man is not Alan Pardew."
Rob Lee: "If you can see your club progressing, fine, but they can see no progress whatsoever.
"They can see the club going backwards, the club is shambolic."
