Jamie, Simon and the rest of the Reuben family deserve a pat on the back.

However, the Toon Army just want to see people who care running their club, rather than someone like Ashley who didn’t connect in any way whatsoever.

Above all, the Reuben family’s actions may save lives this winter, which goes above and beyond anything to do with football.

For now, let’s see what the Newcastle fans on Twitter have been saying about the Chronicle‘s news…
