The Daily Mail reported last night that Mike Ashley will now take Rafa Benitez and the entire Newcastle squad out for dinner in a bid to ‘build relationships’ following our struggling start to the season – and fan’s response to the news has ended up going viral.
We saw NUFC fans get ‘#ColosParty’ and ‘#YedlinsTeaParty’ trending on Twitter after the players had get togethers in recent years, however the hashtag ‘#AshleyDinnerDate’ has now emerged after news of the NUFC owners plans to take Benitez and the squad out for food this week.
