What hillarious figures? That there's 1 million toon fans in this country?? I think that's conservative. Shirt sales is a pretty s*** thing to go off but we sold almost 800,000 shirts in 1997, in this country alone, now maybe only 90% of these are toon fans, but most older toon fans dont even bother with toon tops. There's 1,200,000 people on Tyneside and Northumberland, at least half of these would class themselves as toon fans, as well as the manty thousands in the Borders, Durham and places like Cumbria. Look at this message board, well over half the people on here aren't even from Tyneside.
