The number of season tickets was increased to 9,800; 7000 of them sitting.
United were the fourth best supported club in the country with an average attendance of 33,960 in the League which was about 1,000 up on 1974/75. Top crowd was 43,526 for the visit of then League leaders Ipswich.
The Supporters Club celebrated it's 20th anniversary in 1975 and it's headquarters remained at the Bridge Hotel. They also had a shop at Number 2 St James' Street. They were looking for new headquarters next door to the shop with the cost of taking over the Working Men's club deemed too prohibitive.
Membership remained on a season by season basis, cost 20p and and passed the 5,000 mark for the first time.
When fans arrived at SJP for the Texaco Cup group match against Middlesbrough they were handed leaflets encouraging them to keep their oratory clean. It didn't work too well as there was obscene chanting throughout the game.
The club also printed a list of "dos and don'ts" in the first home programme. The don'ts included running on the pitch, obscene chanting and the more esoteric "don't become involved in crowd hysteria".
When United played Everton at home in April a group of fans hung a sign up on the wall simply stating "WE WANT SUCCESS".
Coach travel was provided to away games with a starting point of Morden Street. They usually returned straight after the game but occasionally (generally for London games) overnight stays were included. They also made use of a 62 seater rail coach for selected games.
There was a dress code for "trippers" which included no "half-mast" trousers, no "unfriendly-looking" boots and no alcohol.
The Magpie Mag (the official yearbook) was available for 20p whilst a new club tie was introduced "of modern design (kipper style)".
ln the club's never ending quest to make life easier for the supporter they introduced their "latest signing": MABUS. It was a five lined taped information service which could handle 20 calls a minute.
Prior to the start of the season the club announced that they would not be installing fences at the moment, but Lord Westwood stated that the fans were effectively on probation for the first few games. "In common with other Football clubs Newcastle united intend to take immediate action to restore the good name of the British football supporter. These people are our enemies and unless we combine to eradicate them they will eventually deprive us of our local sport".
However there was trouble at many Newcastle games; both home and away.
Thirty fans were arrested when trouble erupted before, during and after the Texaco Cup game at Roker Park. Newcastle fans attempted to infiltrate the Fulwell End but were escorted to the Roker End by the Police.
Then just before the start of the game around 200 united supporters marched from the Fulwell to the Roker; headed by a youth wearing "Clockwork Orange" style clothes and eye make-up. As they made their journey they informed tne locals that "we'll fight you on the pitch".
Chances of a "pitch" battle were severely hampered by the recently excavated four foot deep moats at either end. However this did not prevent two supporters getting on the pitch and approaching a couple of the Sunderland players. They attempted to seek refuge in the Clock Stand paddock but were chased out and arrested.
When United went to Turf Moor in November John Tudor needed 12 stitches in a head wound after Burnley supporters had thrown a heavy stone through the window of United's coach. The same day saw United fans causing major damage as they ran amok in Burnley town centre.
There were about 300 police on duty as Forest and United met again (this time in the League Cup) but there was only minor trouble on the terraces resulting in a couple of arrests.
The Tees-Tyne derby was all-ticket, but although a massive police operation prevented major trouble there were still numerous altercations including an incident at the railway station.
