"The Club has noted the Channel 4 'Dispatches' programme aired tonight (Monday, 27th April) and in particular the reference to the terms of the retail relationship between the Club and Sports Direct. "The Club is extremely disappointed no-one from Channel 4 contacted the Club for comment. "The information broadcast is wholly inaccurate and the Club will provide further information and clarification tomorrow (Tuesday, 28th April)."Magpies supporters protested against Ashley's ownership during the 3-2 home defeat to Swansea City on Monday - as well as joining Rangers fans in standing outside Sports Direct shops and "boycotting" buying products from the retail shop.
