The TV deals are also split in favour of the Old Firm. Not sure what the new one is like, but in the past the Old Firm used to get something like 60% of TV money. The other 10 clubs got a share of the rest. At the start of last season the Old Firm decided they would start charging the other clubs for the sale of away tickets. So for example, when Hearts sent Rangers their allocation for Tynecastle, Rangers would charge Hearts a fee for every ticket sold. This meant that Rangers were getting money for tickets sold at away games. Not sure how it ended, but some clubs like Falkirk were just bumping up the prices of away tickets when Rangers and Celtic visited to cover the new charge. There was outrage from the supporters clubs of the Old Firm who blamed the other clubs, and not their own clubs. Both of the Old Firm in the past have bought some of the best players at other clubs like Riorden and Gow, and just let them rot in the reserves. I dont know if they ever intended playing. They probably just bought them to take away the competition. My point being, theyve tried their best to destroy the competition. Lets not mention the self interest in the formation of the SPL. Rangers and Celtic have dug their own grave. Let them fuckin rot in it!

Has anyone an idea on what they're proposing without waiting for the full details tomorrow. Ive said in the past that I wasn't impressed when I went to a meeting, but it will be interesting to see who's all involved.

'Just right' i should have said.

Thought the ratio between Ashley out, and supporting the team songs were just. Some of the people moaning about the 'Curva Nord' lads are pathetic. Snobs talking about chavs and stuff. Not sure how they expect lads that age to act. Calling them chavs and acting like theyre opinion is worthless is pretty low in my opinion. Quite bitter probably.

Its the least he should be doing. Any normal owner would.

By the way, for the shortfall, which I doubt is £50million. Just another easy round number for Llamblier to say, like the £20mil Ashley puts in, the £100mil Ashley wanted, or the million or so we will pay for players. Anyway, how much have we got back in the last year anyway. We made a transfer profit in January, how much? A massive transfer profit in the Summer, how much? A massive drop in wages during the summer. How much? We can't be that far away. And I doubt our turnover halved anyway. We had a new home top out as well.

Just got an email from my MP thanking me for bring the issue to his attention and he has signed the EDM against the renaming of St James'. So anyone in North Northumberland, Alan Beith has signed it. haha

The protest didn't work last time, and probably made things worse, however thats only because they were that strong, they stopped, everyone believed him and we just sat there as he tried to sell the club. Little did we know he was just waiting for things to die down a bit so he could take the club off the market again. Protests will only work if things are stepped up, people go further, and they last longer. Give him a reason to want to get out as quick as possible. Him and Llambais are just waiting for it to blow over again. If the peak is now, then they know it will only get better. It has to get worse and worse for them.

We will get a totally shit make which can be bought cheap and sold at normal price.

I wonder if the signage will be up by Saturday.

From True Faith. Quite good and I agree. Read that again. In exchange for a big fucking telly they want you to be happy with the name of St. James’ Park being turned into a bad e-mail address. They must think we’re thick. Well, frankly if we swallow this then we are. Jesus Christ. Llambias might have been a little bit more convincing had he said the money was going to be used to buy players to get us back into the PL and keep us in the PL rather than being trousered by his FCB boss. Or being used in a deal to buy those thick Geordies a fucking telly. Not that you can believe a word from anyone in any position of authority at St. James’ Park. Perhaps this latest line is part of their brand of “Public Relations”. Mind, its called lying where I come from but there you go we simple-minded Tyneside folk and our funny little ways about truth, integrity, tradition and heritage. Don’t swallow this latest shite. It has been your action that has flushed Llambias out into the open and which clearly has them rattled. Well done. Keep it up. Keep standing up for St. James’. It really is up to you. No-one else. There’s only us. No-one is going to do our fighting for us. We’re on our own. It was your action which brought out NEXUS to state categorically they would not rename the St James’ Metro Station. It was your action which brought out ADIDAS to state publicly they wanted nothing to do with this garbage of re-branding. It was your action which brought out a detailed statement from the City Council stating their public opposition to this flagrant attempt to denigrate one of Newcastle’s most significant land-marks. It was your action which brought the MP for Tyne Bridge, David Clelland to table an Early Day Motion in the Commons articulating opposition to this re-branding of St. James’ Park. It will be your action which will get your MP to sign that Early Day Motion. It will be your action which will bring out our MEPs to state their public opposition to the attempted re-branding of St. James’ Park. It will be your action at St. James’ Park on Saturday which will signal opposition to this corporate abortion. It will be your action which will deter corporations for having anything to do with this bollocks. We haven’t defeated this attack upon the traditions and heritage of Newcastle United. Yet. If we think we have then we are bigger fools than Ashley/Llambias possibly imagine. They think its alright if they give us a big telly. How cheap do they think we are? The name of St. James’ Park has endured more than 120 years and we’ve never needed a big telly in all of that time. The green rectangular bit with the white lines has done the trick up until now - win, lose or draw. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS CRAP. STAND UP FOR ST. JAMES’. IT’S UP TO YOU! That Is All.

Nah, its the best FM in years.

What would be the point of a protest well away from SJP? A protest should have no effect on the players anyway. Its just a shit excuse by them if they use it. Liverpool didnt seem to do badly after one on Sunday, did they?

Was it not Shepherd who was saying a few years ago to Sky that he would consider selling stadium naming rights, then made a joke about Sky Stadium.

Will firemen and others who do dangerous jobs be given cheap tickets too?

Id like to think i would crack him, even if it did get me lifted. Certainly he would get a load of abuse.

David Craig might as well be Ashleys spokesman! No wonder hes locked up in his Durham office and not on the streets around St James' this morning. Radio Newcastle are basically taking the piss as well.

Ronaldo and Kaka. Then in Feb NUFC: "Well at least we tried"

It wouldnt be a couple of years though. Theres no going back once you go down that route.

Erm no thanks. Weve just sat back and said that too often whilst being screwed. Rather than a boycott though, I would rather see people causing f*** on inside the ground and not accepting the situation. good luck with that, lets see where it gets you/us. nowhere is the answer. remind me again what use the protests and chants have been so far? no use at all. get behind the f***ing team man, we have no choice. its a waste of breath chanting ashley out, he isnt f***ing going man. Erm no thanks. More important things now. are you foreign? whats with the 'erm's'? are you julio geordio? well good luck with your endeavours anyway. but i think your a fool. 'more important things' than getting behind the team? what a mug. I think you're the mug mate. Happy to be f***ed over. Fuckin idiot. I am far from happy, but i'm savvy enough to realise that causing 'f*** on' in the stadium will achive nothing but mid table mediocrity and our only hopes of promotion leaving in january. sadly, people like you are not. For me, theres more important things than promotion. Selling our soul for a faint hope of promotion. I would rather be a Forest or a Leeds with a soul than a Premier League Wigan or Bolton selling rights to everything and being nothing more than a product. Fuck that.

I would rather keep our history and dignity thanks.

Nothing seems to work. Violence might be the only way forward. Can't believe he hasnt been attacked yet.
