The chances of real historic stadia like Old Trafford or Anfield being renamed are absolutely nil. Because the people who run those clubs don't have a compulsion to treat their supporters like shit for the sheer hell of it.

I'm sure there would have been, but at least back then people could look to the money as a positive.

But it again raises the point about other clubs getting money for naming rights/advertising, while NUFC are seemingly getting nothing.

No doubt mongs everywhere will see this as the wheels coming off at Newcastle, and losing to the best side in the league next weekend will of course prove them right.

Some of us are assuming there might be more to it than a name change, so we're just speculating. In other words, think nothing of it

Is all this shit allowed for the Olympics btw?

Not sure if serious, but that is actually not a bad shout

With 4 weeks between home games there could potentially be another change inside the ground too.

Absolutely furious. No doubt some will be happy enough though as 'they are only seats'.

I don't think it ends with the name change btw. The way journos are going on it sounds a lot bigger. So I'm guessing it's the name change plus other stuff.

The thing that annoys me the most about this is we may never see it called St James' Park ever again. When Ashley eventually does one, what is to stop the new owner promoting his own or another business in the same way?

How did Nixon get on anyway? I missed the bit where they introduced him.

I'm starting to hope that this is all that is coming in the statement.

It is becoming a bit of a wank fest over Ashley like. I don't understand why the media want the fans to come round to Ashley so much.

Think its more than 1 or 2 Mick.

Shearer

Almost a Scottish team

Stoke on a Monday night, fuck sake Taylor man

Tiote screaming at the paint ball

Teeohte

Why are you lot surprised? Not only will it be changed to that name, more SD shite will be plastered over the stadium. The name is a way of justifying all the advertising.

Bump

To be fair, one of them did say he chose supporting Sunderland over his marriage!
