Yeah, at home I always look for a foreign channel now. Hope the pubs just keep the sound off until kick off.

Same but in a bad way

Obvious ones: Home Newcastle - Busker Theme from Local Hero - Knopfler Big River - Jimmy Nail They’re really the only ones I listen to. Blaydon Races I guess, but don’t have a go-to version. Maybe some Lindesfarne - Fog on the Tyne and Meet Me on the Corner.

Not just, but I'd say it's very important.

We can only assume they're not capping it at 65k though, since they know everything you just posted. I've said before that I personally think it's too small. But if they bake in easy expansion then maybe OK. Also it hasn't been announced what the capacity is going to be. In fact nothing's been announced

How is it enforced?

Has Henderson not been captaining Ajax?

Kind of, for a game or two. TBH I’m assuming this squad is fairly experimental so he can have a look at some people.

Squad looks very underwhelming to me, definitely lacking elite level players. Not sure who else should be going though.

Between a D and E for me on Murphy. Squad option, but not a ‘good’ squad option. And ‘not good enough’ for the PL definitely applies for me. He’s technically very poor and gives the ball away for fun. That said, he’s somehow made himself useful to us and deserves a lot of credit for that. He’s also super fit and a great pro. Overall went D to be positive.

I personally wouldn’t do it because I couldn’t stand the FOMO when everyone heads to the ground and I don’t. I don’t even like to be in Newcastle if I don’t have a ticket for a home game There are loads of reasons why people would though, as discussed.

We should be targeting Scottish and northern European fans as well really. Closest PL team to quite a lot of people.

If they build it with expansion in mind then I guess that’s much better. But personally I’d still rather sell season tickets to basically anyone who wants one and make it as big as physically possible. I don’t think it matters if we don’t sell out a few league cup games.

They’re absolutely class.

I don’t understand that amount of resale tickets at £1500 less than a week before the game. What do people do when they don’t sell? You don’t really see empty seats at major finals, so maybe the touts go themselves?

If they sold season tickets tomorrow, how many new ones do we think they could sell? Wouldn’t be surprised at 20,000 or more.

Some people are about 1 in 18 in the ballot. That said, the ballot probably only includes 50% of available seats since they brought back general sale.

Nobody has even thought this never mind posted it.

Don’t think anyone is moaning or twisting. Just might think that if you’re going to build once a lifetime you should go big. We could probably sell another 15k season tickets if we wanted.

Echoing some of the city architecture would be great actually.

SJP has aged pretty terribly TBF. Although lack of investment by Ashley didn't help.

I’m excited now. Doesn’t matter if they’re the favourites. Our job is clear, no expectations, just go and give everything.

They've hit the jackpot with Howe, could be catastrophic for the club to get back onto the managerial market for no reason at all. Makes no sense, they have to have a strategy for the club but they also need to keep their key person happy.

You can't base anything on an assessment of what happened before Mitchell came in. Even the window after he arrived, there was no time for a new strategy. I don't know why we would be anything but confident TBH. Everyone involved is a professional and will work out what it takes to do the best job they can with the money they have to spend.
