Historically perhaps, currently yes definitely, but in the very near future . . . N O !!!!!!

Beware . . .

I'm surprised to see you say that. I can understand the logic of what you say and how that could come about, but I absolutely feel that (uniquely) we have owners that want to make St James' Park give us everything we want and need, and that they are well capable of "making it happen". What a place our famous SJP will be then !!!

I think that if you knew about my history on here you would know that what you have said is the opposite of the truth. My most frequently used word always has been . . . R E A L I S T I C !!!!!

All I can say about all of those points you make is "who writes your stuff"? Honestly, your thought processes must be very odd, to produce such a collection of comments, particularly the last one. You almost sound like you come from Sunderland !!

I have put two sections of your post (Wandy) in bold. First section - just simply not true ("vast majority" !!!!) just not true at all. Second section - not relevant to the point under discussion.

What is it with people? Just accept that our astute new owners agree with most Newcastle United supporters - we will expand St James' Park as much as all the money in the world will enable us to, and whatever we do we are staying at St James' Park !!!

The "London" airports are now . . . London Heathrow London Gatwick London Stansted London City London Southend London Luton London Oxford

As has been said . . . "you are either on the inside, or you are outside looking in. I prefer being inside and being able to compete". Being on the inside is G R E A T !!!

It is not a bad thing in any way !! It is the most effective way of funding a large and successful football club. There is no dispute about that. It is a 'more recent' way of doing things - but that (being newish) doesn't make it bad. Our world continually changes and THAT change has already happened.

Out of interest, why do you not "agree with" this? It is, whether we like it or not, the full and well established future of very top level football. We either join in (which we have) or sit there in permanent nothingness. I know what I prefer, I never think about it now, "it is us / we are it" ALL one thing, with a V E R Y exciting future for us.

Exactly.

Of course. Indoctrination is a very powerful thing, particularly 'lifelong' indoctrination. It is almost impossible to cure, and those impacted do not know what they are losing by all the time they spend on these things - until it is too late.

I don't dislike religious people at all. But I do wonder about their sanity. To waste the short time that we all have on this planet constantly fantasising about a 'thing' that doesn't exist (so you can feel comfortable and safe) is so very sad for them. Life is for living, while we have it.

Exactly this.

With the club constantly (and brilliantly) fighting down the original "Newcastle Tax" scenario, by their constant references to FFP etc, it is understandable that people and media are becoming convinced of the lack of money. It is a brilliant bit of work !! Personally, I have felt for a while that we will get B O T H of these, plus Tierney. Watch this happy space !!!!!!!!!!!!

The old 'Centre Paddock' where I had my first season ticket, which was a 'standing' season ticket.

If that is correct, then we would NOT want him here anyway. Any quality player, after being told that WE want him, that picks any English club (apart from Man City) over us is quite simply not worth bothering with. We are the Premier League "hot ticket" now (and for the forseeable future) and anyone who cannot see that is an idiot and therefore we do not want them. SIMPLE but true.

Getting set up for Sam Fender at the weekend . . .

Ha Ha - good spot, but we will always have "fun" with these owners, 88 or otherwise !!!!!

This is what our new owners have brought to us . . . F U N !!!!!!!!!!!!

II think that people (those that for some odd reason did not already know) are now learning that our great City of Newcastle is an elegant and beautiful Regional Capital City. A real "destination" place, a City you want to live in. It is a transfer card that I am sure that Amanda and co will always have played and always will play and so any of these (mentioned) "blip clubs" will be playing into our hands if they try that.
