    In memoriam

    Yes, she has done well, but 94 isn't really classed as "all that old / lucky to live that long" these days.
  2. Yes, we are currently in Tier 4, in the "FA Women's National League Division 1 North", so it will take a while to get through the leagues. This the structure . . . Tier 1 – FA Women’s Super League Tier 2 – FA Women’s Championship Tier 3 – FA Women’s National League - Northern Premier Division / Southern Premier Division Tier 4 – FA Women’s National League – Division 1 North, Midlands, South East, South West
  3. I don't think I could live without this RTG lot now, they make me laugh and laugh so much every single day. If I actually stop and think about it, I feel that I should ring 999 and send a fleet of ambulances to them, they are in such a bad way. However I can't be bothered, I prefer to just laugh, and laugh, and L A U G H !!!!!!!!!!!!
  4. Subs: Darlow, Schar, Joelinton, Shelvey, Ritchie, Krafth, Wood, Almiron, M.Longstaff, Willock, Burn, Bondswell, Turner-Cooke.
  5. Pope, Trippier, Lascelles, Botman, Targett, S Longstaff, Guimaraes, Anderson, Murphy, Saint-Maximin, Wilson.
  6. My apologies! By the way, what is FFP called this week??
  7. If you mean me, I said FFP (etc) as I cannot yet remember "this weeks" name for it!! (If that is what you are saying?)
  8. We are now being run by extremely intelligent and capable people, exactly 100% the opposite of the situation prior to last October. It is difficult to get your head around the extreme extent of the difference. We have an endless supply of "potentially available" finance, we know that and so does everybody else. The very rich people of this world know how to manage their money, that is how they became rich, so our new owners will want optimum value for money out of every penny they spend on our behalf. I doubt if we will ever have a 'budget' to spend, in the normal/accepted sense, but we will not squander money, you can tell that more clearly the more experiences we have with our owners, the better we get to know them and their strengths. They intend to fully comply with FFP (etc) and their ambition is to produce a financially sound, stable, well managed, admired by others, and ultimately permanently successful football club. Those principles, we will come to learn, will underpin everything they do, and how and when they do it. To me, our long term future just gets more and more E X C I T I N G by the day.
  9. Yes, Wood scoring goals would be a great bonus, and I think he will do that, inevitably this coming season with the team having more possession as our standards of play improve under Howe and with new players. Wood also does provide other contributions to team-play, as mentioned earlier.
  10. It is in Kings Quad at Newcastle University, and was unveiled in 2017 . . .
  11. And my parents met Dr King when he came to the house where we were living on 13th November 1967 . . . https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/remembering-historic-newcastle-old-photos-maps-even-stories.982536/post-54175633
  12. Yes, the twinning of Newcastle and Atlanta, and the "Friendship Force" that followed it, all came out of Jimmy Carter's 1977 visit to Newcastle and I was there, skiving off from work on 6th May 1977. I didn't have any kind of zoom-lense on my little Kodak Instamtic Camera, so 'Photo Six' shows how close I got to JC at one point . . .
  13. I am still hoping that they will replace "Mike Ashley's Portable TV" that is stuck on the wall at the Leazes End, with a proper BIG screen. The current "Giant TV Screen" was installed in 2014, and it turned out to be a little bit smaller than it was initially made out to be . . . https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/st-james-park-nufc-off-the-field-activities-stadium-issues-transfers-takeovers-history-of-club-etc.458915/post-118222118 THIS is what we thought was going to happen . . . https://www.skyscrapercity.com/threads/st-james-park-nufc-off-the-field-activities-stadium-issues-transfers-takeovers-history-of-club-etc.458915/post-118096691
  14. Anyone know what the equivalent 'stats' are for the FTM club? is it "NIL" perhaps?
  15. The very fact that this part of North Newcastle has been approved for the construction of the massive "Newcastle Great Park" housing development, which will not be completed for about another 15 years, means that it is not 'Green Belt' protected land, even though (a long time ago) some of it was. Newcastle Great Park is a new suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne. Uniquely positioned in a rural setting, but just 3 miles from the city centre, the park is one of the most accessible locations in the Northeast. The map below shows the location of Newcastle Great Park in relation to some of the key destinations in the surrounding area, as well as the location of some of the key points on the park. You would need to get planning approval changed from residential, to whatever class a training ground would fall under. Not impossible, and (as mentioned in the past) Jamie Reuben's experience in development could prove very useful here.
  16. Yes it is, as I have said quite a few times just above. If you read the posts you will see it is others asking the questions about "North Tyneside", not me!
  17. We are discussing the planned new Training Ground
  18. I think I have already said why. Newcastle United fully based in Newcastle, contributing to our economy by the payment of Business Rates, and just 'being here'. The Training Ground can be anywhere in Newcastle, but the Stadium should be somewhere in the City Centre, like it currently is. To use your phrase . . it makes sense . . it is our identity, it is where we grew up, it is where we belong!
  19. Yes, North Tyneside was a hastily established "administratve area" for the provision of local authority services, in 1974. It is not a 'place' and it was never intended to be one, it does not appear on UK maps. I agree entirely, we live in one continuous urban area, the 7th largest urban area in the UK, and (as far as most people in the UK are concerned) it is all "Greater Newcastle".
  20. You can support "North Tyneside United" if you like, no problem with that. It is simple and non-contentious, I prefer Newcastle United to be in Newcastle, that's all!
