Love you Odin keep posting the positives ie. reality please - the people against this happening I fully understand too As a new member I would like to know who are my contemporaries on here or almost if that's ok. I was born 1956 went to my first game on 16th November 1968 and a bullet header by Wyn Davies in the last minute saw us win 1-0 The crowd reaction and subsequent noise I will never forget the green turf laid out like a snooker table when all on tele was black and white = hook line ans sinker since then. Watched all of the home Fairs Cup games and thought I was watching the first of many trophies ... NUFC forum as Poz for many years until it closed. PM or reply as it still feels strange around here and to be honest a bit of a meltdown at the moment. My first full season (the first season I had enough money, as a young-un) was the Fairs Cup Season, 1968/1969. Lovingly described in here . . . https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=2177948

That is what it is . . "The Third Division". You can give the lower divisions all the 'silly names' you like, but they are still in reality (and numerically) the 2nd Division, 3rd Division, and 4th Division. Always will be!

It was actually going to be built on Castle Leazes which is the piece of land between Spital Tongues and Leazes Park. Personally, I still think they should look at this option again, as it's literally a few hundred yards from the current stadium.......the current SJP site could then be given back to the city and incorporated into Leazes Park. Imagine a 70,000 seater stadium set there man, it would be incredible. https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=458915&page=6 Bollocks to that, man. We've got a fantastically unique stadium that needs some TLC. Moving elsewhere isn't necessary; the priority should have been protecting the land behind the Gallowgate. Here is a "direct link" to the SkyscraperCity post about the 1997 Castle Leazes Stadium Plans / Details . . . https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=63356735&postcount=81

Shouldve gone ahead with SJH plan from years ago ... Yep. Should’ve forced it through despite some of the protests which were ill informed. The end result would’ve been more green belt land. Absolutely this. I think the wrong decision was made once the plans were turned down, mind. The club should have put the ground expansion on the back-burner and ploughed all their resources into strengthening the team. I'm convinced we would have won trophies with that mindset, creating greater funds which could have then been spent on moving over the road to the site of the Brewery which was closed around this time. The Brewery site (any of it) was never available to NUFC, it was instantly approved as the massive job creation site for "Newcastle Science Central", which is now about 75% built and is called "Newcastle Helix".

I don't know why anyone has any strong feelings about Charnley? He isn't really there, he is simply a non-thinking (not allowed to think) mouthpiece of Ashley. He has nothing to do with anything, all decisions are taken by Ashley.

Definitely gonna happen, in fact it has 'already 90% happened', as far as I can see !!

The Arena Site is too small, and there are proposals in planning already for the adjacent sites.

As said just above, the Freemen will never agree to release it, as it is a part of 'Town Moor Land'.

The often quoted area of Newcastle for a new stadium, is Gosforth Park. Many people want to keep the Stadium in the City Centre though, and Gosforth Park (where Newcastle Racecourse is) is regarded as a bit too 'far out', by many. The Town Moor as our main "City Centre Park", though only part of it is laid out as a Victorian-style park, such as Exhibition Park, Nuns Moor Park, and Leazes Park (all part of the Town Moor) is unlikely to ever be released by the Freeman for a new stadium.

Durham (and therefore Durham Cathedral) is, to put it simply, a part of the Newcastle Area. Tragically, so is Sunderland !! You go anywhere in the UK and the world, and if you live outside Newcastle and you want people to know 'where exactly' you are from, you need to always explain "it's near Newcastle". That is why Durham Cathedral is correctly on the flag, as it is part of the Newcastle Area. Durham Cathedral has absolutely NO significant or relevant link with the area called 'Sunderland'. Sunderland itself is, of course, a small part of 'the Newcastle Area' to the rest of the UK and the world (whether WE like it or not) but it is NO SURPRISE that nothing (no building or feature) from there is distinctive enough to appear on any Newcastle United / Newcastle Area, FLAG !!! Sunderland is just a small and grotty part of "The Newcastle Area" . . . and they know it.

Why would he stay? Rafa is someone who wants to "do" something . . .and by that I mean "do something better". Ashley's mentality ("I'm the BOSS and I'm THICK") means that there is now nothing for Rafa to "do" here. "Doing" is prohibited. He will leave, he has to leave.

No !!!

House of Fraser and Debenhams are both "traditional UK Department Stores". In a Department Store you can usually find anything you want to buy, in their original concept they are 'retail worlds in themselves'. In the UK the remaining (more successful) main Department Store Groups are 'John Lewis', 'Fenwick', 'Selfridges', and 'Harvey Nichols'. House of Fraser Department Stores and Debenhams Department Stores have also been very successful, until the last five years or so. It will be sad if we lose either (or both) of these traditional "Department Store" groups.

Sorry !! Know what you mean, a great and very successfully progressing club, poised to start winning things . . . W A S T E D.

Similar? I thought everyone knew that for many years our revenue / turnover, was much higher than Liverpools . . .

£1.74m Yes, that would be about right, possibly even less. just shows the "actual worth" of our new transfer record breaking buy.

I would have thought a LOT less than that! What is the world transfer record now (at this date, while we are buying Almiron) and remember that a few years earlier it was £15 Million for Alan Shearer.

So, we have finally "broken our transfer record" ! At the time we bought Michael Owen, had Almiron been around then, how much would he have been worth in the transfer market, I wonder?

It is nothing but a (very) HUMBLE start . . a small beginning. Will he be any good in the Premier league? To be fair, it seems unlikely, as a "proper club" (not the "Ashley little joke club formerly known as NUFC") would have bought him (outbid us) if he was any good at all. I think most of us realise this. So, today is Tuesday, the Transfer Window closes on Thursday . . . . a "bit late" for this very humble (speculative) START !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why have they waited so long ? The Transfer Window is almost shut !!

He could do whatever he wants and there will still be 50,000 sat in silence rather booing Perez and Benitez instead of giving the parasite any grief. He has it all exactly where he wants it. He's ground the energy and expectation levels into the ground over 11 years. Done a cracking job in that respect with little resistance I hear he is going to parade Denis Wise on the pitch at half time, saying "this is what I think of you lot" followed by "see you all next week" . . . NOT true, unfortunately, but it fully and accurately sums up (to me) the "total contempt" that he appears to have for us. He would LOVE to do that, I think.

Would rather not have owners like that tbh. why not? they've invested a load for the local community and the club? what type of owners do you want? not rich? not arabs? The Man City owners are the PERFECT owners, in my opinion. What they do in their own country that we might not like (if they do anything at all) is down to them and their own country to eventually sort out. As owners of a UK Premier League Football Club, they are just perfect.

if it remains? its the f***ing 16th of January and not one sniff of anyone being brought in or the situation being different. We all know we will spend nothing in January barring that stupid Jan of 2016 we have spent a grand total of 300k in the other 4 jan windows combined Feb 1st will be the nail in our coffin for a lot of fans im at the point where im 95% done with NUFC and that really hurts. This fat f***ing c*** has killed my love of my club for me. We are an absolute nothing club now just another of his utter s*** business portfolio who happens to have a sporting organisation attached to it Yes, it appears (as it has done for many years) that we are beaten, finally. He has WON. No, we can only beat ourselves by continuing to support his businesses (NUFC included.) I think it is way too late now, it has gone on for too long. We are now "established" as what Ashley wanted us to be, it is plain to see.
