If we wear a special shirt once per season in an attempt to get local yoots to stop shanking each other to death then I’m sure we’d get some leniency on the design too

They’ve made a rod for their own back by falsifying their attendance most weeks and then praising themselves for having big attendances when it’s clearly not the case. They’ve got zero humility I actually find the crack about their attendance to be cringe for both us and them, but there’s not many things more satisfying in life than a liar who makes false boasts being shown up for being a liar who makes false boasts So for as long as they continue to lie, I’ll continue to enjoy pointing and laughing at their empty stadium whilst they bleat on about Nissan backshifts, peak wedding season etc etc

They’re doing really well in the league It was a 3pm Saturday kick off It wasn’t on telly It was opposition of a similar standard At £20 / £15 the tickets weren’t extortionate It was a bit icy, but the weather was fine On paper you’d expect to sell plenty of tickets Despite them falsifying their attendances they look like they pull 30,000+ for home games but 50% of those people couldn’t be arsed yesterday It does point towards a mix of apathy in their fanbase and the effect of not being allowed to give away any tickets With the good season they’re having I’m genuinely surprised by the apathy It paints a grim picture of a fanbase to see a ground only 1/4 full during a season that’s actually going well. And I’d say that whether it’s the makems or any other club

Loads of slides, that’s how

They’re like an ornamental hermit living in the grotto at the end of our garden Functioning as a curiosity and novelty, used as a way to provide entertainment for people who live normal lives and enjoy looking on in wonderment at the hermit choosing to live in a perpetual stage play of idiocy So out of touch with reality that they exist in some strange and tortured mental limbo

@M4 The Heineken Marketing bod didn’t even know that Adidas were reissuing a shirt with the Brown Ale logo on But the view was that it’s free advertising for a beer brand that they spend zero money promoting, so no downside for Heineken

Translation is: It’s peak season for Juke production my friend and we have a huge Nissan site which needs every employee making Jukes my friend My nanna and all my ancestors on her side were from Monkwearmouth so I learnt to decipher Makem as a kid As a pure bred Makem she was also partial to telling fibs, like insisting our Great Uncle was the man who discovered the North Pole. He’d actually never left Wearside

Rights there was Water slides, lazy river, waves, teenage fingeblasting, teachers wanking off pupils in a jacuzzi, razor blades in the slides, perverts drilling peep holes in the walls of the unisex changing cubicles, water riddled with bacteria It was a fun day out for all the family

Impressive noise so far at Villa Park Friday night kicks offs with big away allocations are fucking mint Cardiff at home Feb 2010 being a top one at NUFC

Them fucking flame throwers that have become de rigueur before a football match. They’re for cunts

I know us amateur property developers, civil engineers and town planners have talked the Arena site to death for various reasons But My good lord, a massive state of the art stadium perched on high ground above the banks of the Tyne Imagine that being the main thing millions of billions of people see as they cross a bridge into Newcastle by rail or road It'd be absolutely fucking breath taking. A proper statement piece

Takes a big old toot on his pipe, has a brilliant pipe dream, starts typing out his dream, nods off before finishing typing We've all been there

Buy the leftover slides from the now demolished Wet n Wild Build a muckle slide from the Quayside Wetherspoons down to the new floating Sven Adult Books Magpie Megadome Finish your £1.25 pint of John Smiths in Spoons at 14.45. Hop on the slide and you'll be at the ground in under 2 mins. Safely in your seat before Hey Hey Lets Go gets aired by DJ Onedek Would be magnificent

As a teen in the 90's the lock out period when it was 100% season tickets was so fucking demoralising Fortunately I knew a family who would sometimes have a spare season ticket so I got to a game from time to time, but being denied access to something I loved so much at an absolutely influential age was gutting Just build an 80,000 capacity stadium, would rather have the potential of a few thousand empty seats for less popular games, rather than people being locked out or having to go into a lottery to get tickets

Monkseaton High is officially closing in 2026. Really poor internal design for teaching kids in apparently, only at 50% pupil capacity and losing a shitload of money https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93q95338x2o Proper white elephant of a building, despite looking snazzy and cool from a distance

If local people, especially youngins, can’t afford to go to the match or can’t get home and away tickets because there’s no form of priority given to them, then we risk current and future generations being denied access to something that is a hugely positive and important cultural aspect of life in the region I know in the modern era we need to grow a UK wide / international / affluent fan base to compete, but it shouldn’t be at the detriment of people in the North East. There needs to be some balance between the two groups I’m fortunate I know how to work the ticketing system and £50 ticket prices + £40 membership aren’t a financial stretch for me. But I haven’t lost sight of the bigger issues of football clubs being community assets that unify local people and a football club shouldn’t exist to fleece fans Especially in our region, which is a disadvantaged, overlooked, poverty stricken area of the country I’d be happy to pay more for my tickets if it meant a young adult from the North East who’s NUFC daft got a discount on theirs
