Imagine the HELL ON if the East Stand barnacles were told not only was their seat they've be in for decades being removed and replaced with a new seat, but for a period of time they might have to travel to an alternative stadium and also, due to capacity constraints they could only go to every other game.

The Reuben’s will eat this sort of thing for breakfast. Piece of piss for some of the biggest property developers in the game. Guess the main difference is that they don’t usually have tens of thousands of emotionally invested people speculating about every step along the way.

St James Street is south of Leazers Terrace, so if we’re building in the Leazers Park area then SJS is slightly further away from the new site than LT. The west facing flats at the north end of Leazers Terrace, that we’ve just bought, can actually look directly into the park from their windows. St James Street doesn’t have a view of the park.

One of the benefits of a new build is we won’t have to find anywhere else to play and can keep the 52,000 match day revenue ticking in every other week. The logistical hassle of being without a stadium, or the financial hassle of having massively reduced capacity for a few years will be a factor in decision making, I’m sure.

I swear Chelsea just keep dipping their hands down the back of the sofas in Cobham and end up finding players they didn’t even realise they owned. Never seen such a bloated squad in all my life. Half the players won’t even know each others names, never mind be able to string together a couple of passes to each other. Morning registration must take up at least an hour of training time each day.

You want to build a new house and there is a risk the neighbours of the plot you want to build on might object to your plans. So you buy the neighbouring houses. Cogito ergo sum, no objections to your plans to build the new house.

Not disagreeing, because I don’t think it’s happening either. But if we needed a neutral 52,000+ stadium to play in for a year or two, then it’s the best option.

Might be a Smoggie in the opposite position who’s buzzing his fucking tits off.

Shirley that would need a trial game to see how the logistics work, ideally against another Premier League side as a pre-season friendly.

If we stay where we are and build that fish shaped design, where we playing our home games whilst it gets built ?

I once looked out my upper floor hotel room window of the Hilton in Leeds at approximately 5am and used the mega-zoom on my Sony camcorder to see beyond what was possible with the human eye and I ended up watching a randy couple doing the nasty on the bonnet of a car.

Which of these options are the most likely if you’re a savvy investment fund ? A) Spend £25,000,000 to buy and then knock down a Grade II listed building and create public fucking outcry that Saudi’s have come over here and are destroying our ancient architecture with bulldozers. B) Spend £25,000,000 to buy a commercial enterprise that generates significant amounts of revenue even if they do absolutely fuck all to change the building and when you meet local building owners to try and push through your plans for a new stadium in the park this happens:

30,000 seats below street level. It’ll be known as The Nou-castle Camp. Believe.

Today's news is concrete evidence of that.

Fucking hope so, the defence has been sloppy as fuck this season

Don't want to start any rumours flying but I'm positive I just saw Fred Dibnah walking up past the Trent House towards the ground

If we do well next season then the club will have been proved right. If we don't then they'll have been proved wrong. I suspect results in Aug & Sept will be the biggest clues as to whether Howe has learned from 25/26 or not. Time will tell and I'm not claiming to be Nostradamus, I think arguments for both keeping / sacking have strong positives & negatives.

It's a PR piece. A lot of what is said might be accurate and true, but it completely skips over most of the fuck ups Howe's made this season. As you say, if the players were surprised by the intensity of a trip to Wearside then the management team need their arses kicking for not preparing them properly for a local derby. If I'm being spoonfed the inside track of all of the difficult things Eddie's had to face into this season, I also want to see some acknowledgement that he handled things badly too many times. I'd like a bit of balance. The article has got about as much balance as Alan Barnes sharing a see-saw with John Candy.

If we have a poor season next year then I hope everyone gets the credit they deserve for showing great frustration, a desire for change and seeing the bigger picture. Can't have it one way, but not the other.

Very easy to get a ticket nearer to the game this season. If you live locally, or can get to Newcastle at short notice then buying an ST resale in the days before the game has been a piece of piss. Obviously not everyone can make themselves available for a game at 48hrs notice though. Didn’t even have to F5, just select from hundreds of available seats. As a result, I sacked off the 10am sale a while back. Surprising how many people I know who weren’t aware that resale tickets were widely available.

Whilst that’s true about it taking nothing to apply for a ballot, there’s also plenty of people who don’t work on computers and therefore ballot is their only option. I can make myself free at 10am on a Monday and also F5 whilst on phone calls at my desk job. If I was a teacher I don’t have those options. Which would mean my only way to get a ticket would be to get someone with a desk job to link accounts and buy tickets on my behalf. If I don’t have any friends with desk jobs who are also NUFC match goers, then I’m fucked.

I just tried that. I thought of Alan Barnes

What would rather wear a jumper with a picture of me nanna's growler screen printed across the front.
