There's not a single stadium (combination of location, building and facilities) in the top flight that's better than ours ? If that was the case, why haven't all clubs with new stadiums built replicas of St James' Park so they can at least have the best possible building and facilities.

I'm not watching that Tyneside Life gubbins, so you'll have to tell me what in the park needs demolishing ? There's a duck pond, a band stand and a derelict house.

You reckon the deconstruction then reconstruction in a new location of a large scale Grade I listed occupied residential building that has been designated as being of exceptional historical interest and protected by law, is the most realistic option ?

Tyneside Life is just a symptom of a much, much, much bigger problem. Lots of people in society can't think objectively and don't take those type of videos with a pinch of salt. They see that YouTube bullshit and believe it to be true. Never underestimate the gullibility of people and how dangerous filling their minds with lies can be. If people believe that football bullshit, they're gullible enough to believe anything that they see. Sorry, that's got a bit heavy, but I feel very strongly about the dumbing down of society.

Even if what they say in those types of videos is absolute codswallop that they’ve completed fabricated ? Jay out of The Inbetweeners has got more credence than those YouTube bell whiffs

The gullible people who watch that type of shite and think it’s true. Makes you wonder what else they’re being hoodwinked by on the interweb.

What happened to the confirmation he had from high level officials that the council had approved a plan to move Leazers Terrace onto the tennis courts.

I watched them on telly a lot last season and they were really strong first half of the season, played some very nice football, but then they dropped off a cliff and barely won a game for months until the play offs. It might happen again, it might not. But you can’t say it definitely won’t.

Same shit different day

Tyneside Life had to ask his online followers for directions on how to get from the city centre to the town moor You do the math

This was from the FAB meeting with NUFC The final grouping of long term season ticket deals, which were introduced in 2011, will conclude as scheduled this season (25/26). The previous grouping ended in 2022. The use of final grouping suggests it wasn’t a huge number of STs, but that's just my interpretation. I’d also have expected the FAB to say in the meeting if tens of thousands were affected. 64% is a massive rise, but on a price that hadn’t increased for 14 years. Did people on 10+ year deals expect to pay Ashley’s 2011 prices forever? At some point, they had to align with what everyone else pays. They knew the deal they’d benefited from was ending and it wasn’t a stealth increase. If I fix my mortgage and interest rates rise, I have to pay the new market rate when the term ends. I've benefitted from the fix, but the landscape has changed. That’s just standard economics. Compare that with members, we already paid the highest ticket prices in the ground and were then hit with a stealth rise for 25/26, which was even bigger than the stealth rise on ST prices. I’d love for the whole ground to pay 2011 prices, but it’s not the case. 20,000 of us are paying £55+ per game for bog standard seats, whilst 10 year fix ST's are unhappy that they couldn't stay at £20 per game for the same bog standard seats. It’s just another example of the “us and them” division between STs and members that's been created by the takeover, unfortunately.

Take the emotion out of the building and look at it objectively. It’s a Frankenstein’s monster of a stadium thats youngest bits are 25 years old and some of the oldest bits are starting to think about drawing down their pension. And for the majority of the last 20 years the entire place was allowed to rot. Even in the last 4 years it’s received nothing substantial in the way of modernisation.

They've installed nonce detector scanning capability in some parts of the ground where there's lots of kids

We've been through this before. The people on 10 year deals knew their deal was coming to an end and their tickets would go up substantially. And they'd had bargain basement Ashley era prices for a decade (I was next to bloke last season who said he was was paying £18 a game, if I remember rightly), despite the club changing hands and the quality of football being incomparable since Jan 22 when we started buying decent players. And we don't know how many of the 10 year deals were left last August, the impression the club created was that it wasn't a significant amount. But who knows. Members were already paying more than anyone else to go game by game and were asked to cough up even more money game by game via another stealth price rise in August 25. The two things aren't comparable scenarios. In my view.

Admit it, you’re Hopkinson’s newly appointed Strategy Executive aren’t you

Assuming the same happens again for the Leeds 20:15 kick off, if I was a Leeds fan who didn't mind being in the home end then I'd spend £40 on a membership and snap up a resale ticket in the days before the game. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

I’m the same. The cup final just proved we’ve got a two-tier system and NUFC don’t give a fuck about members who pour time, money and effort into getting to games. My ballot failures are so tragic they’re just funny now. Member ticket prices get hiked again and no-one even reacts. All so you can pay even more money to sit next to some miserable cunt with an ST who moans all game (this is the norm in all parts of the ground). The ticketing workshop was the final straw, spaffing on about stopping touts while ignoring the real issue: unlimited memberships. Then there’s the “where were you when we were shit” attitude from some ST's. I've been traveling a lot recently and missing a few home games made me realise I can’t be arsed with this until they start valuing members. It’s all one way. NUFC take a fuckload of my money, I spend a fuckload of time hunting tickets to give them my money. And I get nothing back. If I’d bought an ST in September 2021 rather than buying a ticket for every game since Oct 2021, I’d be laughing. Cheaper tickets, no hassle getting tickets, cup ticket access, Wembley access, maybe away days. Rant over. For now.

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated ?

Two more ballot fails it is then. 38 ballot entries since Aug 2024 and 1 win (FUCKING BRADFORD). It's now become such a fucking joke that I'm hoping the run continues for infinity. Cunts.

It's not just this forum, a lot of the people in the stadium are way too negative and turn up just to piss and moan.

We're on the mainline between London and Edinburgh. Fly into London, Buckingham Palace, Crown Jewels, Platform 9¾, Hadrians Wall, Sven Adult Books Magpie Megadome, NUFC Club Shop, Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile, fly home.

Aye, there was a lot of noise at the start of the season about ST prices going up by about 10% year on year, but members have had to stomach a 25% price rise and there was no fuss made about that, that I saw

His last couple of seasons show he's not a shit player, but since he signed for us he's been playing shit. Calling him worse that shite and a wank player who was a waste of money is guaranteed to make him play better though. So let's keep that up aye. Why show encouragement and support to someone who clearly needs it, when you can criticise and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
