Yeah. The bill for printing a sending out paper tickets much be massive. It would be much better to just have it on your phone, with an option of having a paper ticket, potentially with a small P&P cost?

I’m not a drinker so it doesn’t bother me, I was just surmising if it’s the first step in a change in attitudes.

Yeah, I managed to get one, there were no tickets left at all in any of the lower tiers. It was always so daft that the family enclosure was so large.

I thought that they lock them up or down depending on if that competition allows for standing or not. Alcohol in the stands next?

Imagine climbing all that way to get to your position and not having a seat to rest for a little while.

That lass who hangs around with Wraith, Wraith taught her well because she sucked the enjoyment of surprise out of it by positing it all over the #NUFC on Twitter as soon as she received hers. I’ve always defended her by saying that she’s young and naive, but that was a dickhead move.

Aye, he will never get a chance there. PAG will just keep bringing in the big names ahead of him, and if the priest et of going to PSG was real, there was no chance he would have came to us, his agent would have kept upping his demands once we had met them.

New club shop, ticket office etc on the ground floor. Possibly make Shearers’ bar all the way across under the Gallowgate, and/or new turnstile access. Long term ambition maybe to extend it outwards in anyway, towards the road.

Not really no, plus you have the old Sage building now needing a new purpose/demolished.

NUFC do not allow players to stop for autographs outside the training areas unless the local schools are on holiday, they even have signs saying this.

It is a topic that is discussed many times on the SkyScraperCity forum that some members on here are members of. Basically Newcastle’s true population figures are lowered because it’s urban area is split into different councils, those being Newcastle City Council, North Tyneside, Gateshead, South Tyneside, and Northumberland. This means that on paper Newcastle has a smaller population than it’s urban, social and economic area really does. This means that outside investment may overlook investing in Newcastle because the population does not look that great, and more controversially, it lacks government investment for the same reasons. Newcastle airport is part owner by the different councils, as well as Durham council and Sunderland Council to the ones already mentioned. Each council used to hold a share equalling to their population, and Sunderland quite famously on Wearside held a greater share than Newcastle council did. This was because how Newcastle’s population figures are split up into 5 different councils, instead of Sunderland’s council including all of their population figures. As it happens Newcastle councils population figures even after being split up, recently surpassed Sunderland’s, as well as each council who holds a share in the airport changing to a model where they all own an equal share. This means that Sunderland council no longer owns more of Newcastle airport than Newcastle council does. Of course it was never really important how much share each council held, but it was sort of a symbol of the problem of population counting for Newcastle due to the different councils. Newcastle’s true population levels are actually on par with those of Glasgow, and other major cities. The issue doesn’t end there, as one person pointed out it prevents someone from using facilities closer to them because of council boundaries, and having to use facilities further away. A couple of issues that have arises lately is the fact that one council can do work on a traffic issue which fixes the issue where they are, but pushes the bottle neck further down the road in a different council area. Meaning that council now has to deal with the issue, rather than them working together to fix the issue as a whole. Another issue is the fact that North a Tyneside council or similar will permit out of town retail parks and office parks with much lower rents and business rates than Newcastle council has. Meaning retail and office jobs are being pushed out to hard to access out of town locations, instead of then being placed inside Newcastle city centre which is easy to access, and it also has a knock effect for the towns in the other council area, the very reason why towns like North Shields, and Wallsend have been left behind, and Gateshead town centre being a bigger example. Sorry to go off topic a bit.

The new site will literally be on the boundary of North Tyneside and indeed closer to the boundary of Northumberland than to SJP. For what it’s worth though, Sunderland’s training ground/academy is actually in Tyneside, in fact it’s fence around the perimeter is the actual boundary between South Tyneside and Sunderland.

Yeah they are, they are also moving into Fenwicks on Northumberland Street as well. Fenwicks are about to do a large internal refurbishment of their store.

The club or Rueben brothers?

Aye, just an absolute whopper, even Jim White who is the king of breaking news which isn’t actually news was cringing at him. In all honesty though it didn’t even sound like he was in discussions to buy the club, or made a bid, just saying what he wants he is apparently willingly to pay.

If it is between us and Arsenal then to be honest you only go to Arsenal if you are more bothers about looking good but not actually being good, same with Man Utd. With us, we have a long term plan in place, we are building a team to go somewhere. As much as the Jesus signing for them was brilliant, I don’t feel like there is a plan at Arsenal and they are just buying to fill holes and tried to get the biggest name they could afford/attract to fill the hole upfront, and look like they are doing something. I think long term, Arsenal and Man Utd are on the decline. I’m not saying we’ll win something or the title, but in 3-5 years time you’ll probably be looking at all 3 clubs and saying we are likely to challenge before they do.

To be fair at one point Sunderland council did have a bigger share of the airport. The shares are divided by each areas population, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Gateshead, and Northumberland all cutting in on the greater Newcastle area cuts NCC’s population figures down. I think though NCC in recent years has surpassed Sunderland again in population numbers, so the shareholding may have changed again.

That never went over the line.

Off to West Ham isn’t he?

Nah, I just don’t think he has anything above average about him.

The club shop will likely be able to put one on.

Leicester would be a decent move for him. One of those clubs that’s not a top 6 regular club, but should be breaking in. Seems like Rodgers has fizzled out there.

We won’t be interested in Ronaldo, and he won’t be interested in us. He’s too old, you are getting a year or two out of him. He’s on £500k a week, even if he takes a wage cut to join us (he won’t) he would still be on 2-3 times more than anyone else here. If we bring him in, then his wages alone would mount up to what we would pay for anyone else. On top of this he’s wanting Champions League football.

Still claiming that they wear red and white stripes because of them. They guy who first bought them was about to board a ferry from Southampton and bought them from the club (directly, because they didn’t sell to fans back then). I fail to see how it was because of them.

Maybe, maybe not. There is over 20k in the online queue, they have a queue at SJP, and a telephone queue as well. This is only people who are able to do this upon release as well. Considering people going away for their holidays and such, I think there maybe decent crowds for the games. I wonder if they will £10 the upper tiers at a later date.
