Totally, I can see why they would want in, not why the 80% stakeholders would want them in. I’m genuinely more happy that they’re involved tbh. East Pilgrim Street is in need of being totally revamped - and I fucking hate Stack.

Are we sure this is correct? I think when she says she’s a ‘fan’ of a Newcastle, it means she likes us. As opposed to being a ‘supporter’.

Am I the only one who would want to build any success gradually? I just think theres something really empty with the way Man City and Chelsea's achieved success. Chelsea barely even care about success now they've had it all. I'd hate for that to happen to our club after waiting so long, I'd be more than happy to wait a little longer as long as I could see us getting there. This please

Fuck them. They can hardly moan. 2 titles, an FA Cup and a Cup Winners Cup in the 80s and an FA Cup as recently as 95. Haven’t been in the second tier since the 50s (only four years in their entire history). They’ve had it fucking easy by comparison.

That's that "Shell" girl on twitter, no? The bloke is more annoying than the lass

It looks shite n’all

You quit the same summer as me. I’ve barely posted regularly on here since then, a positive correlation with my loss of love for all things NUFC. I’ve craved this day for so long, it almost doesn’t feel real. I can’t say I’m overjoyed with the Saudi backing - but who else would there have been? I think a Reuben ticket alongside Staveley would have been much preferred. But I’m sure she would have tried that first and gotten nowhere. However, saying all of that. I’ve waited far too long and lived with far too much hate for everything (and I mean everything) associated with NUFC to not try and enjoy this now. If I can’t, it really is game over supporting the club for me. It hasn’t been easy, but this week has shown me I do still care, and I can’t really say how I’ll feel until I see that first goal go in - I honesty don’t think I’ve properly celebrated a goal since 2013. It’s madness to think that something that encapsulated my whole life before then has meant so little to me in the last 5 or 6 years. From a purely selfish perspective, I just want that passion back in my life.

Can’t be any worse than this:

That’s what I mean. Even just being able to sit in the stand without having to wear a disguise would be nice

I hope he’s in the stands at the very least for our first game under new owners. A half time pitch appearance would be immense.

I was wondering that- good news if true. Place wouldn't be the same without the longtime season ticket holders back I’m not sure it’s true. Bloke at work got one for his kid and apparently had option to renew? Absolute bummer if true. I hope not

Is there a list out there on longest cup droughts? I assume we’re one of the longest? On reading this, I never knew that Fulham and Crystal Palace have never won a major trophy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drought_(sport)#Association_football

Where are we at with safe standing? That can increase capacity in standing areas by 50% can’t it?

Dreadful around there. It seems to have its own microclimate of ‘Tornado’ whenever I watch the Falcons. Gosforth (Newcastle Falcons) should never have moved to KP in all honesty. At the very least they should have bought the old county ground (now Asda) and rebuilt it from there. Gosforth would have been a much better ground with better infrastructure (pubs, metro etc) than where they are now. You just can’t move to the middle of nowhere and it expect it to be the same.

Got to hope we can buy back Strawberry Place...

Full link https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52302094 You spoke well. We need the dust to settle and the deal to go through before we even start thinking about this conversation imo.

2-4wks Lockdown might be over by then though.... Imagine?

That was peak forum that Can you buy tickets without the other being there? Who bloody knows.

I’d argue we deserve credit for making everyone notice that we were sick. Let’s be fair, every single protest/boycott prior to the exodus last summer was futile. Good luck getting it back mate. Hope I do too! I’d like to think everyone who sacrificed their ticket should be applauded! Who knows?! I don’t really care tbh. I just want to be back singing and supporting again! Fingers crossed for you too. I’ll be camping in the queue outside the ticket office on 30th June that’s for sure. Too right mate, it’s the only way. They’ll be like Gold bars at first. Hopefully the Trust can do their bit and the club give people like us a chance to return, although that’ll go down like a lead balloon with the support the team lot. I’ve already been labelled a deserter. So yeah. I doubt they’ll be too happy...

If the 10,000 have to go through general sale like everybody else...that should help. There may be a fair few who stopped their DD this month as well? I’m unsure if the best way to go is to queue at the Box Office or to do it online. I think the club struggled with the capacity when 10,000 applied. So maybe box office is the way to go?

Had a few twitter arguments with morons who think those who ‘deserted’ the club (I’d call it a boycott) in the last 12 years shouldn’t be allowed season tickets compared to those who’ve ‘stayed through thick and thin’. Our fan base man... Some of them don’t deserve what’s about to happen and I almost wouldn’t want to share a stadium with them tbh. But they’re not stopping the likes of me and Heron[/member] etc from going back. Wankers

This!

I could live without Gareth Bale, like. If we're being choosy I don't love the thought of a blank chequebook. It's not like I care about winning. Just getting the club back is enough. Exactly I’d have to agree. I’d rather a genuine and methodical approach at building the club organically. Part of me is actually more excited to see what the Reuben’s do with Pilgrim Street and develop the city centre. I just want to support my club again and for the city to benefit from it.
