We could sell 65k every week now easily. If the owners are looking at a future where that might not be the case I'd be concerned tbh.
-
Good luck with that. They went bust 2 years ago and no longer exist.
-
We could have sold 65k v Wimbledon for a midweek early round League Cup match at 1 weeks notice man. Loads got rejected in the ballot. A 65k stadium would have been full for every game this season, and this is just the start.

He's never wrong. Never.
-
The only player they had who didn't look totally out of his depth against us was Pritchard and they got £250,000 for him.

West Ham has a 68,000 capacity but I think they're limited to around 63,000 at tbe moment. 65k will still be well oversubscribed for us. Should go to 70k which will still be sold out every week. I just think that leaving SJP for an extra 12,600 seats, many of which will be corporate, so let's say 8k extra standard seats, isn't really worthwhile. Still have the same issues as now with 1000s locked out.

League Cup Trophy Celebration: Saturday 29th March

Just forward the email on to whoever wants to go. -
Their fans were wanting him dropped the other week mind. 4 goals and 1 asssist in 34 games in a dog shit Championship League isn't exactly mind blowing. They have form for over hyping players only to be disappointed when they leave for relative peanuts.
-
I'd wager he'll go for nowhere near that. He's hardly set the Championship alight this season.
-
Couldn't care less tbh. After the way they went on with Amanda Staveley they opened themselves up as fair game. Would rather the kids faces had been blurred out mind but other than that fuck the bitter twats

Aye they said for years before there was relegation from Scottish League 2 that many of the Junior teams (that's what they call Non League teams for those who don't know) were stronger than a lot of the league teams and it's proven to be the case. First thing's first they need to stay in this league. Then this American Millionaire needs to show his hand. Pump a few quid in, invest in the squad and see what happens. Personally I feel they're better off in the Scottish League. At the moment they are a League below the proper league and as you say there's always the chance of a cup game at Ibrox or Parkhead in front of 50,000 which would generate ridiculous money for them. Just separately from all this I had a good 10 minute chat with the Chairman before the match yesterday. Asked if I'd been to the Cup Final. Said I had. Told me he had a tear in his eye when we won it. Couldn't have been prouder for the Region. Said it before but they're great people up there.

They're out on a limb geographically really. Even in the Northern League they'd have a fair few 100 mile trips to the Teesside teams. It was mentioned on that forum and on a fans Facebook page about moving down to the NL but it was shot down in flames. Geography is another reason they can't attract the quality of players or have to overpay for them. The relegation issue is very confusing and depends on a load of permutations. They do now have an American Millionaire on the board of directors. If they can stay up I think he might put his hand in his pocket for a summer rebuild. https://hellorayo.co.uk/greatest-hits/borders/news/berwick-rangers-chris-butler-joins-board/

I'd be amazed if anyone from one of the low pots waited for the slight chance of it going as far as pot 6 mind. I certainly don't know anyone who was daft enough. -
Just like Catchphrase. Say what you see.

8 mackems in that photo. 3 of them obese, 2 of them morbidly so. Apparently we're the "fat gravy stained fanbase though".

Berwick 1-2 Tranent. Another awful display by Berwick who are in increasing danger of dropping into the obscurity of the East Of Scotland League. First time I've seen the fans start to really get on the players/managers/Chairman's back and it was getting very tetchy at times to the point where the club have had to issue a statement today. Attendance 410.

Aye but there was only 800/900 successful applicants in pot 6 so when they went on sale to those who'd got the email saying they could apply from 12pm on the Thursday there could only have been those people on, not 8000+ No way was anyone from pot 4 or 5 waiting for pot 6 so they could sit with their mates either! -
Tbh my seat was empty. I was in block 139 but my mate was in block 136 so I just stood with him. I reckon a fair few people were doing the same. Also loads standing in the aisles as wel.

I got lucky in pot 6 for Wembley and when I went on I was queue number 8,700 odd. Bear in mind there was only 800-900 tickets up for grabs so only that amount of people could have been trying to buy tickets. -
My dad was actually in Stings class at school (St Cuthberts). Reckons he wasn't really into football back then but definitely wasn't a Sunderland fan!

Is that mag who isn't a mag Chris Dobie, who's been a season ticket holder since he was a bairn? Not sure why they keep on spouting this type of absolute horse shit. Apparently Sam Fender only got interested in NUFC when he became famous to help push along his career. I mean there's photos of him as a bairn in his Newcastle gear but they aren't having it. Such a tapped (dwindling) group of people.

The Look North thread on there is a thing of absolute beauty. However bitter and twisted anyone thought they were just take a read of that and you will them realise you weren't even close. They are broken. Done. Finished. There is nothing happening at their own club to even offer them a glimmer of positivity for the future. They either blow promotion this season or become next seasons Southampton. The fewm gets greater and greater as you scroll to the next page https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/look-north-again.1650764/

This is just wrong on every level. It's something for the entire city and wider Region is this. Whether you're a season ticket holder, Mag+ member or whatever it shouldn't make any difference at all. Massive own goal. -
Off to Berwick v Tranent on Saturday. Absolutely massive game game for Berwick.
