Arsenal extending there’s. To 70k+. Liverpool also not quite finished expanding there’s. 60k big enough for Spurs for a while yet. Especially under Levy

Both their old grounds had running tracks. That was the problem.

Hadn’t realised we could have up to 7 teams in the UCL next season if EPL teams win the UCL and Europa this. Kept that rule change quiet!

I think iirc the increase for him will be 55%.

Kalvin Phillips cost West Ham £7-8m for a season loan on massive wages. Think he cost Ipswich £9m on loan with more to pay to make permanent. Longstaff probably cost you 1/3 the wages of Phillips so more could go into the fee.

Disagree. Lot more. Minutes waiting for stuff to get set up though I agree modern day football heading that way slightly. Throughout? Who are these people!? Im guessing there are less “intense” parts of the ground. Drinking in your seat where I’m sat wouldn’t be advisable. Do you not have a word with them?

Anyone coming to the NUST meeting this evening?

This. He’ll get minutes against Birmingham. See Hall this season.

League maybe (?) but not Union. Went to see England play at SJP a few years back. So many breaks in play etc and overall the engagement completely different to a football match.

That’s why I said West Ham would’ve been a better example to use instead of Spurs. Regardless of facilities on offer at the ground it’s the big location change that effects the original pub routes as the footfall takes people elsewhere. Anyway let’s see what is announced… 👍🏻

I’d forgotten about that. Vaguely remember that story now.

I disagree. The pubs are rammed solid pre and post match and SJP has bars inside and the club have built the Stack. As for Spurs specifically reading the comments I did the other day from their fans similar to ourselves service and prices are poor but also they don’t have the amount of pubs we do. I’ll repeat the Tweet is about not spending money in the ground as they don’t like Levy. Nothing at all to do about struggling local businesses and pubs

Before I get too deep I’ll remind you and anyone reading that I’ve never bought anything at SJP on matchday in the 41 years of going. Not one penny I’ve never been someone who thinks alcohol goes hand in hand with the football experience. I’ve always believed it’s about being around your friends if you are fortunate enough to have some with a similar love for football. I’ve never had a routine as I get bored with routine so what pubs or cafes I go into pre and post match varies. I’ve nothing against those who do have their routines. Most based on no mobile phones back in the day so you had to prearrange. I know and meet some who do. Having said that if the prices and quality were good (Spurs charge less for alcohol than some not all local pubs) and my friends wanted to go in early (always thinks that helps the atmosphere with away games) or hang back to enjoy a good result with them whilst transport cleared (buses to Gateshead home tend to be full for 45-60mins, particularly midweek with pub queues nearby the bus stop as @Dr.Spaceman pointed out not the greatest) then I’ll not have no problem simply because I believe my money will be used for the good of the club under this ownership. They however won’t force me to stay any longer that I’d want to nor will they force anyone else but if it benefits some and the club make some extra money from it so be it 🤷🏼‍♂️ Maybe Newcastle (& Gateshead!) would benefit on having a community vision for their city centres to flourish solely not based on pubs…

Thats not the point I’m making. If you read my post again. Spurs’s new ground has not stopped anyone going to the pubs they used to go to. West Ham’s did make it much harder. So to use Spurs as bad example of what we’ll end up with if we did similar is rubbish.

There’s one to debate. If you could have football atmospheres of the 90’s back but no Internet/Newcastle Online which would you choose…

That I’m afraid to say is a load of rubbish. Spurs “new” ground is in exactly the same place as their “old” ground Id of given you or anyone else a pass if you debated ending up in West Ham’s situation. Spurs fans are just unhappy with their team (again!) and are trying to encourage fans not to give the club their money and spend it elsewhere. Absolutely nothing to do with wanting their old ground back

Or LW hence me posing the question. Can’t see him getting many minutes otherwise.

It’s why I’ll always defend him. He never was a RW. He did a selfless job for the team without complaint. Managers dream really.

The discussion is Willock though. Thinking how does EH give him more minutes whilst also freshening us up so we don’t become predictable 2nd half of season. Has he ever played much RW for us ever?

Our rotational RW for rest of the season with Murphy? Discuss…

For those who watch him how’s Kane looking this season?
