Just returned back since posting earlier... Looks like R.E.M. is appreciated on here by more than just us two Time flies. I sold my season ticket on first season of Fat Sham too. Still do a few away games taking in grounds I’ve not been to before mainly and did a few home games under Rafa if I had guests staying who’d come to see NUFC from afar so he’s had a few quid off me but very little. No great foresight on my behalf but the KK sacking shortly after made it look that way Would be great to catch up properly when lockdown is over. I owe you a pint at least for all those lifts home. As for thread title surely Admin need to change it to “Sale Of Newcastle United: Remember Every Moment”

Definitely, I’ve expressed the same on here. It’s a lot easier to fuck a match off if it’s on some industrial estate next to an IKEA, rather than the middle of a city centre, 5 mins from loads of bars and a night out Said this for years. So what explains our (certainly when I was still going) extraordinary away support, when clearly the opposite is true, considering our fans have got to travel much further than any others? Away following is a completely different phenomenon and metric of measurement to home support. They are simply not comparable. We'll always have a good away following because we have a core of 5k who will follow us everywhere, and travel anywhere in the country, and a good amount of southern based fans for more distant trips. In terms of home numbers, you can undoubtedly attribute thousands who turn up simply because it's part of a weekend routine of drinking. Once you move that out of the city and make it more than a 10 minute walk from bars, loads of casual support will simply not bother, certainly during tougher times anyway. Newcastle is such a small city as well, with limited spending money in the population. Taking the fans out of the city centre would be massive. If anything the club should be embedding even further... bigger and better retail, bars you can use all week, plenty of options. We always have great away support. No one saying there isn’t a hardcore loyal fan base like all clubs and ours being one of the biggest. So selling out the standard 3k allocation is generally no trouble if still economically very impressive. The myth is we are a big club in just Newcastle alone and that we are parochial when in fact there’s probably more Geordies spread around the country than a lot of perceived areas in the country. London games definitely attract a different fan base compared to some of the northern away trips IMO. As the song goes “Geordie’s Here, Geordie’s There...” Aye I know, what I meant was that the football club makes up a bit part of the city centre... culturally and financially. Removing that reason to spend time in the city centre would be pretty risky. My reply was aimed bigfella[/member] and just an addition to yours Actually I’ve a question for bigfella[/member] which might sound weird Did I work with you around 28yrs ago? "Work" would be pushing the truth with you Lfee , but yes, we've had this conversation before, many years ago, when I first joined this forum. I thought we had but then starting doubting myself. Just had to set a password reminder tied in with first place of work the other day so must of set my memory ticking. Won’t forget this time. Hope you are well. I’m still into R.E.M. ... they were 40yrs old a couple of weeks ago! How old does that make you?!

The main Town Moor will never (ever) be used for any further developments. The "Freemen of the City" control it with a rod of iron (as they say!) and they feel they have ALREADY given up far too much of the Moor, for . . . Fenham Barracks, Exhibition Park, Nuns Moor Park, Newcastle United Golf Course, Leazes Park, and (of course) St James' Park. However, some way 'detached' from the main Town Moor is the "Castle Leazes Town Moor" area, now that smallish area may perhaps become available, providing Leazes Park itself isn't damaged, and is perhaps even extended, as Sir John Halls 1997 plans were intending to do. LFEE[/member] is this correct? In short yes. And they are my cows so get your hands off them The Freeman were fully behind the original SJH plans as Leazes Park (certainly at the time) was not the nicest.

I’d imagine without knowing him that well the biggest. Engaging the fans. I’ve followed NUFC long enough to know it takes a certain type of person for the fans to take to their hearts and it’s the ones they have have usually proven the most successful. Take off will only happen here if everyone is pulling in the same direction. It’s stating the obvious or maybe not but Klopp would be more of a success here than Pep. IMO.

Sorry to end your birthday week on a low note Maybe we should have a quiz of champions with the questions set by the relegation candidates like me and Ian W[/member] to seek our revenge

So pleased I convinced Optimistic Nut[/member] to not miss it so he beat ponsaelius[/member] When the results came in I could picture his rage

Good lad neesy111[/member] what’s your excuse?

Come join us. It’s only 4 rounds apparently so hardly taxing for someone with your knowledge

Doubt he could with FFP?

Doing what?

Fucking hell, man. I've only just wasted my life reading through the past five pages. Don't kick it all off again. I just thought it was an OMD reference Ah. Their third studio album. Souvenir being a particular favourite. Glad someone got it

Speaking of quizzes. I’m a big believer that there is no such thing as a stupid question. So after 10 years on here... how do you amend a thread title?

Fucking hell, man. I've only just wasted my life reading through the past five pages. Don't kick it all off again. I just thought it was an OMD reference

These last few pages Mind you while where at it I’m as big a Woody Allen fan as they come. Actually think he’s innocent to.
