Couldn't be arsed to go to the Metrocentre is the key there. There's no such thing as 'The High Street' - it's Eldon Square/ Metrocentre. There's a handy list of alternatives to SD here: https://www.sportsredirect.com/ Even ASDA do them: https://direct.asda.com/george/men/shoes/umbro-speciali-football-boots/GEM466205,default,pd.html Must admit I didn't think of Asda

What surprises you is what little alternative there is to Sports Direct. I needed some football boots short notice on Saturday and didn't want to pay too much for them. I didn't want to go to Sports Direct and couldn't be bothered to go into the metro centre for DW sports (not sure if they are even cheap there) so I tried Windsors down Swalwell but they didn't have any. In the end I had to borrow some of me mates and order some online. He really does have a monopoly on the high street.

I have seen that one a few times flying over Burnopfield where I live and I work near the airport and seen it there a few times. At first I thought it was his but I think it’s some Northumberland tours helicopter unfortunately.

It's the people not willing to protest inside the ground that I don't understand. Tbh this battle is way more important than what happens on the pitch. Whether we survive or go down, in the grand scheme of things it matters not one bit. Rafa won't be here this time next year regardless (unless Ashley is gone) and i'd expect 2 or 3 of our better players won't be far behind him. If people are worried about not getting enough coverage or the media getting bored, a mass demonstration inside SJP to a Worldwide audience would certainly get people taking notice. I know what you mean. I think the season where Keegan left put a lot of people off protesting in the ground. One thing that really got me was during the spurs game I was sitting in the family enclosure as I took my son to his first premier league game. A chant went up of stand up if you hate Ashley and other than me and me son I could only see a couple of people around me standing up. You could see people just putting their heads down or thinking I’m not doing that. For me that pissed me right off and just showed me the problems you would have trying to do a mass protest in the ground. I’m sorry to say we now have a mix of fair weather supporters, supporters who are now just going to meet up with their mates (which is what all my friends do now but will be cancelling when Rafa leaves), the ones that genuinely believe everything is ok. A lot of your hardcore supporters that will protest have given up their season tickets in their own protest. I think there should be protests at the ground and the reason I mention outside is those fans that have cancelled their season ticket in protest can be there plus we will always get some radge kids from Elswick joining in

Exactly it has Bishop's PR all over it

@SportsDirect_CS are tweeting quite often today that needs to be hit more.

I will be going next Wednesday to the open meeting and there are a few things I hope are discussed or things I will raise. We have had a great start to the fight against Ashley on social media and protesting outside Nortumberland street SD but this needs to be ramped up. We can’t just keep protesting outside the Nortumberland street one as Ashley Can take the hit on one store and any media attention will get bored and stop covering it. We need to move on to hitting multiple stores at one time such as Metro Centre, Team Valley and Kingston park as well as Northumberland street. There was a great point made on twitter of hitting flannels when that opens. If we can communicate with supporters in other parts of the country who are willing to protest to also hit their local SD stores at the same time that would be great. We also need to be more reactive. For example, the last protest we had major media outlets that picked up the story but unfortunately due to the weather there wasn’t as many people at the protest. If we were reactive we could have said right, we will do this but then move the main protest to outside the ground near the ticket office as this is under cover and would have had a lot more people going. We just need to be able to think outside the box at short notice. The magpie group need to get the e-mail details of people willing to be at these protests so things can be arranged. The media will get bored so we need to keep coming up with new and big ways to keep the attention on this. People don’t want to protest inside the ground which I understand but surely there isn’t anything wrong with protesting before and after games outside the ground especially when the sky cameras are there.

Can I get your autograph when your famous please

Just about to say this. This week he and Talksport have changed their attitude. Even SkySports have pundits with a change of attitude. Bishop losing his grip? Ashley on his way out and no longer concerned? Sorry I'm getting confused here The first comment said that Jim White was having a go at Rafa then Stiflers comment alluded to Talksport changing and being against Ashley. What is going on

I will be heading to the meeting. I think Michael Martin mentioned on twitter about Flannels opening in Northumberland street soon and we should arrange a protest outside on the opening day.

I don’t think Ritchie is in the wrong here like. Sounds as if Lascelles has a bit of a ego and believes his own hype and needs a slap. Of course he is young and will probably learn from it.

Because most of the commercial income is being sucked straight into Sports Direct. Exactly spot on

They'll just say it's being postponed rather than cancelled. It'll happen once everything blows over... They have done it before and will wait and hope for a upturn in results. Hopefully this time though there will be no let up.

Unfortunately I’m up Eyemouth so missing this match but good luck to everyone hope the weather doesn’t put people off

Never won’t happen. I remember the game where we beat West Ham to stay up the one with that Ashley interview. All me mates had decided to go out before and after the match. Of course after that match we were bouncing. 2 of me mates have their own business and we’re in hospitality and later on when we were in Please to Meet You they still hadn’t turned up so we rang them but no answer. Then I got a video call from one of them. He was in the St James park bar and he said look who I’ve met then turned his phone to fucking Ashley. One of my other mates with me immediately starting shouting fuck off ya Fat Cunt Unfortunately we could hear them but they couldn’t hear us. I think that was the last time he was at St James. Me mate still wishes he could have fucking nailed the bastard but he had to be all grown up and look after his business Also Carroll was there obviously injured and every goal we scored he jumped up. He was also in the bar mortal probably chasing the white knight.

This is what I don’t understand. If this happens has Ashley forgotten about the absolute shit Fat Sam bought for a Newcastle. Rosenthal, Geremi, Cacapa, Faye and Smith. Only decent ones were Barton and Enrique.

Unfortunately I think your right. I said that to my mates when Ashley apologised that I thought he was lining him up. The Fat Cunts probably met again stuffing their faces with caviar and champagne.

The cynical in me would say Fat Sam is sticking up for him as he is already lined up to replace Rafa.

He would have just pissed off a load of Celtic fans as he said he would love it if Rangers got a result against them. So Rangers fans hate him anyway for his links to Ashley and now Celtic fans hate him.

He is a horrible little kretin would love to punch the fucker in that massive forehead. Also it looks like Wrighty hates him as well when he looks at him.

So what we need is a huge warehouse with loads of pc’s that continually change IP address to somehow search for paid Sports direct adds and click on them. Sounds good I have a Commodore 64 in the loft we can use

I couldnt on me phone searching for Chelsea Jersey but did on me iPad. Once I clicked it thought then went back to do it again the AD was removed so it must remember your ip address

Just used the kids iPad and I can see the AD

On me iPhone I can’t seem to see any ads with AD on them do you have to use a desktop pc to find them?
