Come on fellas, having that film centre based in Sunderland would have been great for the North East. We need to move away from regional oneupmanship when it comes to these opportunities. What if this film thing ends up somewhere else in the UK and brings wealth to that region? Yeah, I prefer and applaud these game-changers arriving in Newcastle, but we need to applaud any major investment in the North East, regardless of location. We are a forgotten region. There's rivalry and there's realism about regional opportunities for all.

Tears here with that. Wow. Absolute throwing the bravos out to those involved

That's fucking brilliant! What year?

Wondered exactly that too !

Excellent 😃

Fucking get in. BDB , what a bloke.

He's quickly becoming top tier.

One of the greatest words in the English language. Just saying.

Very good 😛

I did MBA at Durham, yep a top Uni. But didn't go to traditional Uni for undergrad. The irony here is, I am the classic dropout. Zero O levels(long story) But I'm not stupid, I hope anyway ... retired in my 40s. Anyway, I think we'll sign Pedro. In an attempt to get thread back on track.

I'd slightly disagree here on regional opportunities. I did an equally expensive MBA (Durham) and raised VC funding for my own startup(s). In Newcastle. Agree that London is the centre of attention for most things in UK life. But it's absolutely possible, though admittedly more difficult, in the regions.

That's a great post.

Electrifying video that. Just watched again

£50m seems to be the new £20m = going rate for a very good footballer. Inflation of footballer prices has gone nuts. Another reason PSR is not fit for purpose

I'm in the same minority

Stockpiling ahead of a transfer ban ?

😀

Agree with most of that, particularly the 90% comment, but wouldn't return in a hurry. I've visited all 102(?) UK counties lately on my meandering. An arbitrary number which means nothing really !

Went recently for a few days, totally underwhelmed by the place. Overrated

Ah good shout re: scoreboard

Trying to work out which game this is. Was looking at 30 Nov 85. Beat Leicester 2-1, but we were 2-0 up after 18 mins according to https://www.nufc.com/html/1985-86.html which doesn't match with the scoreboard there. I'm assuming Leicester based on the sponsor? Great pic nevertheless

Cheers, excellent that.

This for me too.

Thought similar.

They've ran out of winners' medals. Hilarious
