Pancrate1892

I'm actually in the middle of a project putting together their whole history season to season with players, grounds and famous matches. Another connection with NUFC is that rangers second home after SJP was the same Dalton st ground in byker that was East ends home for a few seasons. It's weird seeing St James' park mentioned in 1880 as just grazing land. That bastard leazes terrace was there mind

Yes they were. They were only the 2nd association team to be formed in Northumberland and Durham after Tyne. They very likely named the patch of the leazes 'st James' park, and a lot of their players moved to East end when they folded, so they have a strong connection to the club despite their short lived existence

I would hope the club could persuade Bruno and isak to do one more year and if it doesn't meet expectations on a club and personal level then they have the clubs blessing to go the season after. But if we get our act together in terms of recruitment and keeping players fit (lessons learned you'd hope) then we make it harder for them to leave.

When you say it like that it would be actually hilarious. We could use our old contacts with mike to help them set up a sports direct in the fucking dump. We could even lay mats outside the ground after the game to wipe your feet on, on the way out

St James 52,000+ SOS 49,000 Riverside 35,000 Darlington arena 25,000+ Gateshead international 12,000 Kingston park 10,000+ Daft ones Murrayfield 67,000+ Elland road 38,000 Any others? Maybe we could rename ourselves 'newcastle rangers' for a couple of seasons and go on a tour around the different venues

Derek Wright back in the day

It makes sense. Mind, I think it would cause an uproar on both sides. Some of our lot (me included) would absolutely hate venturing in Sunderland every 2 weeks and sitting on their red/pink seats. They'd probably go on the next 100 years how they bailed us out in aid of our super project. Be interesting to see the results of a poll on whether you would be willing for Newcastle to play there for 2 years.

It looks like the Scouse could hoy another tier on the Kenny dogleash stand and realistically they are done at 70k. The kop is hemmed in by a major A road, they could rebuild it but it would look odd, a bit like that stand at the old dell at Southampton where it was high one one side and lower on the other. Whilst it's possible to build over there will likely be major restrictions. There is also some buildings in close proximity however history suggests they are good at getting people to move.

Shit. my dream has just been destroyed

I agree. It would probably be more economical (but by no means perfect solution) to build 2 stands at Gateshead behind the goals, whether they be temporary or permanent structures. Maybe the club could develop a relationship like we had when we had reserve team football there and help upgrade their facilities a notch.

Hey...the flag is wrong

Bring him home

It's a very good point about west ham, despite all the negative press about their new home, they've still bumped up to over 60k by the simple fact that the space is there to be filled. The club will simply adapt to the new platform like we did from 36k to 52k and probably again a new average attendance of 65k

Shite. And I thought that was a good idea

I reckon take out a couple of rows of seats and have a man driving a tram fuckin thing with a stall on it. He has ready made pints and burgers and you just flash your card and passes you the shit. If your sat away from the food and drink monorail your basically fucked

It won't happen. They know they'd lose support. I know things change but Newcastle moving out of the city is the same as Milton Keynes dons for me. I'd rather just go to the bars in town than traipse to some industrial estate or backend of neewhere.

I reckon there's only 2 options for most people. 1. Stay at st James park. 65000 max 2. Move to castle leazes/town moor for a 70000 stadium with potential to expand further. Either is fine by me. Fuck that shit on the arena site, we need the castle on the hill.

Seems to be a pattern developing with isak. He comes in, looks sharp, looks a threat. Then every game seems to drain 10-15% from him where he eventually reaches zero and is officially 'injured' Has anyone had a groin/hip injury? I know it can develop into a snapping hip syndrome where with each game rather than get sharper, you get less mobile and can't kick through the ball. Would explain why his choice of finish is always the low curler as it hurts the least. Just a thought. I'm thinking he definitely needs an operation to put whatever injury it is right, otherwise its 6 games in, 6 games out.....

What was the score?? 2-1? One of the exceptions from a total pounding? Mitrovic was 6-1 city and I think Murphy was 3-1 city.

I think we'd be unwise to look elsewhere for another manager. We are talking about him being punished for his own success and for his loyalty to players who helped him achieve that. I think if he's still playing Dan burn left back next year then yes, he's clearly not taking us to the next level, but surely he knows that a dynamic leftback is the priority for next season. We just didn't have the money to do it this season due to being well and truly fucked by the authorities A CM was the priority, and livramento was too good a player to pass on. I guess Barnes was Maxi's replacement even though I would have kept maxi.

Who was the last player for us to score at their ground? Murphy? Mitrovic? Out of every team that's went there in the last couple of decades we must be the lowest scorers

Terrible clearance. Tony Adams would have had that out the stadium

Very similar. Especially the second goal where he came off his line a bit and made it harder for him to see the ball, before he knows it, it's despatched in the nice generous chunk of the goal exposed

Every team knows it, get behind the ball against Newcastle, save energy, let them have a dozen passes, steal ball, run, score goal
