Did I hear that segment correctly, were there plans to do the Gallowgate End? Or was that incorrectly said on that video.

 

That was when the gallowgate was standing.

Aye, but thats cos this is what SJP looked like in the early 90s

6 minutes in. Just such belief

 

Thanks for sharing, never saw that.

 

The expectations from fans man... I would cringe if it was today, but back then, despite being a newly promoted side, that's what KK made you think and want and actually believe. I know I did.

 

Its staggering what he did in that first season. He sold his two best players and two most prolific scorers and had lost Beardsley of course. To finish 3d was immense and a bigger achievement than finishing 2nd. In fact that 3rd place finish is my fave season of all time.

 

That stadium being rebuilt behind him, that was down to his leadership and ambition. Fans went from dreading going to the match because it often resulted in a defeat to believing we could win the league, all within the space of 12 months. That was the power of KK. I fucking love the bloke me.

 

He puts most of those connected with NUFC these days to shame and many in the game itself.

Would anyone here be open to a brand new towering stadium? Just curious looking at the new stadium plans for many teams and wondering what people want. Or maybe it's a full scale renovation of the current ground?

I'd be appalled to move out of St James. Significant renovations might be good but would have to be looked at seriously, at the moment the most likely one would be sports direct carved into letters 500ft high towering over all of newcastle.

I'd rather be stuck with the capacity we have then move from SJP, its the only decent thing about us these days, outside the absolute bastardisation of it with those SD ads.

yeah. IMO the thing that would best improve the stadium (and many in the league to be fair) but will probably never happen due to i guess understandable touchiness, is safe standing. The atmosphere in St James with another 10k in there would be great (i have no actual idea how much extra capacity safe standing would add mind). Visually I think it's fine tbh.

He made me dread going to the match. I was about 9 and used to sit on the Gallowgate barriers. I remember complaining about how many times I got pushed off because of the number of goals we were scoring all of a sudden.

Of all the complaints they had to listen to...

The season we've just had would have been very comfortable

Nice one, never seen that. In addition to the Keegan quotes (you could just listen to him all day, couldn't you?), it was refreshing to hear a couple of pundits actually considering a promoted team could challenge for the title. Alright, Hansen says "I don't think they'll get as far as the title" - but the fact it's even being mentioned is something we'll never hear again. It's a pity.

Off topic, but how did Ossie Ardiles go from bottom of the Second Division to the Tottenham job a year later?

 

Club legend.

 

Would have been like us appointing Lee Clark next year.
