Guest Jungle Barry Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Whatever happened to the badge that used to be on the leazes? Should've put it on the gallowgate when they started the extension. I doubt he'd put sports direct on the shirts, by doing that he's closing off a lucrative income stream As everybody else has said though, who cares Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thenorthumbrian Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I liked it when the ground was simple and the only sign was the Newcastle United on the front of the east stand. With plain coloured seating and no words picked out, and not even a flashy electronic scoreboard I think it marked SJP as being as bit distinctive from a lot of other stadiums. The Sports direct sign does look cheap but fooball is like that these days so theres no point moaning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest saintscoobz Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 That picture taken by a spurs fan is awesome. Not that bothered about the advert on the stand. I think it is a cheap price for having the clubs debts written off. At first though i was a bit shocked by it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest interceptor Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 MA has paid off all of our debt, nearly £100m, so I think we can begrudge him a prominent advert for his company... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edd Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 what a good photo! seriously though, it does make one of the best grounds in England look like an out-of-town retail park. Wouldn't some club crests or THIS IS NEWCASTLE or black and white stripes all the way along look better? I don't think you've quite grasped the principle of advertising.

Guest NorwegianMag Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 On another note, hope we go back to fully white goal nets very soon. Agree on this one! Sick and bored of those nets that we use now. When I see Newcastle matches on tv, I always have to wait 3 or 4 seconds before I realise that it was a goal. Bring back the old nets!

Dokko Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I agree, for £100m its fine by me. And if his future money gets us back on our feet, it can be on our new strips as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 £200 million for the club, plus £100 million written off in debt. For £300 million and getting Fat Fred out of the club he can put whatever he wants on any stand imo... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 For spending so much of his own money on the club, wiping out all of the debt, ridding the place of Shepherd and Co and potentially giving Keegan money to spend, he could stick a picture of Camilla Parker Bowles in place of 'NEWCASTLE UNITED' and I wouldn't bat an eyelid in complaint.

midds Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 At the end of the day, it's just another advert. The place is awash with them. One more, as tacky/cheap as it looks, doesn't make any difference at all tbh. Some people have a canny warped sense of the what's wrong with the club if they're kicking off at a fucking advert.

pedro111 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 The new logo ie the mounted letters like the 'NEWCASTLE UNITED' lettering on the east stand is OK by me it is better than just grey nothingness. Ive said it a million times now and it has already been said in this thread that when they extended the Leazes the club crest that was on it should of been tranferred to the Gallowgate, it is a fucking travesty that it wasnt. And while we're at it, I want black and white seats right god damn now god damn it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously in the right proportions according to the club crest etc. but if it was done properly then I think it would look ace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
