mrmojorisin75 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Latest information released by NUSC: The Rally arranged by the Newcastle United Supporters Club on Sunday is planned to raise NUSC's desire for Newcastle United Supporters to unite together in support of Newcastle United and where it stands in our hearts. NUSC believes that this is a critical point in our season and that unity is strength when it comes to shaping the future direction of the football club both on and off the field. The timetable is as follows 2pm - entertainment by the Newcastle Drum Band 2.30pm speaking opportunity 2.50pm - musical interlude 3.00pm - second speaking opportunity 3.10pm - live music from "Oh Lads" 3.20pm third speaking opportunity 3.30pm musical finale and orderly disperse to St James' Park for what hopefully will be great performance and three well-earned points for the lads come 6pm. (These times are flexible and may be liable to change) the "staging" area will be at the south side of the monument facing down towards Grey Street. The whole emphasis will be on generating a fun, carnival atmosphere. We hope to have flags and banners on display, and welcome supporters to bring along and display their own flags. There will be an opportunity for those who wish to, to take up membership of NUSC. Some members have requested that NUSC petition the executives of Newcastle United therefore members will be seeking support for the petition during the course of the rally. There will be stewards on hand, wearing high visibility jackets who will be there to assist anyone who requires help and a low key but nonetheless obvious police presence will be in the vicinity; as there would be on any normal match day. NUSC politely request that those attending the rally pay respect to those who wish to go about their normal Sunday shopping experience and allow them to do so with the minimum of distraction. We would also like to emphasise that this is not a protest and no march is planned or sanctioned nor permission requested by NUSC. realise i'm missing something here but this shit in bold has got to be bollocks right? sounds like a fuckin tree-hugging hippy festival Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noubt wrong with that. If it was just 4 blokes round a table it would end up like the other petitions and such that hang about monument. By doing this it encourages people over.

Mistle17 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 So, what exactly are the NUSC looking to gain by this 'gathering' on Sunday? Raise their awareness? Get their vision out to people? Or rally against Ashley? I genuinely dont understand what their trying to do on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I can imagine it getting very tedious very quickly. You'd think for an organization like them their first point in any advertisement would be to get their aims and objectives across.

buzza Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Ah, they took my point on board about a petition.. Well that is a lot better than I expected, drumming up more support and doing it the right way. Obviously there will be a lot of Anti-Ashley rhetoric but if they want a voice they must do this type of thing properly. As for all the positive supporters (read above posts-) we have commenting on here, this is the correct way to do a supporters club. Ask for opinion and do things in a formal manner. My opinion: I like it, they are getting up off their arsses and doing something about a situation they don't like...Brilliant!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
