James Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Usually, we'd get a few money spinners against the best of Scotland, Spain, Italy and Holland, a couple of games against Championship teams, or if we were feeling ambitious, a marketing tour of US or Asia. However if the board try to attempt any of that it would be embarassing. I also wanted to play Ipswich for Sir Bob, but with teams in same division and Keane at Ipswich it wouldn't be appropriate. So what to do? I'd start out with a friendly against Leeds, go and have that Deportivo game we have to play, and then head out on a tour of Scandinavia. The Scandinavians have for decades been the backbone of the clubs support abroad, but have long been neglected and ignored in favour of chocolate teapot friendlies in Asia and Majorca. About time the club thanked the Scandinavians for their support by coming to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 A few other advantages of a couple of weeks in Scandinavia would be that it would give the new squad time away to bond, and keep them away from the bright city/beach lights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Remember that one guy who was working as a spy for N-O when newcastle were in austria (?) 2 years ago, reporting how Geremi was doing in training an so on. Imagine if they came to Scandinavia, we'd have about 50 "spies" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ovesbar Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Would love it if they came here. Remember some years ago when Newcastle played Valerenga in the UEFA cup. 7 hour journey by car, and it was totally worth it. I think there were almost as many Newcastle as Valerenga fans at Ullevaal that night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Rather than money-spinners, just sort out some easy jobs who we can hopefully piss all over to get our confidence back in front of goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
