Wullie Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I can't say I'm going to get all worked up over a jumbo screen/ score board. The majority of big stadiums have them these days. There's more important things to be annoyed about. IMO all they do is provide good photo oppotunities when you take a pasting. I've got all the pictures of the scoreboard saved from every arse kicking we've given the mackems at their place over the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm sure I read somewhere that we're the only league stadium without a scoreboard of some kind. That may have already been mentioned, but I haven't read the thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 NEWCASTLE United chief Derek Llambias has revealed the club's stadium will change its name to Sportsdirect.com@ St James’s Park for the rest of the season. The Magpies' Managing Director said the club will change its name to demonastrate how the naming rights sell-off will work. He said: "We are basically looking to explore and maximise our revenues. "We have a great opportunity at the moment because our sponsorships are coming to an end. "We have a kit sponsor, shirt sponsor and stadium rights sponsors. "Our intention is to put a package together that would include the stadium rights which would include a jumbo screen which is great for the fans as well. "Our intention is to have Sports Direct.Com@ St James's Park, we are never going to lose St James's Park. "At the moment the Gallowgate End is Sports Direct.Com, we'd like to follow that through and take it for the rest of the season as a showcase as Sports Direct.Com@ St James' Park." "We know the history, it is incredible and it is very passionate. "There is an ownership to it and the history is wonderful, we are not trying take it away, we are just trying to add to the revenue to our club." http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-utd/newcastle-utd-news/2009/11/03/derek-llambias-reveals-st-james-s-park-name-change-61634-25084343/ :| Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I hate it. But St. James Park is still in the name, kind of. So at least that is there. I guess? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Erm, no. I would physically throw up if I ever heard anyone refer to our ground as the "Sportsdirect.com @ St James Park stadium". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 What? That's just laughable. For the rest of the season? Who's going to start calling it that now? WORST FUCKING IDEA I'VE EVER FUCKING HEARD SINCE THE LAST FUCKING ASHLEY IDEA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 To be honest, no-one will actually call it that, and if it makes some money for the club then great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 In all seriousness, we should have a whip round and get some of the lads off the 28 Days Later forum to climb up in the dead of night and tear that hideous Sports Direct logo off the Gallowgate.

Wallace Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Never knew that the Gallowgate End was called SportsDirect.com - just always thought that sign was cheap advertising for them. Bet they have just decided that this week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
