TRon Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I didn't even know Sting actually supported Newcastle. He's definitely lost the Wallsend twang but fair play, at least he doesn't support Man U. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's definitely lost the Wallsend twang but fair play, at least he doesn't support Man U. Gordon Sumner (Sting) lived on Marden Farm / Marden estate in Cullercoats / Tynemouth and went to St. Mary's Primary. I was in his sister, Anita's class and pretty much everyone supported the Toon (and Celtic of course). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Usual array of professional Geordies jumping on a populist theme in the press, some of whom are known to like to see "all teams in the north east doing well" and would have been just as happy to make a quote for the Sunderland Echo. As they're all multi millionaires why don't they do something positive for the club and stadium they "love" and then maybe Ashley wouldn't have to come up with crackpot schemes to increase revenues ?

madras Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 one of the things that has surprised me in all this debate is that when talking to people they can't even pronounce it correctly and in a lot of cases write it as St Jamses park. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no officially correct punctuation of it as far as I'm aware, all the areas around it named St James xxxx are punctuated every fucking way possible when you look at old records going back depending on the date, the place and who wrote it down.

Mowen Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 There's a place in Bromley called St. Jame's Court. I'm pretty sure it isn't devoted to St Jame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Back to Sting... I'm sure that there was an article a few year back in the good ol Sunday Sun where it was claimed that he switched from being a Mackem to a Toon fan as a kid.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'm guessing the stadium must be named after St James, right, not St Jame. It wouldn't be pronounced 'Jamses' otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 There's a place in Bromley called St. Jame's Court. I'm pretty sure it isn't devoted to St Jame. i might have remembered correctly. apparently according to wiki St James's park tube station was for years St James' park on the tube maps "Illustrating changing practice in punctuation, tube maps up to the early 1930s show the name as "St. James' Park". From Harry Beck's first map in 1933 until the early 1950s the name was shown as "St. James Park". Since the 1950s it has had the current name.
