Guest neesy111 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I'm I assuming this will be called the Sports-Direct.com stand soon? And not the Gallowgate end which is should fucking be!!! ain't it officially the newcastle brown stand? Nope, hasn't been for a few years. They paid sponsorship for that.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I'm I assuming this will be called the Sports-Direct.com stand soon? And not the Gallowgate end which is should f***ing be!!! it will always be the Gallowgate. It always was with the older generations with it was the Exhibition/Newcastle Brown. It just won't be printed on tickets etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The_Scoreboard Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 hope we are getting a decent Embarrassment fee for this can see it from my seat and wouldnt be so bad if it was a better company, just not SD.

GM Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 In terms of it's visual impact, it's no worse than a TV channel ident the likes of BBC THREE or whatever have in the top left corner of the screen. If the quality of the football is good enough, you're simply not going to notice. But I guess that's the real point though, isn't it - the quality of football on show at the moment is disappointingly poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Well said GM, people SHOULD be watching the pitch, not the roof of the fucking stand so many pretentious whingers in this thread/forum Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 What do we gain out of having these signs? Not really read a lot about it. From an aesthetical point of view, it goes without saying it looks utterly terrible - but if there's a significant financial gain to be had then i can probably live with it.

They're possibly being used as a means of reducing the loans to the club, put x amount of pounds onto the revenue but reduce the loans by the same amount rather than receiving any cash benefit from it.

broonalegeordie Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 the only way that roof would look good with a sponsors logo on would be if we were sponsored by Babe Station and had a pair of big boobies on there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 could have atleast painted the logo black for fuck sake, that looks horendous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ7 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Can't cost that much to hire a helicoptor and throw paint out onto it. They would probably clear it up, but it would still be quite funny, especially if it was the night before a game or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timnufc22 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 The point isnt that if the football was good we wouldnt notice it, the point for me is that it shows no respect for the prestige of the stadium, the picture speaks for itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Also, they had kind of started to heal the wounds with the fans, then they go and shoot themselves in the foot again. It's just a silly move IMO, as a proof of concept it's only proved that no company in their right minds would want to sponsor the ground. We heard to dog's abuse Sports Direct was getting from the fans yesterday.... if anything they're harming their brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We heard to dog's abuse Sports Direct was getting from the fans yesterday.... if anything they're harming their brand. I wouldn't be surprised if the club put a lot more stewards in level 7 corner after the mackem game to stop the kids moving into that area. They are moving from the family area into the corner when they haven't got tickets to sit there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I've heard that and watched them wandering along from the top tier of the Milburn just before kick off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been going on since the Blackpool game and getting worse with every game, I'm expecting the seats to go for the mackem game then it will be back to normal after that and they'll move again.
