80 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Not sure if he has an ulterior motive or whether its just his constant "I'm deliberately not attending SJP in protest even though I wouldn't have been at the game because I don't have a season ticket and don't live anywhere near the city" line that is off-putting. I imagine that is why Greg and some of the others have reacted to him. I thought people were already sick of "cockneys" trying to ruin their match experience... I think I'm right in saying he's attended a respectable number of games to be fair, especially given his circumstances - plenty of locals with less to their name. I didn't know he was a Southerner until you told us he was. It's not as though he supported Chelsea last week, Man Utd the week before and is just playing political games on here for a laugh, though. Saying that, I suppose he's more mental than most Cockneys to be hanging round here getting belts given he hasn't got £200m at stake. Not all Newcastle supporters are season ticket holders, in fact most aren't. That's not the point, imagine someone without kids of their own telling you how you should be treating your own kids "for the better of society" - you'd be aggrieved that they had the barefaced cheek to do it. I'd say a better analogy would be your brother offering you advice on how to help your son who's getting bullied at school... Even if you disagreed, you'd hopefully know his heart was in the right place for his nephew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and good on you for that. Though you have pushed for a boycott of Sports Direct, and more importantly, you've also said you would look at the possibility of boycotting all club merch and matchday sales, which, as I've said previously, does nothing but harm the club in my eyes. Both Chris and I feel very strongly about the "sponsorship" of our club by Sports Direct. We will be discussing (and in Chris' words before I get cut to pieces) ... • Fans believe the continuing and ever-increasing sponsorship packages which SportsDirect hold at St. James Park are degrading the stadium. • The Gallowgate roof • The stadium name • The logos now on the dug-out seats look awful. • Can the club reveal how these transactions work? Does the club actually benefit financially from money flowing from one of Mike Ashley’s holdings to another? We do support a boycott of Sports Direct, however, in the least antagonistic way possible, on my part we have only proposed boycotts of merch, food, drink etc on here and have not made it public. We haven't encouraged it anywhere ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how disclosing that sort of commercially sensitive information to a group of people voicing the opinion of some of our supporters is: a) ever going to happen b) in the best interests of the club EDIT: The underlying is point is why do U4N keep coming out with unrealistic aims/requests of the club. 'Bigger' protest groups have already been and tried, it's not going to work with the current regime. Why not take heed and try and work with the club, over time, you might find some of your questions answered or at least get more out of the club than we're currently getting.

Can I have a pint of whatever you're having? I'm as optimistic a supporter as you'll find but I struggle to believe Llambias or Ashley give two hoots about whether or not you think he's taking advantage of the NUFC brand to advertise the Sports Direct brand. In fact, if you were to get the chance to say this face to face (and you hadn't already thumped him) he'd probably laugh at the irony of NUFC taking advantage of the Sports Direct business to fund the NUFC business This is not supposed to be a justification for him to do what he wants with NUFC, but he's certainly not accountable to some cynical supporters who openly express their disdain for him.

80 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 • Can the club reveal how these transactions work? Does the club actually benefit financially from money flowing from one of Mike Ashley’s holdings to another? As it's no longer a PLC, what gives you the impression that the club have any need to disclose this information? Whether it's to a fan or to a competitor, the club will simply tell you that it's "sensitive commercial information" and then smile politely (if that). They don't need to do that and it wouldn't be a great sign about their intentions, though... I don't see how disclosing that sort of commercially sensitive information to a group of people voicing the opinion of some of our supporters is: a) ever going to happen b) in the best interests of the club EDIT: The underlying is point is why do U4N keep coming out with unrealistic aims/requests of the club. 'Bigger' protest groups have already been and tried, it's not going to work with the current regime. Why not take heed and try and work with the club, over time, you might find some of your questions answered or at least get more out of the club than we're currently getting. They might see that revealing a good sponsorship fee has been negotiated with a separate company by a competent chairman (Llambias) will reassure supporters who suspect the club is being used to illegitimately subsidise the operations of Mike Ashley's unrelated business interests. Help unite the fans and all that, bring in some more season ticket money. Aye, and David Cameron's Big Society is going to be a sure-fire winner because it makes sense on paper.

I'm just saying there could be some business sense in opening up and appealing to hearts and minds, eh... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
