UV Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 possibly a cock up however that NUFC direct website is ran by sports direct, by the looks of things a NUFC supporter going online to buy something, thinking his money is going back into the club doesn't realise that it is actually going into sports directs coffers and not NUFC's. Is it not going into NUFC's coffers? Pretty sure it still is and Sports Direct are just being utilised to replace and run the old shop system for presumably a commission or a flat fee. Holy shit. Maybe we're actually getting it for free! How exactly are you sure of this? If NUFC & Sports Direct have a sale & distribution arrangement which involves money being transferred from one to the other or services being provided for free by Sports Direct, why is this not mentioned in the Related Party Transactions section in the accounts? People assume that because something is sold with a NUFC badge on it, its a Newcastle United product; but if Sports Direct produce and sell the clothes & merchandising and just stick a NUFC badge on it, then it is a Sports Direct product which the club is "advertising and promoting". This would be covered by the related party transaction clause and not a penny of any sale would need to go to the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 A few members here have spoken in the past of signing up to the 10 year deal, but then cancelling it? Was that just a case of cancelling the direct debit or is there a genuine direct route out? Your season ticket DD can be cancelled whenever...however if it cancelled before that seasons 'term' is paid for, you'll be unable to attend matches from when the DD is cancelled. You can wait until February iirc and your season will be paid for, then cancel the DD, which will enable you to go to games for the full season, and then be ST free after May. If that makes any sense. It does, thanks. And there are no charges to be incurred from cancelling the DD? Just something I've wondered, as I assumed the 10 year deal was more binding than that.

Not my knowledge mate, looked into it when they appointed JFK but just couldn't bring myself to send the email. Looked at the T's & C's before I signed the deal and noticed you can cancel at anytime as that's what I was afraid of too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Mattypnufc is spot on... There is no tie in which is why it was always a no-brainer to sign up... Cancel your DD in feb allows you to watch the full season as you've effectively paid for all the games... Cancel it before Feb and access to the ground will be cancelled...

Was that just a case of cancelling the direct debit or is there a genuine direct route out? I e-mailed them at the start of the season explaining that I my Mrs had a baby on the way and for them not to bother sending me a season card out as I am not interested. Ended the e-mail with 'btw, I have cancelled the Direct Debit, so I expect no more charges.' I think I am still a member, weirdly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 If this fucking bellend could see what today was, and what this group of players would be capable of with a stronger manager and some decent investment in the squad...that's all he has to do. The crowd will turn up, it will buy shirts, it will be buzzing, and he can enjoy his merry fucking life and peddle his cheap fucking sports direct brand around.

Oakie Doke Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Really happy for him. Despite all our moaning and suffering it's nothing compared to what super fan Mike Ashley has to endure. A small part of him dies every time we play poorly and I know how much this result will have meant to him. Have a good one, Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd will continue to turn up and buy shirts regardless though. If we go on a ten game losing streak, and Fat Mike goes to every season ticket holders house personally, and shits on their living room floor, they'll still turn up. So why should he spend money when he can do it on the cheap? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You noticed it's not just me now, it's most of the forum sick to death of you? You do yourself no favours posting bollocks like this TT. Why not just post your opinion about the issues like most people do? All I've said today is that we should get the right credit for this win. I've never said it proves everything is fine or we're suddenly brilliant. You must know this, I can only conclude you ignore it on purpose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
