George Bailey Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Mike Lowes has resigned. Soup clearly isn't regarded as food by the journo brigade. (Personally agree with them, awful stuff. Just gravy or a sauce without the meat.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Only Newcastle could ban a string of journalists, face a blizzard of negative media and then decide that now is the right time to take away the free food in the press box. All Premier League grounds are obliged to provide hot meals to the men and women of the international media. In Arsenal's case, this is usually some kind of lightly grilled, university-educated fish doused in a sauce so fragrant that you'd happily bathe in it. Newcastle, by contrast, do a cup of soup. And a roll, if you get there early. On this day, the press corps took matters into their own hands, a delegation was dispatched to the nearest bakers and an impromptu free buffet of sausage rolls was laid on. Of course, when compared to all of Newcastle's real problems, this is a very trivial thing. You might even ask why journalists are fed for free anyway. Most people have to buy their own food at work, and when "work" involves watching top-level football for free, it can seem like a rather unnecessary bonus. But why seek to alienate the people who report on your every move? It's not great PR, especially if the very next thing those people have to look at after pouting at your soup is your giant scoreboard, flapping perilously in the wind. ______________ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 In isolation the move itself isn't that significant tbh. No food for the press? So fuck etc. I just get the impression that, although there's no obligation t provide food for the press or give out tickets to the backroom staff and so on, it's sort of the done thing by big clubs. Yeah it probably costs a few quid if you tot it up over the course of a season but it's not that much relatively speaking. The negative publicity it's created simply adds to the small-time mentality the club are fostering atm. Don't think Ashley gives the first shit about being popular but it's another stick to beat them with when added to the banning of local journos. (Most) Football journalists are the scum of the earth imo but keeping them onside, whilst it may stick in the throat a bit, may benefit over the medium/long term. It's one of those things you just have to grin and bear in life, you don't like or agree with it but it's accepted and could potentially be of benefit in the future.

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 to be honest football really does seem like an industry that needs an outsider to come in and blow it all apart for the good of everyone, sadly mike ashley is not that person he's just a cheap cunt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 He's turning us into a cheap small time club. Also - this is another reason why our commercial revenue is so low. Ashley has no idea how to cultivate a classy establishment and get the service on point. I bet the boxes at SJP are terrible. At Chelsea you can have a whale of a time in the boxes without even watching the football. The revenue lost i'm sure is significant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
