Belfast Mags Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Noticed in one of the Man Yoo home games a few weeks back, something like manutd.com/arabic circulating the pitch on the digital hoardings. It a big world out there guys and we're not even a pimple of the arse of it. Would be interesting to find out what other think about it though. I'm I really arsed about having Asian fans that couldn't find Newcastle on google maps? No, not really but by the same score, if those "fans" were the difference between signing good players and really good players (next level type thing) then it changes the complexion of it. Clearly football is heading in a highly money driven direction so my fear would be, being left behind by the big guns. There's no reason why we couldn't big a reasonable big global brand if we marketed ourselves correctly. Not sure if it's on the agenda though. We feel more "local celebrity" to me.

Disco Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Unless we or whoever sign a big name Asian player can't see the status quo changing unless it would over here with mass investment (glory seekers). Read on RTG Mackems are doing a tour of Korea to make the most of Ji, fair enough tbh unless the mad Micks turn up and sour relations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 We should buy some air time of North Korean TV. Have adverts with Kim Jong Il in a Toon top. "I'm so poor I can't afford to eat but I'm willing to sell my piss bucket for the new Toon shirt with Kim Jong Il 1 on the back". No offence North Koreans.

If they are then fair play indeed, hope it all doesn't work out for them It's all a number games really, here we are posting away with maybe the potential of say 10,000 people reading these posts over time (a lot of time I'm guessing) and with the click of an Enter key, Man U can "directly" reach 25-million supporters. That's half the population of England, at the stroke of a keyboard. That is powerful stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 in spain this season, real madrid have often been kicking off at 11am sunday mornings purely for the "asian tv market".....would we for the price ? Definitely, when was it that Shepherd shafted Robson after a Waffa game? Valerenga on the Thursday teatime, followed by Wolves Saturday midday wasn't it?

It a big world out there guys and we're not even a pimple of the arse of it. Clubs that are successful get this. Chelsea didn't have it at one time, now they do. Shepherd tried to spark it while in charge. We would get a taste of it too if we started winning trophies (as if...) Success BREEDS success. Oldest saying in the book, and truest.

Yup, fucking Stoke. Any progress the sport has made in this country will come to a halt when people see the shit they offer up. Hopefully the tour goes as well for them as it did for us.

cubaricho Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Our team here in Orlando is owned by the dude from Stoke City, so it's no surprise they'll be playing here. They also just announced Nottingham Forest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Craig-NUFC Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Newcastle United have confirmed their first pre-season friendly of the summer - a trip across the River Tyne to take on non-league neighbours Gateshead. A Magpies Reserve side will play against former player Ian Bogie's Heed team at the International Stadium on Wednesday, 1 August with a 7.30pm kick-off. http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20120528/magpies-announce-first-friendly_2281670_2790465?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Some guy from the Columbus Crew called me the other day about coming down for the their friendly against "Stoke City of the EPL" soon. All because I went to our friendly there last summer, no thanks dude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranBadlund Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Would be awesome with a friendly against some lower league team in the London area since I will spend a lot of time there in June/July but we're going to South Africa right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Craig-NUFC Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Last season's Carling Cup runners up, Cardiff City, will provide friendly opposition to Newcastle United in the build-up to the new campaign. Both clubs can now confirm that a pre-season fixture will take place at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday, 11 August - the weekend before the Magpies get their Barclays Premier League action underway. http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20120529/magpies-confirm-bluebirds-friendly_2281670_2791170?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
