David Icke - Son of God Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 People go to the match because they enjoy the socialising aspect of it and because they love NUFC. Certainly isn't some sort of display of approval for the t*** of an owner. Always tickles me when people talk about not going anymore like it is a brave act of defiance. Fair enough if you've had enough, but you will be replaced. Replaced, eh..? You mean like the 20,000 who were on the waiting list for STs under KK and SJH and who have either now replaced those who have dropped out or given up themselves...?? There aint NO 20,000 waiting list now...! I think the stadium expansion may have had something to do with that, like. The stadium was expanded from 45,000 to 52,000 of which 5% has to be kept for away fans... Just saying...like...the difference is NOT 20,000.... It went from 36,000 to 52,000. That's 16,000 extras seats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymc1 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Keith Barrett, whoever he is, clearly needs to get some professional help, and not just with his poor grammar, either. The man's clearly bi-polar. Right - for those who want to do it by email: Email [email protected] with your supporter number (and probably your seat number etc just to be on the safe side) stating your desire to cancel your season ticket at the end of the current season. If you say you're cancelling with immediate effect they'll bar your season ticket with immediate effect, so you'll not get to see matches you've already paid for. Keith Barrett is one of the most loyal outstanding Newcastle United supporters in recent times. I'm very surprised you haven't heard of him, he doesn't go anymore because of Mike Ashley which is a great shame. Got some great stories from my uncle when he used to charter planes to Newcastle away games. Great bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final capacity of SJP, following the completion of the SJH and Gallowgate stands was either 42 or 45,000...it was only 36,000 before the ground was completely covered and the capacity was raised to 52,000 after the extension of the SJH stand and the Milburn. The ground could hold 29,000 even before the new SJH and Gallowgate stands were erected..check how many got in for our game with Bristol City after KKs appointment as manager in Feb 92....

Our ground couldn't hold that much you daft bastard. It jumped to 52,000 when Level 7 was built. Before that it was 36,000. Our highest PL attendances before the extension were: 93/94 - 36,388 94/95 - 35,626 95/96 - 36,589 96/97 - 36,582 97/98 - 36,783 98/99 - 36,665 99/00 - 36,619 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 My bulk payment to cover 3 years meant i paid about £480 a season. If I stay in the same seat it's going to cost me at least £602 this years price) unless I get another loyalty offer from them. So that'll be a minimum 25% hike to watch a club who haven't bought a player in 18 months. Other option is to take my nephew and get us both a seat in the family section for about £480. No hike, but means embracing middle age. Decisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Didn't realise they were putting up season ticket prices so much. Is that increase just because you were getting a cheap deal before? Yeah. They moved me down from the L7 corner and said they would honour what I was paying there. Lads who I sit with pay more than I do because they couldn't pay ahead 3 years though, so I don't think they'll make me that offer again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 you would think at renewal time they would make some sort of signing to get people to re-sign on the dotted line Maybe it's in their interests to get folks NOT to re-sign, especially those on the long deals, based on HF's post above he's paying about £25 a game. If they can get folks going "game by game" at more current prices, maybe they'll make more, lets face it, if the team was/is doing well they'll still fill the place near as damn it. #conspiracy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cant increase prices if the fans know they aren't trying for cups, aren't bustung a gut for european football and they are happy to just maintain prem status. They cant possibly increase the prices with that "business plan" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
