Or go to the RVI as your wife has given birth or go help the the police as your cows are wandering down Claremont Road. Both true. The first one used to be a regular occurrence.

At the minute it's like being back in the 90s (Though that's not all bad :)) Used to love the tannoy announcements during the match in the 90s telling someone their wife had just gone into labour or that their car was blocking the road.

So you’ve kinda proved my point 🙂 Yeah seen that bit but thought might missed something. If giving people WIFI to check the scores or replays etc is stops them watching the match that's on them. I doubt these people bring much to the atmosphere anyway. Also pretty handy to be able to be contacted in an emergency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also made meeting people a lot easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) There’s plenty of wifi in the ground as i often spend half time trying to guess the passwords. I’m pretty crap at it though. Surprised they’ve not considered offering wifi for half time at a quid a game or something.

Chris_R Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Why do you need WiFi to be contacted in an emergency? If it's urgent, they're phoning you not sending you a facebook message. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most main networks support WIFI calling, considering the networks are fucked in Newcastle for an hour before the match and an hour afterwards, WIFI provides an alternative for a phone signal.

Heron Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I feel the need to add to that... It might be their personal preference or the one thing they'd change for them, but as trust board members surely it extends beyond what would be good for them. Like surely, safe standing, affordable tickets, inclusion, any one of a number of topics would be better than WiFi for me like. I doubt WiFi is top of the list of things they'd change at the club for like 95% of match going fans. Each to their own like, but it's fanzine/blogger/vlogger crack that I just don't get at the match tbh. Maybe I'm old fashioned. But getting away from everything and singing for my team for 90minutes is how I like to spend my match Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough podcasts etc seem to be the future, but think rubbing shoulders with the likes of Caulkin and the odd player seems to have gone to their head. Certain board members seem very comfy in their padded seats in the Milburn and a little out of touch if you ask me.

Likelylad Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 There’s definitely a lack of variety with the current song book like and a fair few classics no longer get much of an airing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IzzyIsak Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) "United (clap clap clap) United..." needs to come back and not with fucking "toon" instead of the claps Blaydon races to be sung more often, slower with correct words. Even the likes of "Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle" and "geordie boot boys" hardly get sung now. All you seem to get now is bruno in the middle, eddie howes b&w army, whos that team we call united. It's a bit dull. Edited January 24, 2023 by IzzyIsak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
