The Merse Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 R.E.M. Would love to see them live some day! Love Michael Stipe me, a personal hero/legend of mine. Him and Kurt Cobain were gonna do some stuff together before he was found dead :'( Doubt R.E.M. will ever get back together, they did things properly in terms of sharing the songwriting royalties etc, so none of them need the money. Aye, maybe one day for a benefit gig or something? They were always a proper band for me the minute I started getting into them (early 90s along with Nirvana (found their music first)), in it for the music the most and to a man they all seem like top people with no real egos or their own self interests to ruin any music legacy. Again Stipe is up there with Kurt and Keegan as idols of mine. They all got me through some tough times as a teenager/young man in the early to mid 90s. If only Kurt never died I’m sure they would have collaborated and produced some amazing stuff Saw them live in 1984 on the life's rich pageant tour - one of the best I have ever seen and Stipe was truly wonderful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokes on me. Well they did return in 2008 to perform at Old Trafford, one of their final concerts. I had moved to middle of nowhere Canada by then. Fool me twice... Stipe is bringing out a solo album though isn't he. Likely he will tour again for that at least. In terms of people I wish I had seen. Queen with Freddie would have been at the top but I was too young to have the chance. Bowie played in Manchester a bunch when i lived there. Feel stupid on that one for sure.

TheGuv Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Newcastle is such a small city as well, with limited spending money in the population. Taking the fans out of the city centre would be massive. If anything the club should be embedding even further... bigger and better retail, bars you can use all week, plenty of options. Newcastle is a very large UK City, we are at the centre of the 6th largest conurbation in the UK, with a population within the City Boundary of 300,000, which is large but is small compared to our 'real' population which is understated statistically because of the "weird" local authority boundaries we have had since 1974. All of (for example) London is "in London", whereas here, large parts of "obvious built-up Newcastle" are for administrative purposes managed within North Tyneside, South East Northumberland, and Gateshead, hence the "population stats" are unrepresentative of reality. I have sometimes heard this "Newcastle is a small City" statement (when it obviously isn't) in the past, and usually it is because people are actually only talking about the City Centre. Some people call the City Centre "Newcastle" to the seeming exclusion of the rest of Newcastle. We do have a very 'compact' City Centre, but that is only less than 5% of the City of Newcastle. Anyway, I agree, we must keep the ground in the City Centre !!! We need the boundaries to go back to pre 74 tbh. I hate the whole Tyne and Wear debacle.

Very down to earth guy. He sorted us for tickets when they played Jools 15 odd years ago, got to sit at the tables away from the riff raff ?

Klaus Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 This is worth a listen if you are bored and have some time to kill. Wraith was getting some stick on here, but he speaks pretty well, and I don't disagree with him on much he says. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I find Wraith very Jekyll and Hyde. Sometimes he is spot on, then other times he's a complete moron. Like all of his Saudi ass-kissing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I occasionally agree with Piers Morgan and think he makes valid points. Doesn't make him any less of a nobhead. Same applies to Wraith. Just a cringe inducing attention whore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 FINALLY THE BIGGEST SAGA OF THE TAKEOVER IS AT AN END.#CANS #CANSFORDAYS :indi: :indi: :indi: Ameritoon[/member] As some of you doubtless know, a significant development in the takeover was first detailed by the telegraph on the 29th March 2020. Unfortunately the article was behind a paywall so in order to read it and share it with the forum I signed up for a free 14 day trial with the Telegraph. With the simple intention of reading the article then cancelling my sub. What follows is a cautionary tale of immense personal stress and perserverance.... On getting my trial and copying and pasting the article I then tried to cancel my subscription. The my account section on the Telegraph Online allows you to view your subscription but not cancel it. Nowhere in the my account section does it tell you how to cancel. Hidden deep within the terms and conditions for subscriptions I found the following: Not wanting to be on the hook for 6 months I became somewhat wary about this way of operating. Further squirrreled away was how to cancel. The text addition is a little nod to Ameritoon who has had the same issue as me. For posterirty the number to call has been down since I took out the initial subscription. It remains down to date. The game was afoot, I kick things off with this on the 29th March. So far so good. No response by the 7th April. Try the phone again which remains down so I try another address. I then try a different address on their contact us page. April 7th still well within my 14 days which expires on 13th April. Automated response. This subscriptions support link does not give you any option to cancel your subscription....this becomes a theme. April 9th another Automated response and the shotclock is ticking towards April 13th Here's those ever so helpful links they keep referring me to. Again the manage my subscription link does not let you cancel....we roll past the shot clock on the 13th of April and we wait..... Captains log, stardate April 17th Im finally thinking thank fuck this is getting sorted. Turns out that this post was basically this guy ready to send me back to the ranch: BECAUSE When we follow the link to cancel here's the options.... Their response.... Back to waiting...... 21st April thinking my telegraph email is confirmation of my cancellation... Fairly standard so far... scrolling down to the same 'helpful' links Continuing down to the bottom of the email..... Calm it down. AND THEN 27th APRIL 2020 a day that will live in infamy Had hoped that this post would be catharthic. It wasn't. I would urge everyone to stay well clear.

Tsunami Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Been told this is all done and dusted, apparently Steve Nickson is back at work tomorrow. Nobody knows what the plans are however, parts of the club need to get back to business in preparation. Bit late on the scene. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8261995/Newcastle-chief-scout-Steve-Nickson-furlough-scheme-ahead-300m-takeover.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
