loki679 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Mate is a freeman and he’s heard nowt I've not heard nowt, and I can graze my cows on the moor. On a side note I wish they'd get rid of archaic shit like this. Why? It protects Newcastle green lands etc from the scrupulous. Don’t mistake Freeman with Freemasons. Everything we do is charitable and for the good of Newcastle. Hereditary status is an affront. Keep the freemen if you want but award the title to people who actually deserve it, not people who have it because someone else did something. An affront to who? What if there is no one derserving of it? Then no-one gets it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcnick Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 So Fly Emirates sponsoring Arsenal’s stadium and shirt as well as sponsoring referee’s and the FA Cup isn’t a problem, but this is? Aye ok, whatever. This is probably BS but the example you give isn't the same. The owners of Emirates don't own Arsenal and then sponsor another club. Think he's talking about Man City owners and Arsenal's sponsors. People keep getting this mixed up, Emirates are Dubai based and Man City’s owners are Abu Dhabi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not rocket science, there are probably hundreds of people deserving of some honour every year for their work, pick a few and make them freemen. Turn it around, why do you deserve it?

I have the same outlook as you hence my hesitation in the first place to become one. Since becoming one I see the good work they try to do for the city and just as importantly what they’ve stopped many various councils doing. See us as no more than well meaning conservationists of Newcastle. Shame Strawberry Place hadn’t fell under our derestriction.

Whilst I’m with you in sentiment in regards the The likes of the duke of Northumberland being a greedy twat and robbing his “people” blind in the interest of amassing even more money he was born into. This is in effect a patch of grass in the town and the freemen are entrusted with its protection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense tbh, as a Newcastle fan you wouldn't really want the owners of our club investing in Man U. Fuck them. On the downside, looks like this isn't going to go through until July 31st at the earliest. But at least there's a date assuming that is true.

Guest chopey Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The longer this goes on the more confident I am that it's going to be a huge investment along the lines of Man City, the Directors test has gone way beyond checking if a bloke has had a dodgy background and into the realms of multi billion pound TV deals and huge sponsorship negotiations. The Premier League are getting their ducks in a row for a massive financial investment that has been brewing from Saudi for a lot of years now and it looks like it's falling on us.
