Their role is to support our club by helping to create a cracking atmosphere for our fans and players - they’re nothing to do with international games (don’t think any flags have been done previously for England etc?).

Amir_9 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 There is a big Saudi Arabian international student community in this country whilst the support for NUFC in Saudi Arabia is growing so there is no doubt this is to cater to this specific crowd here. I mean I am sure we have had rugby/non-NUFC events at St. James' park before so I don't see this as that much any different. However at the same time I do also understand the perspective that the club is being used as a tool to promote Saudi Arabia but this was always going to happen with an Arabic gulf country having ownership in a Premier League club to some extent or another PSG Qatar Airways. Man City Etihad etc etc, I know this is a level above but as long as there is solid strategic planning, growth and investment into NUFC and their biggest priority is NUFC then I do not really care much for this.

PauloGeordio Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 This is revenue, club promotion and extending and growing our fan base as much as it is a chance for folk to go and see 2 national sides play a game of football at a very reasonable price for a family.
