Heron Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) I think it was fucking class tbh. I kna just the reaction I'm gonna get to this comment but it is day and night from Mike Ashley's Newcastle custodianship. Look at the buzz they're creating around the club man and the city. We need to ditch the cynicism and really rally behind it. If this city truly unites it is unstoppable. Edited June 8 by Heron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) I was there in person and the stadium announcer made it worse by building up so much, saying youve never seen anything like this, youll be amazed etc. I thought there was going to be some mental drone display or something. Then there's really naff early noughties video game graphic crowd is projected on the Baltic It did then look cool when it was real footage and images I thought - I did enjoy that a lot - especially Shearer, Tino and that up there. I gather there was stuff on the river but doubt many there could see that, so maybe it looked much better on telly/stream. Seemed like there was loads there, nice atmosphere about.

Superior Acuña Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 How've the club not tweeted anything on this after all the hype? Looking for a proper view of what it looked like with the river. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 BBBDB The extra B is for Big too, cos he’s a massive projection. (What’s *that* extra B for? That’s a typo.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL7777 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I think it definitely depended on what viewpoint you had .. Those square on had a great view of the water projections and I’ll wager the official videos will look amazing .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwantcurlyhair2 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Just got back and thought it was tremendous. Thousands there and everyone appeared to enjoyed it. As Heron said light years away from the prior regime and what a showcase to promote to sponsors. Look at our support, be part of it. Sick of cynics. If you are underwhelmed what hope is there. Free night, promoting black and white. Great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 A canny way to spend the night with the bairns. Free and fun and there was a nice feelgood atmosphere around the place. For nowt, and no reason, it's absolutely class tbf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I get that it is light years from what we had under Ashley etc etc and I'm very appreciative of it but we stood in the freezing cold wind for an hour and a half to see it and I can't help but be slightly underwhelmed by it. No drones or anything. Loads there like. Amazing turn out nevertheless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyCisse Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Thought it was class. Being right in front of the mist/water feature helped it feel new and unique. As usual people have their “boring” opinions and are entitled to them are the same ones bitching about the new kit all the way up to the pre launch advert/teaser. Can’t. Won’t. Do not want pleased.

Groundhog63 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Watched a few vids on it this morning. Im not sure what people want, Las Vegas? Looked canny enough to me. Good atmosphere, something different. Buying into this narrative that we are a "special" club in a "special" city etc etc. When we do eventually win something, and we will, I can only imagine the scenes. For now I'm enjoying, no revelling, in supporting a club that's got another chance to have a go. I'm probably easy pleased mind because I can't get enough NUFC content. Wether it's players doing Connect4, darts, baking cakes get that cunt in my eyes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloGeordio Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) Commenting on the 3D light show, Peter Silverstone, Chief Commercial Officer at Newcastle United, said: "Over the past 12 months we have been blown away by Sela's capabilities in delivering spectacular experiences for Newcastle fans. The club, our fans and the city of Newcastle, will never take these experiences for granted. "From delivering the unforgettable Champions League drone show to making the St. James' Park matchday experience more inclusive for members of the Deaf community through launching haptic shirts - Sela has demonstrated that it is a more than simply a 'sponsor' on the front of our shirts. "Within the first year of our partnership, Sela has become entrenched in the local community and continues to create spectacular, purposeful memories that will last the tests of time. Sela has put our supporters at the heart of all their activities and we are so proud to have them as part of our Newcastle United family. Last night we were all one together." Ibrahim Mohtaseb, Senior Vice President of Sela, said: "We wanted to round off our first year of sponsorship of Newcastle United with an unforgettable night for the city, using Sela's capabilities as a creator of live events and experiences. We've worked hard to understand fan culture and the local community, and it was incredible to see so many thousands of people come down to the banks of the Tyne. "We hope they enjoyed this special show that celebrated the city, the fans and their club. We wanted to use iconic city landmarks to really bring that to life. Newcastle is a one-club city with such a rich history and an exciting future ahead; last night we were all one together. "We very much look forward to what the future holds for the club and our partnership. One thing we can be sure of is that as Sela we want to deliver more spectacular experiences for fans to enjoy." Sela, the leading live events and experiences company in the Middle East, is known for delivering spectacular experiences at iconic destinations which are enjoyed by millions every year. This show is demonstration of their commitment to using innovation to provide unforgettable moments to Newcastle United fans. Within the first year of their sponsorship Sela have also launched groundbreaking haptic shirts which enabled fans who are deaf or have hearing loss to feel the atmosphere of the crowd for the first time. On the eve of the club's return to Champions League football, Sela also orchestrated a UK-first football-themed drone show above St. James' Park. The futures bright, the future’s black and white 🖤🤍 Edited June 9 by PauloGeordio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
