The College Dropout Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 My wife once bought me something from SD and I was so angry. For a non-football fan it's hard to understand. As a football fan, that was a red-card offence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 My boycott of SD has been easy to uphold because I refused to go in long before Ashley bought Newcastle and before I had ever heard of him. I just couldn’t stand the shop and the claustrophobic feel with everything crammed altogether and piled high. Expect it is better today but have no interest in finding out. Persuaded my Mam to boycott which she still does - much to the amusement of my brothers and their wives when she goes shopping with them and will stand outside waiting for them rather than enter the store.

I certainly approve, but no doubt the wife would get VAR involved to point out that thing ten years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if I needed shoes and SD was the only place to buy shoes. I would walk home barefoot. Since he’s left I’ve softened my stance on him and his businesses. As an owner he was awful and saw the club decline almost irreconcilably. But he could’ve been a little worse and more vindictive. I guess. And Flannels is canny with a sale.

I know, it just made me laugh man. I haven't softened my stance to him at all, though. Even things like putting Bruce on that rolling contract meaning he'd get a whopping payout still annoy me. But hey, he's old news and hopefully that's where he stays, which I guess is where you're coming from. Edited March 22 by Abacus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then craning in a shipping container was more likely for new changing facilities than converting to a bar for supporters enjoyment. I find it bizarre how some people are pissed off by the slightest thing going on involving our new owners, yet were almost accepting of how Ashley let the club wither.
