toon25 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 As I mentioned in another thread, this club and it's infrastructure is more akin to a rotting corpse than a blank canvas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I think the Newcastle council should get on board, fuck this electric car bullshit off. Turn all the roads in the area into sand, import 250,000 camels to purchase and hire, a few water holes for a refill, and we all go about our business.

RS Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I’d like Greggs to run the food or at least have local themed, branded fast food and local beers in the stadium. Geordie burger: sausage roll in a bun with a slice of cheese instead of lettuce, a slice of cheese instead of tomato and a slice of cheese. Full pickled onion in lieu of gherkin.

With that in mind, a couple of us (me n @HUGZ ) have been thinking that it could be worthwhile actually putting something in writing from Newcastle-Online to the club. I think that this place is one of the better representations of Newcastle fans on the internet because, though not everyone aligns on every subject (why/how could they?), there's a common thread in that everyone just wants what is best for the club. For that reason I see no reason as to why we can't think big and introduce ourselves to the hierarchy, particularly at this moment when Staveley et al have fan engagement very high on their agenda. Additionally, I've seen a couple of posts from different members - each of which have got a bunch of likes - about bringing the website back, or something along these lines. Doing stuff under the N-O moniker that is positive and effectively reveling in the delight of being in a post-Ashley era. Not talking about any changes to the forum itself; just adding something additional. Engaging with the club could be the first step on that road? If there's no obvious reason not to write to the club, is there anything else that people think we should include in the message? And regarding the prospect of perhaps creating a bit of light-hearted content under the N-O banner, is there anyone who'd fancy being involved and/or bringing one or two ideas to the table? Just seen this post. Think it’s a really great idea. Definitely worth discussing the development of NO. My own perspective from a good few years of community work is that often exciting and vibrant community efforts can die when they become formally constituted and management boards are set up. It tends to bring politics and arsehole personalities out (see the Trust as an example). The idea of doing something ego-free with NO is great. Perhaps try and be a really great and fun fan group without massive lofty aims? Like just build a really good community of fans, with plenty of opportunities for connection be it virtual, at matches, events… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Also, with podcasts - think something like that could work, especially if it is an alternative to the usual talking heads NUFC shite patter and had a different slant. I kind of hate football podcasts that talk relentlessly about the football or football club 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo_11 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Some really good suggestions in here. I really like the thoughts of local businesses having the opportunity around food or drink, although probably should stay away from themes like " French Day" as can only see that going one way... The Fans Forum is a must to return and arguably has to given the need for the club to engage with fans and calls around transparency. I'd bin off the fan sponsor challenge at half time and bring back youth getting a 5 minute chance to show off (maybe link into the Foundation for participants to get opportunity to have a small kick about on the pitch). 100% half time hero needs to return - always used to be a boost and some learning about those players from 60/70s who made appearances. Is it worth adding a poll to this with some of the suggestions which have cropped up as might get more members see then vote so if you do put anything forward you're putting forward something that a few people have an interest in? If you go down the anonymous moniker for NO route you'd probably be onto something, worked a treat under umbrella movements like AshleyOut as more of a collective and less likely to have "a face". You also take away the narrative and subjective opinion i.e. if Luke Edwards wrote it then I already think it's not going to be very good because of xyz. Obviously goes without saying they would need to be vetted (no SaudiMags4Life movements)... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this exists already in the podcast world, but there has been an intrigue why posters that aren't born in Newcastle (especially those not in the UK) have an affinity to NUFC. We've got fan clubs around the world - would be interesting to see what the reaction around the world has been like taking all the cultural considerations on aboard plus you're catering to a diverse audience. You could even review past NUFC European adventures linked to that country as a bit of a throwback before a hopeful return to the European days!

Yeah, if we did a podcast I'd love to feature posters from around the world to tell their story a bit. Fan tales another terrific shout.
