Yorkie Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hello! Some of you may have been a part of this community long enough to remember Newcastle-Online 'the website' - connected to the forum but viewed separately - which hosted various articles and features about the club. With the parasite finally gone and (hopefully) the club on its way to rejuvenation and redemption - some of us thought it might be an idea to bring the website back, for no other reason than to spread the joy. There's talent everywhere across this forum so this is very much about providing the opportunity for a creative outlet to anyone who'd like to get involved. If anyone would like to generate topical content (be it articles or anything else you can think of; run social media channels, produce a podcast - whatever you like), we're inviting you to stick your hand up if you're interested. There's no pressure here. It would be good if there were a few who fancied producing content on at least a semi-regular basis, but if those people aren't out there, that's fine. If there are some who fancy doing just a one-off contribution, or just occasional things from time-to-time, that's fine too. The purpose of this is to present the idea to everyone; to ask if you think it's something worth pursuing, and to open the floor to anyone who'd like to get involved. None of this is going to happen overnight obviously, but (thanks to @HUGZ) we can be ready to go quite soon and have one or two bits of content already, including one cracking feature article from a poster here and an open letter to the club itself. So over to you, really. Does anyone fancy this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Sounds like a good idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-more Mag Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I would happily consume additional quality content. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky Jim Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Not sure about a regular basis but could give an insight into the “joe Harvey” 60’s period and the fairs cup, for those who might want a bit of early history? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, not sure i could contribute but getting some of the views and ideas that are expressed on the forum out to a wider audience is something that needs to happen.

et tu brute Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Yeah it would be canny that, I’ve been going from the mid 70s home and away until the season before Rafa left, when I said enough was enough. So have a few things be good to contribute with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espio Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Happy to help out building the website Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Love this. I didn't really ever read the main page (mostly went straight to the forum) but I'd love for us to put it back up and let it show the voice of the community we've built here.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Happy to help with stuff like UX, proofreading, editing, content advice etc etc. I'll try not to go on about it. Also could write but not sure how inspired I'll be if everything isn't terrible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Happy to contribute articles from time to time, lest we forget this is how Hopey started Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I never knew of this but I think its a great idea. When the likes of the hideous 'Mag' & NUFC Mattters or whatever its called, pretend to represent the typical NUFC fan, we need some balanced views. Many posters on here are capable of offering those, I'm all for it. I can help in a monetary sense, but my writing is awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbee909 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Anything audio related, I could lend a hand here and there! Even if it's just a bit of clean-up of audio or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manorpark Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I have a lot of material about our 1969 Fairs Cup win . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I can't read enough about Newcastle right now, particularly from people that care about the club. But actually my interest in football in general has come back too. So, it might not work, but it's surely worth a shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Can help with the website or run social media channels. Would love to write articles some times but couldn’t commit to a consistent thing at the moment, just one offs every now and again maybe. Happy to help with anything really because I’m on here all the time anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Love the idea, hope it takes off. Things are a bit mad for me right now, so all I can do is take part in a podcast - the lazy part which involves no effort Let's see if things calm down, going forward. We need a decent voice for suporters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Would be listen to an @middsand @Wullieor something every week like. Wish I could contribute to anything like this, but don't get to watch enough games and I'm also rubbish at writing, so would be fairly useless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Vaguely remember rather lengthly match previews. Every once in a while somebody posts a rather lengthy and inspired post. Be nice to see those posts "promoted" to a main page where they might catch the attention of readers who can't bother to read through entire threads.
