Club doing a ballot supporters event now. Attendance chosen by ballot.

I know people, understandably, have reservations as to whether these events are just tick box exercises, but if no-one bothers then there’s even less chance of any positive changes.

 

Sure @bobbydazzla would be keen to offer them his views on the ballot system…

Ballot Working Group Supporter Event

Newcastle United are committed to working alongside fans to improve the ticketing experience for all our matchday attendees. After direct consultation with over 600 supporters on areas of fan interest at our recent We Are United event, we are pleased to announce the first supporter workshop on the ballot process.

The primary focus of the workshop is to help shape further enhancements that reflect the needs of supporters. It will allow fans to deliver feedback and propose ideas for the consideration of our Fan Advisory Board and the Club at large as we move forward in creating strategic dialogue between supporters and the Club’s key decision makers.
  
To enable discussion between a wide range of fans, there are both in-person and online spaces available; you will have the option to select your preferred mode of attendance when completing the availability form. Should the event be oversubscribed, attendance will be allocated via a ballot system.

Please click the link below to register your interest in attending this event no later than 12pm (UK time) on 13 February 2024.

Attendees will be notified if they have been successful by 4pm on 14 February 2024 (UK time).
 
Please be aware that this event is invitation only, for supporters aged over 18.

Controversial but I’d probably prefer we bin it. Only problem is what would you have in its place…

Ah, I thought you meant the ballot! 
 

Although, what to replace it with is probably just as controversial!

Got a few full matches I found on YouTube that I've saved in a Google doc, mainly for when I make match threads. Only a handful as I use highlights mainly.

 

1993-94

None from 1994-95 or 1996-97 outside of highlights. Your best bet is probably Footballia, they have a few I think.

Been watching a few of these again over the last week or so. Was honestly laughing nearly non-stop watching the West Ham one. People talk about teams dominating games these days and generally they mean controlling possession, winning battles, making your moments count etc, but watching us in that West Ham match you can see that we were a one off, there was no controlling possession or anything like that, it was 90 minutes of relentless attack after attack without ever stopping for a moment to control things, it's insane. Within 2 minutes Phillipe Albert is attempting a scissor kick on the edge of their area.  By the end, these are the stats:

Remember being there and was absolutely mental game. They spent more time kicking us than the ball, two great goals and totally battered them.

Watched that whole match with me fatha last year. Just relentless, attack after attack. That it was only 3 is a joke. Also fewmin at that incorrectly disallowed Ferdinand goal.

Pretty shite result when you factor in the XG to goals ratio.

Their keeper (Les Sealey) was legit exhausted at the end.

Think there was a frustrating fortnight or more delay before we could get it out of our system through the FA Cup/internationals. Poor West Ham faced all that wrath.  Tino's assists and goal are sublime.

 

re Hayden's post in KI's above:None from 1994-95 or 1996-97 outside of highlights. Your best bet is probably Footballia, they have a few I think.

 

is someone looking for full games of ours or from Italy for those two seasons? I've got quite a few from each category

Yeah you could tell he was milking the moment, being a rare appearance for him.

Had some keeping entertainment that season between him Schmeihcel and Vinnie Jones.

I'll die on the hill that this game was more one sided than the 5-0 the following season. Which just makes me think that Keane is clueless as an analyst of the game, given the fact he continually downplays Schmiechel's impact on that Man Utd side. Put Schmiechel into that Newcastle team and Man Utd don’t get within 20 points of us that season.
