General NUFC stuff

[GavMcEl]

Imagine next Summer, us back in the big league under Rafa... He makes 3 or 4 quality signings .... And the new kits are unveiled with brown ale as the sponsor and the sir bobby Robson foundation appearing on the chdrens jersey ahhha actually think I would blow me load with pride

[Kanj]

I'd imagine the reason a deal can't be agreed yet is probably the economics of the deal. I'd love for this to happen.

[Stifler]

It won't happen. They have already said they can't reach an agreement, I can't see that changing. Also the parent company of them have more iconic brands which I think they would prefer to spend their money on towards advertising than the Brown Ale brand.

We represent 7% of all football league season tickets sales.

Our average attendance this season is higher then the whole of last.

They might hate us now but they'll miss us when we're gone.

[Ronaldo]

Newcastle Brown Ale is shite like, but as a sponsor I'd prefer them over most.

 

Never heard anyone say that before, mind. From the tap it's gorgeous imo.

 

[SEMTEX]

it tastes like brown

[Hanshithispantz]

Only place I've had it on tap has been America, cannot really remember what it was like tbh. The bottles taste metalic to me though.

[Stifler]

It tastes good, but it has to be very cold to drink it.

[Ikon]

On tap it's good, I agree

[NUFCDoog]

Aye, its back on tap in the Strawberry now and is fucking amazing like.

 

I stupidly had a pint of it on tap then got a bottle later that day in another bar and it tastd horrible in comparison

NUFC have announced today that we have 37,000 ST holders.

NUFC have announced today that we have 37,000 ST holders.

Aye, I think that now includes half season tickets.

How many can they actually sell? By all accounts they have to keep an allocation back for away fans and an allocation for match day tickets as well.

3,200 for away supporters and approximately 3,000 for on the day sales would put a cap about 46k. That's a rough figure mind.

Forest down to 100 points!

The club has agreed to cover the cost of additional Tyne & Wear Metro services after the Boxing Day match against Sheffield Wednesday

 

 

Supporters attending Newcastle United's Boxing Day match with Sheffield Wednesday will be able to use the Tyne & Wear Metro system to get to and from St. James' Park after the club agreed to cover the cost of evening services.

 

The festive Championship fixture is scheduled to kick-off at 7:45pm, which falls after the region's Boxing Day services traditionally finish for the day.

 

However, the club is once again funding additional Metro services from Newcastle city on all routes until approximately 11pm to enable fans to complete their journey home.

 

Supporters are advised to plan well ahead for the match and to consider the following:

 

* Metro will operate regular trains until 11pm, after the game has finished.

* Usual fares will apply on all Metro services. Metro Mover passes will be valid for travel within existing terms of use.

* There will be no Northern Rail or other national rail services.

* Bus services will operate on some routes only before the game, with most finishing by 7pm - check with operators for details of their Boxing Day routes and timetables.

* There will be only a very limited bus service on a small number of routes after the game.

* Dedicated Park and Ride 'Soccer Bus' X50 operated by Go North East will run before and after the match.

 

The club doing good things is still a bit weird

Aye, they did it a couple of years ago as well.

I can see them asking for away matches on Boxing Day in future, if to only save on such expenses.

[Wallsendmag]

The money they recieve off sky for broadcasting the match will more then cover the additional expense I'd expect.

Does that mean tickets sold on the metty will go to the club then? Why can't metro not just run the metro?

[Guest]

More than likely just a case that we pay expenses and staff wages, etc. Metro have scored really.

[Paully]

Wenger has always praised our fans!

 

 

The Arsenal boss told Bein Sport : "My favourite stadium with biggest fanbase with the most heated atmosphere is Liverpool because there’s special vibes there.

 

Before it was Highbury. It had a special soul. Now it’s Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle was great too"

[Belfast Boy]

Does this mean free radio coverage for all games from now on?

[U2]

We’re delighted to launch the test site for the stunning new digital home of Newcastle United.

 

During this ‘beta’ phase, we’ll be giving supporters the chance to take a look around, use brand new features and feed back to us on your experiences before our big launch.

 

The content you love… for free

 

The brand new nufc.co.uk has been developed with our award-winning digital partners so that we can create and deliver the type of content you love, beautifully.

 

FREE DIGITAL MEMBERSHIP

 

YOU’LL STILL GET THE LATEST NEWS, INSIGHT, REACTION AND ANALYSIS FROM ACROSS THE CLUB BUT YOU’LL ALSO GET ALL OF OUR VIDEO CONTENT AT NO COST.

 

And the best bit? All of our content is now FREE of charge.

 

We’ve smashed through the paywall in front of the old NUFC TV to bring you a new digital membership.

 

You’ll still get the latest news, insight, reaction and analysis from across the club but you’ll also get all of our video content at no cost.

 

You can also sign in using social media accounts (or with our very quick online form if you prefer) to go ‘access all areas’ in just a couple of clicks.

 

If you're an existing NUFC TV devotee, you should have heard from us already about this exciting change and any refunds due your way. 

 

Mobile friendly

 

Whatever your device or browser, the new nufc.co.uk is fully responsive. There’s no need to use a separate app.

Just visit the website wherever you are and we’ll work our magic in an instant; giving you the best experience possible.

 

Don’t miss a moment

 

With our new match takeover, you won’t miss a second of the action.

 

Our homepage will automatically go into ‘matchday mode’ on the day of a game so that we can take you straight to wherever Rafa and the team are.

 

As we continue through the beta phase, we’ll re-run the matchday experience for recent games so that you can experience our new-look match mode and let us know what you think.

We hope you’ll love using the new nufc.co.uk and we welcome your feedback.

We know you’re desperate for us to improve our online ticketing experience - and so are we!

 

Following the launch of the new nufc.co.uk, our next development phase will include tickets.nufc.co.uk. We hope to have it up and running for the start of our 2017/18 season and we'd like to thank you for your patience and continued support in the meantime.

 

The club just keeps getting things right
