Maybe her application highlighted some qualities the club see as advantageous for that role. Not sure if many on here complaining applied for any of the roles but it was basically like a job interview in written form. Put myself forward unsuccessfully so unfortunately no N-O influence this time round 😆 Is Adam from Wor Flags not an NO poster? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 If the club are successful then the plastic glory-seekers will outnumber us all. It isn't something which should be looked forward to, just an inevitability. NUFC's international supporter contingent will become less interesting and more plastic. I like reading about why some poor sod elsewhere hitched themselves to this club - it is always interesting. Sometimes its a player (Shearer etc), sometimes they saw an actually good NUFC side play, sometimes its the atmosphere which the club has reputation for - sometimes like @McDog it is because they actually liked drinking Brown Ale despite it giving people a hangover before they've finished the bottle (I wonder if @McDog knows that Brown Ale is traditionally known as 'dog' on Tyneside - perhaps that's the source of the handle on here?). But the 'Penaldo' brigade will outnumber us all - the weird dick-measuring twats you see on twitter going on about 'small club' and 'oil club' and which trophies count and all that shite. It all just seems far less interesting, and it is everything wrong with football, and at this point little can be done about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 10 hours ago, SteV said: It depends what she’s gonna be involved in really. The club are trying to attract new fans, particularly from overseas. If they want to consult about how to do that, and perhaps events they could hold overseas, or something of that ilk, then in many ways she’s perfect for that. Obviously there’s loads of other stuff she’d be far, far from perfect for, but as long as the club are sensible in what voices they listen to on each particular subject, it shouldn’t be a problem. I think this point a few people have made us fair enough, but that would mean she should represent ‘new’ fans. New fans and international ones are not one and the same, though obviously there’s overlap. Of course it’s difficult to put an arbitrary time limit on how long someone ‘should’ have supported the club. But surely we can all see two years is not nearly enough to have had any kind of representative experience or even know they’re still going to be a fan by the end of their 3 year term. Unless it was a position to represent U10 fans or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was 7 years old when Alan Shearer scored after 10 seconds. I found that to be very cool. 1 week later my dad whos a Villa fan told me that he'd allow me to pick a different team (than Villa) if I wanted to, and I said Newcastle. It was the last season that we were in the Champions League until this one, so I don't remember any Champions League game with us up until the Milan away game this season. Been to St. James Park several times, and I really like visiting the city. Imagine if that Shearer goal wasn't given due to handball. Who knows what club I could've picked if that goal didn't stand.

Haha yep, though you might have saved yourself a couple of decades of stress There used to be a lot of Norwegian fans who came across on ferries in the ‘90s - early ‘00s. They were often shocked at how liberal the entertainment was in the pubs of Newcastle when I would sometimes talk to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I was the type of kid to pick a completely random team, so it could've been a team like Birmingham, Bolton, Charlton, Leeds, Sunderland, West Brom, Blackburn or Middlesbrough.

Loved Italy and Roberto Baggio but didn’t know much about club football. Got into Milan and Blackburn (due to Shearer) in the fifa games but didn’t really have teams, just players. So roll on and as a huge shearer fan I supported England in Euro 96 as it was on espn2 here in the states. My dad and his brothers lived in London and Leicester for 10-15 years or so before my dad got married and moved to the US. So England was his national team of course and that helped. We just got the internet so followed him to Newcastle and the rest was history. A 27+ year long maddening love affair with this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
