In actual distance yes. Road and rail network means it is quicker to get to Huddersfield from Newcastle than it is to get to Burnley.

Aye, that's what 'closer' means.

Well, no it isn't. The comparative adjective of close is not defined by distance alone.

Swansea even more isolated than us

 

Also Burnley (Turf Moor, at least) is actually closer to St James than Huddersfield, contrary to what most people seem to think

 

I'd think our fans will have to travel further than Swanseas next season.

United tops global brand growth list

 

Newcastle United has been named as the fasting-growing football club brand in the world by industry experts Brand Finance.

The result was announced as part of the organisation’s annual ‘Football 50’ report, which is the only study of its kind to analyse and rank top clubs by the value of their brand.

 

United’s on-field performances, culminating in an instant return to the Premier League, continue to be the major influence on the club’s off-field success, while the size of the Magpies’ fanbase and level of fan satisfaction, overall brand management and social media presence are among other factors considered.

 

Despite spending the 2016/17 season in the Championship, United already sit ahead of several existing Premier League clubs in the rankings.

 

Overall growth in the club’s brand value is recorded at 92% over the last 12 months, with Champions League runners-up Juventus achieving the next best percentage growth globally with a 72% increase.

 

Joslyn Pannu, communications manager at Brand Finance, said: “Newcastle United have just passed the most valuable threshold in world football; promotion to the Premier League.

 

“The Magpies have deep roots in the Premier League and the restoration of such an iconic club will boost the brand strength of the league as a whole.”

Real Madrid, who won both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League in 2017, are named as the world’s most powerful football brand ahead of FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich, while Manchester United - fourth overall - are England’s most valuable football brand.

It's not so impressive.  A club that was valued at £120m in the relegation season fell to a worth of around £100m last year. With rising prize money and spin offs for being back in the top league plus the Rafa effect, we're up to £200m.

 

We were so far ahead of Spurs at one point on the commercial and player value stakes when Ashley came in and to compare to them, they're currently worth £540m by the same report.
