SteV Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 1 hour ago, Danh1 said: Someone I know done a stadium tour today and put a video on their insta story. The seats in the Leazes are 100% now comfy seats, not NUFC. Yeah, the Sports Bar as was, has become a new corporate area. Less seats in it so some people have been relocated. Some have been able to stay (not sure if in exact same seat) but do not have access to the corporate facilities (their ST price has been reduced though to reflect the fact that they no longer have the facilities they had when it was the Sports Bar).

Kanji Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 It’s the same font as Sports Direct. It doesn’t even match our current official typeface on our badge or on our print and digital media we use for official club stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 People want rid of it because its one of the few relics of the Ashley era that is still in existence. People were rightly fuming when Ashley took down the old sign and replaced it with that Sports Direct shite. It could easily be replaced and it should be.

Wilson Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 When I was on the tour back in April I asked the bloke about the lettering, he was brilliant with everything else but he didn't really seem to know what I was on about strangely. Just gave a strange look and kept saying 'they're sorting everything.... everything!' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've emailed the club asking if this feeling could be passed on fwiw, I’d suggest anyone else doing the same. I’m sure Darren Eales brought it up himself that someone had mentioned it to him, I’m surprised such a relatively simple operation hasn’t been done.

Yorkie Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Fwiw this thread once featured a poll and several hundred members from here agreed that the font should be changed. So aye, people are arsed. Proportionately arsed, I would add. Just cos we're not relying on Shefki Kuqi for goals atm doesn't mean you can't have an opinion about an unrelated matter. Also it's not just about the Ashley iconography; it's the principle internal facade which the global audience sees when they tune in for the match. It needs tarting up.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 It’s very important to me. Expunge every trace of Mike Ashley. I guess if they’re knocking down the stand, they might decide it’s not worth the money. Same reason I want Shola and Graeme Jones fired Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not exactly priority number one but it’s still a small change that I’d like to see simply because the shite italic Sports Direct font reminds me of the Ashley era and I’d rather not see it.

Kanji Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Caring about the appearance of our stadium also extends to signage - not just the size of stands, the color of the seats, the cleanliness and accessibility etc. it all fits together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
