David28 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The statement Colocho posted some pages back suggests otherwise... “St James’ Park is part of the heritage of Newcastle and it’s important to local people, so for me it should be called St James’ Park.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 No businessmen are that clever though :/ and their target market may be slightly broader than devotees of NE1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If they buy the naming rights, they could revert it back to SJP, become very popular for doing so and have their advertising in place and the shirt sponsor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Surprised a rumour like this hasn't spread at the usual quick speed that others do. Is the internet broken? I guess most people think its virgin on the ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I just hope he ends up buying the b****** club tbh don't fall for beardies PR. I want to though he's as much an operator as ashley, probably more question marks over him. he's the tony blair of business. Immensely intelligent, brave and decisive?

Guest Shaun Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Anything but Virgin Media, man. Their customer service makes the cunts at Sports Direct look like philanthropists. I thought they were good. Sky and BT are the worst. Agree with the BT bit. Sky however we're top dollar when sorting my problems out. Depends who you get on the phone in most cases and if it'll cost them money to sort out. I got a right tosser. He tells me I can't cancel the contract even though I had never got a broadband service from them. I even read out Sky's T&Cs to him and he tells me their own website is wrong. He then goes on about me buying out the rest of my contract (£200 odd quid) I said "no thanks, mate" Ring up the next day (get a different guy) and he cancels it there and then. I'm now on Virgin running through the phone line (like Sky) Turns out there was a problem on the phone line. Sky said there wasn't - 3 times. I had no internet for 6-months.

Colocho Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 THE boss of Virgin Money yesterday told the company’s new employees in the North East that they had the chance to transform the banking industry. Chief executive Jayne-Anne Gadhia spent her first day at the former Northern Rock headquarters talking to staff about her ambitions for the business. And she declared herself “genuinely delighted” by their response, saying the workforce was “engaged, welcoming, warm and excited about the future”. http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-news/2012/01/04/virgin-money-chief-executive-makes-pledge-to-north-east-staff-61634-30057997/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 For some reason I don't think it will be Virgin Media but Virgin Money, Virgin Money is the new baby and he will want new customers etc there and will be doing all he can to do that. I hear that either on the 8th or 9th of this month a large advertisement campaign for Virgin Money will begin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Tonight? Fast movers! Well Virgin agreed to buy Northern Rock in November and agreed it would go trough on January 1st, so really Virgin being on our shirts could have been happening tonight no matter what the outcome of these suspected rumours are.
