Guest chopey Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Howay folks, you try and have 50,000 people walk through your front room and not get dirt on your roof and rust on your gates Are you flirting with us here? The Metro Centre has an annual footfall of 21 million people and is maintained by 26 people, its immaculate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Howay folks, you try and have 50,000 people walk through your front room and not get dirt on your roof and rust on your gates As been mentioned, there are hundreds of similarly sized stadiums across the world that don't have this problem.

HaydnNUFC Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Say a new owner (ha!) does come in and says, "Fuck it, let's build a new stadium," where's the best location for a new stadium to be located? Not many areas in the city centre that can accommodate a 60,000 seater stadium. What's the craic about that land behind the Gallowgate? Is it too late or could a new owner buy it back to extend that to L7 level? Don't really want to move from SJP, ever. God knows how much work it needs doing to it, though.

Guest chopey Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Put another 8000 on the Gallowgate and tidy up the rest is the only option for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 That sticker at the bottom of the inner crest has been there for at least 7 years. AT LEAST. I'm surprised Puma hasn't started to embroider it into the badge on the shirt. That is fucking incredible (but at the same time not) I wonder how long a little sticker on one of ths SD signs would last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Say a new owner (ha!) does come in and says, "Fuck it, let's build a new stadium," where's the best location for a new stadium to be located?

Is it too late or could a new owner buy it back to extend that to L7 level? Don't really want to move from SJP, ever. God knows how much work it needs doing to it, though. As of so far Ashley has plans to build student accommodation on the site which would prevent an expansion to make the Gallowgate the same size as level 7 (but not prevent a smaller expansion) and prevent the Metro from being able to be extended from that line. Nexus (the owner and operator of the Metro) have asked him to slightly move one the buildings back which would leave open the option for them to extend the Metro line in future. So far he has refused to do so. The guy is not content with pissing off NUFC fans, but the citizens of Newcastle as a whole. If we do manage to get rid of him we shouldn’t stop until he has no presence left in our city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest covmag Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 the away changing rooms looks like a prison cell and a throw back to the 1900's, i'm told they do it on purpose the stadium tour i had in the summer was decent to be fair but when you get a good look at us its looking grubby at times, this cunt doesn't care though, the twat.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 All done on the cheap with the intention to shut up those who have raised concerns and highlighted such decay and nothing to do with improving the stadium. Proof however that the little man can still make himself heard and have a direct impact on those who underestimate the power of the hot polloi!

Yes I mean there still should be no praise for something so basic that should be done on a regular basis anyway without people having to complain about it in the first place.

Yep - Almost certainly Ashley is thin skinned enough to have given Joey Maintenance an extra bod or two (probably some poor cunts from a cheap body shopping agency) to quieten down the masses. He's so easy to get under the skin of ole Fatso, we should've been much more aggressive over the years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
