I guarantee they will be an upgrade on the usual lot who work there on match days… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I don't go and still feel sad about the clip of st james' mind. Parked there when heading into town last week and it just looks scruffy and unloved now. I used to really look on in sheer amazement at st james' park when I was younger thinking it was one of the best stadiums I'd ever been too. Looks a bit of a relic in parts now.

It used to be a monument you could see for miles, the heartbeat of the city. Took the lad to the Hancock and the Centre for Life last week and parked on Gallowgate and it was depressing how much of a decaying shithole it is now.

Let me guess - theyre a small professional / large amatuer club with an annual budget for the medical department of £500. Whereas NUFC is a large professional club, playing in the "Best league in the world" TM and our annual budget for the medical department is.......£500.

Wallsendmag Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Went to the England match at the weekend and yesterday we took the bairn on the Stamford Bridge stadium tour. Baring in mind Stamford Bridge, like SJP is an old stadium. Their East Stand was built in the 70s, same as our East Stand, and the rest of the stadium was totally redeveloped in the 90s and completed around 200, also the same as SJP, but that's where the similarities end. It is immaculate! It was a hive of activity yesterday. Maintenance men buzzing round all over the place and loads of people with cloths and buckets of water wiping down every seat. The place is literally spotless inside and out and it's clear they have so much pride in their stadium and no expense is spared on keeping in in tip top shape. The tour finished with a 2 course meal in Frankies Bar, obviously named in honour of Lampard, same as Shearer's was until Ashley renamed it. Now to be honest, I haven't been in Nine Bar for a good while now but from what I can remember if it compared to Chelsea's equivalent, there was no comparison. As with the rest if the stadium it was spotless. No ripped chairs, big screen TVs, lovely outside seating area, great waiter service and a nice outdoor space to sit and eat our meal. I couldn't have been more impressed with the set up, but came away feeling more depressed about the state of NUFC and our once proud stadium which is in a state of disrepair. Their season ticket prices aren't even that much different to ours. £750 behind either goal (£659 at SJP) and £950 for a top seat along the side (over £1k in parts of the Milburn and over £800 in the East Stand). They are watching some of the best players in the World and played of course European Champions and we can't (won't) even afford loan players. Ashley isn't just selling the matchgoing fans short, he's taking the piss out of you and having a good laugh at your expense.

Cheers pal. SJP is an absolute disgrace, we all know that, but yesterday it really hit home when compared to a stadium of similar age. It's a crime what Ashley has been allowed to do here. Can't help thinking if he'd bought Chelsea instead of Abramovich he would have been chased out years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye mate, the fact he’s been allowed to totally ruin our club is as much as a disgrace as is the state of our once beautiful stadium, and indeed our disgrace of facilities.
