AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I really want option 1 but I voted 2 as more realistic. With the caveat that nothing should go on the east stand and the font is changed. I don’t mind sponsorship around the place in general, just also want some iconic non-commercial stuff to adore.

Yorkie Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Personally I feel like I could live with something going up under the big screen, or maybe even the Gallowgate fascia, but the East Stand has to be clean for me. There's plenty parts of the ground in good competition but it's that section which has been soiled the worst for me. Bring back the proper text and stick the four beautiful crests up there, in colour, alongside it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Good effort but it's really quite nuanced as for me its about identity. Ashley bizarrely as a sports brand owner endeavoured to strip the club of any sense of sporting identity, or that of a regional hub to be proud of. Heritage? Fuck that - Sports Direct Arena. Achievement ? Fuck that - look at my share price. It's not really about what they are replaced with or quantity but the intent behind it. SJP's name was cast away without forethought. Wonga ffs. I mean in terms of morality there's still issues - but it's two sides of the same coin in terms of 'using' a football club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I'd rather there was no branding on the top of the stands etc, but thats probably not viable unless we want no sponsorship money. I wouldn't mind something on the East Stand as long as its more towards the corners so the shot from the tunnel only shows NEWCASTLE UNITED Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I'd prefer not to have huge sponsorship signs plastered everywhere like SD was, but tbh money is going to talk. If a company is putting in big money, then we can't really expect the club to turn it down. And by big money, I'm not talking about the piss take stitch up we had under Ashley.

Shadow Puppets Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I'd prefer to have no branding around the roof/ Newcastle sign. Everything else I couldn't give two hoots about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) I don't like stadium sponsorship generally especially old stadiums, but after 10-20years of it I'm desensitised to a degree with us it was that it didn't benefit us in anyway and benefited a bloke deliberately hurting the club (what he made in sponsors is money the club was cost) - if SD sponsorship gave the club an advantage it would have been more tolerable, that it didn't and in fact was nothing but damaging to the club - was basically just defacing grafitti Edited December 6, 2021 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomson Mouse Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I think the new owners seem to have a good understanding of what we’re about. I’d be shocked if they replaced those with other signs, it’s an easy PR win for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Why does there need to be a replacement sign? Personally I’d put the screen there and take it off the window, because it looks fucking shot on the window.

nufcjb Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) For question 2, i voted no. But, i want us to replace it with maybe somehing more modern looking. Perhaps backlight on Newcastle United with the club badge. Edited December 6, 2021 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the heart of the question was 'should we get rid of the SD font.' I think you can change it if you click 'show vote options' and vote again, if you're bothered.

Dokko Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 SD font has to go. It's an easy win for them. Back to old or something better. They also need to pick several prime locations for their branding and scrap the rest just so its visually cut down (for us) but still has the same exposure for cameras (and sponsor) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 If they can’t get the font back to what it was, could comic sans be a viable alternative? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not imperative it is changed, but if they asked me if I'd want it changed I'd say yes in a heartbeat. Might just be the way the question was framed.
