Can they not change the NEWCASTLE UNITED font ffs?

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.

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.

Aye, and I wouldn't thank any of the dickheads who bought the letters and proudly stood there revelling in the destruction of the club

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.

Did you get upset when Ashley tossed up the SD.com signs on the stand?

Exactly. I bet the font mattered back then. 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.

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.

Got to be honest here I've never ever heard it even mentioned by a single NUFC fan outside of this forum.

Definitely heard it mentioned outside of here personally.

 

Doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as it did when Ashley was in charge, mind. Just a mildly irritating hangover. Would be good to see it go as part of a general tarting up of the stadium though.
