Decky Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Its probably not spoken about by the majority of the fanbase because there are a million and one other things going on around the club at the moment, but I bet you the vast majority weren't happy when it was changed. If you reminded most fans about it and asked if they'd like it changed to something a bit more professional looking it'd be interesting to see the response. Its also about what it links back to, its was part of Ashley's Sports Direct rebranding of St James' Park and for some fans its a constant reminder of that. Lets remind ourselves of the change: Spoiler It could easily be changed either back to the original or to something new. Some of you on here are behaving like people want the East Stand demolished along with it. People are asking for a small change, that's it.

And let's be honest here. It's hardly a real issue is it? It's some writing on a stand. A stand that's been earmarked for heavy modification anyway in the future.

Its not something thats up there with getting sponsorship deals to help our financial fair play position, increasing the capacity of SJP or building a new training ground, but not everything has to be. During the first 18 months subtle changes were being made here there and everywhere from repainting the concourses, changing Nine Bar back to Shearer's etc, this could be put into that bracket. People arent writing petitions or protesting outside SJP about it either, we're just making comments on a message board saying we'd like to see it changed.

Yorkie Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 This debate triggers the living shit out of me, like. Yes it's a real issue, no it isn't the most significant issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 It’s not like anyone needs a fuck off sign to remind you who plays there. Like having a tattoo with your own name on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Apart from expansion it’s the most important SJP issue to me. I can’t think of another one. Selling Greggs I would have a close second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrone Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I find the font/typeface less important than the state of the two club crests either side of the main entrance on Barrack Road like. The one on on the right is all washed out and looks like a cheap Dhgate copy of the other. #crestgate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 couple more examples of some easy things to spruce up, but hey since nobody talks about it in the pubs it’s not a real concern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Nowt wrong with the gate. If you run at it hard enough you will get to leazes level 4 ¾. But seriously, why the fuck did we bother getting them gates restored to have them bolted to a wall ffs!? But build up some pillars and have them stand proud somewhere.

Having the gates or a barrier in place at the back of the Gallowgate may cause a choke point and create a potential crush? Agree tho, it would be nice to have them somewhere or where they they can function and maintain the history of SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Middlesbrough had done something similar from Ayresome park but I might be getting confused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
