I mean, technically they could, but probably not wise for the club. 

I think we’d all prefer it if Amanda, Mehrdad, Eales and co didn’t end up in jail.

They can’t show games that aren’t on the telly like.

 

Shearer does though doesn't it? Same within the ground.

 

I'm sure there'll be an argument that it's on club ground so falls within whatever license they have to show games.

Well, yes, if they somehow managed to claim it was part of SJP, they could presumably show all home games.

 

Would seem like an awful stretch to me though.

It’s because it’s classed as the same venue for home games, and for away games it’s classed as the away team venue, so they are allowed to broadcast it.

Is town going to have two STACKs, then? Or is the Pilgrim Street one not happening?

The new Pilgrim St one is more of a permanent structure based on the Stack concept rather than being the containers. That's how I understand it anyway.

Ye correct.

 

They're also doing a similar more permanent one in the Spanish City in Whitley.

They had a fanzone thing outside at Man City when I went away there this year and I thought it was fuckin horrendous. And at least there it's understandable cos there's fuck all around the ground. Not optimistic, hope it doesn't damage the pubs (maybe I'm talking shite).

 

 

 

Wouldn’t mind it hurting some of the pubs that wouldn’t help out during the MA boycott in particular the Spurs boycott. The Strawberry can get fcuked as far as I’m concerned ?

This is assuming that expansion is the plan. When it more likely is not. 

Eh? It’s been openly discussed by club management (owners) that this is the path they want to pursue?

I think the wording was more along the lines of the desire was for that to be the case.
 

I just think that in the end they’ll see a new stadium as the better overall option.

Totally agree. Heard the stuff in the media and was at the Q&A in Philadelphia and the topic was raised and cleverly answered leaving the loudest in the gathering thinking we were staying at SJP but I read it completely differently. The feasibility study will take 12 months and wouldn’t be surprised then that they opt for a new stadium if the demand is as great as we think.

 

SJP will struggle to be able to hold major footballing and sporting events and hi-tech music events which is the future wether people like it or not.

Was a handful of places that weren’t fans of having us handing out leaflets during the PardewOut/AshleyOut days or leaving them on the bar.

I spent 2 full evenings going round every bar in Gateshead & Newcastle (central) handing out flyers and posters prior to Spurs boycott explaining the plan for fans to watch in pub and maybe offer drinks deals if they wish and to get it out on their own social media etc and in turn we would publicise them on ours etc. The Strawberry (manager that evening) didn’t want anything to do with going against the club and didn’t want to help in any way. Sticks in me a bit as they probably benefitted the most when 25k stayed away.

That spurs game was fucking bleak mind. I remember being on a massive comedown on my way back to London from Tunbridge Wells of all places. It’s amazing to look back at how disengaged I was. It was on the radio I think.

I still can’t believe how many fucked it off. Brought a tear to my eye. In a perverse way I do sort of miss the gallows humour and camaraderie of those bleak days. 
 

Particularly enjoying fucking over the wanker mouthpieces that normally speak for the fanbase.

What was the crowd? I just looked at the BBC report and they mentioned the boycott, so not an entirely wasted effort. How was the atmosphere around town?
