Works for me. Expand I lived a couple of Terraces back from the ground for a while and used to go to the annual Callers Pegasus games way before I lived there. Local cricket up here has strong and well established teams and leagues. It should stay that way. Durham are the NE team, many a Geordie have represented them and Durham has produced a string of England players. We should support them. The ECB did their best to completely fuck Durham over up here in the far north. Would be lovely to be ruffle some feathers. Never forget the below and this doesn’t even cover the ECB encouraging Durham to expand in order to achieve Test status in the first place or the fact that ECB advised Durham to turn down a 4M private investment to manage the debt in favour of their so called bail out. https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/2016/oct/03/durham-relegated-financial-struggles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m from Newcastle, not County Durham. I’ve never been comfortable with supporting them. Just my take, I don’t expect anyone else to share my view Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The only upside of PIF buying the Falcons is it would show they are in it for the long term as far as Newcastle is concerned. But if they are, then I want them spending every penny on building the football club, don't give a toss about the rugby or cricket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 Buy the Falcons. Build them a huuuge £1Bn stadium and then lease it to NUFC. Puts us in the FFP/PSR compliance scams with the big boys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we build a new stadium, I reckon we are about 6 years out, if we are rebuilding SJP, then I reckon that we are 10 years out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
