A private jet is landing in Newcastle soon from Nuremberg. The relevance of that is that it’s where Adidas’ headquarters are.

 

Perhaps, if there is going to be a big discussion about the stadium this evening, Adidas could be there to discuss naming rights.

Nah. If anything, Adidas will be flying in to send people over to watch the match, and sign off on next seasons designs and product catalog.

If it’s anything to do with them, that is.

Top brass from Adidas are at our games quite often 
 

One of their main dudes that was in the NUFC documentary is a friend of a friend

We’ll still be playing at SJP in the 2035/36 season.

 

 

 


I’d imagine they’d want to showcase it 2030. Tight but possible.

Mate, who's got an 8 seat box, got 8 PLUS 2 Business Tickets last Cup Final. 10 in total. 

Just the 4 this time but they're very pragmatic and not too radged about it.

Can’t see any chance of the government calling it in. They’re desperate for investment and growth. Trump spent half of one of his tedious speeches last week praising Yasir and joking away with him. While the government are trying to build connections with the likes of Saudi Arabia, they’re not going to call something in because some people are upset a stadium might be built in a run down park in an area they’ll be worried about Reform.

It is the North East though.

£2bn worth of investment up here?

They’ll not want to be getting called out for why they can’t at least try and do something themselves.

£2bn would 150% more than what the Metro system cost to open up in the 70’s-80’s, even accounting for inflation.

I’d be surprised if our region has had a single project that has even came close to that price spent on it.

Labour are proving just as bad as the Tories when it comes to neglecting the North East. Numerous schemes have been cancelled, and pretty much every new infrastructure promise has been to London, the South East and pretty much anywhere but our region. Latest example...

The only hope of any significant spending around Tyneside is currently dependent on the Saudi state.

Who was it a while back basically asking the Saudi's for handouts, was it the council?

 

Regardless, I remember thinking at the time that on the surface it wasn't a great look but really if we hadn't been neglected by one government after the other then they wouldn't have to.

Yeah I know, but surely £2bn on 1 project, and another £200m+ on another project 4 miles up the road will just embarrass our government.
