I had one of those clocks that was a wall wrist watch too thinking back. You could get black & white wallpaper, which is ironic when you think that Ashley stopped it and claimed his money was as useless as wallpaper.

Kid Icarus Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 My room was absolutely dripping with Newcastle stuff like, it was obscene. Remember those league table posters with the slots for each team, each team was a shirt that you slotted into each league position and you added each result to a grid? What an absolute chew on.

Kid Icarus Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Used to get Black & White every month and hang the posters up as well. I'm sure one of the earliest ones was of Darren Peacock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 2 hours ago, Golden Dragon 1976 said: Sorry for this long winded post ( especially seen as its my first one!) I've just read the last few pages of this. I've seen loads of talk on fb about the stadium and building next to St James or down the Quay where the old arena is and like Yorkie above i was against it but if its going to happen then i think it need to be outside of the city - maybe Gosforth park where our minority owner already own? But, i still not sure about this "we'll fill 85k stadium" etc etc. Granted depending on the design, concerts, other sports et al will be easier to put on but we've managed the rugby league at St James without any problems so now i leaning more back to staying! I also worry when thing start going down hill, which they will - do we really want me and 40k diehards cheering on the team in a 85k stadium cause that's what happened not so long a go under FM!! There a seat next to me which must be owned by a company ,,,, its always filled for man city, Liverpool arsenal at home but had no one in it the last 3 games so i would say its already started to some degree! I’d rather have 20k empty seats if we’re shit than 20k locked out when we’re good tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ7 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Went to a few American club shops last Autumn, Mets, Rockies, Broncos and Dodgers. Totally different experience to the mess that ours is. People were queuing up to get into a bigger shop than ours at Coors Field and the crowd was about half what we get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Should the success not come first before the stadium? Surely just building a new stadium doesn't guarantee bums on seats - you need the demand. Edited March 6 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack27 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I do think the club x Adidas will build something half decent over the summer. The small is pretty small though so they’ll have to be clever. Have they (or do they have to) submitted plans on city council planning portal for it? I can’t get onto it for some reason so can’t check Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a lot harder to get success without increasing the revenue, which is the whole point in a new stadium, or even a redevelopment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Sounds like the pre modern club shops were better than now nevermind since they went professional. Portacabins though they be with programmes from all over the UK which was exotic then, match videos (wish I got the lot now)and other merch akin to fanzine tshirts and stuff. All the strips and stuff. As has been said, like the back page now. That unofficial none corporate feel. Edited March 6 by Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but to increase revenue they would need to fill the 70, 80, 90k (whatever the capacity) - and they will need to fill it week in week out. And to sustain that would we need to be performing on the pitch i.e. not a mid-table team which tbf we currently are. Edited March 6 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conservative, or unambitious approach was the one Ashley had. I find the ‘if we have a slump again we’ll be back down to 40k again’ a bit strange too. It was nearly always sold out under Rafa and always was before Ashley. It would take some slump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't ever think we'd get close to the lows of Ashley days - absolutely not. But to fill 70, 80, 90k you will need to be performing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling on most of the top row, The two between Ketsbaia and Lee? I'm sure the guy next to Shearer was Australian? I'm struggling.
