I understand your point but I don’t agree that it disqualifies someone from holding that position. Of course there will be plenty of people (most of them on this board) more qualified for the position, but I don’t think calling her a yank etc is good craic TBH, let’s be welcoming.

 

She's a Chelsea fan who switched cos they stopped winning and we look like we might at some point.

 

No reason why any fan who's been following this club through thin and thinner should have any respect at all for her opinion on anything NUFC related. She'll jump ship to another club before long anyway.

Bit disappointing reading stuff like this on here TBH, I thought we were better than this. She’s not been appointed CEO, she’s an international rep on a fan advisory board FFS. As far as I’m concerned anyone who wants to see the club do well is welcome.

Fair enough I was fairly aggressive with my wording. I have no issue with Americans or whoever wanting to enjoy the club, in fact I welcome it.

 

Issue is that she is on a board that has an impact on club decisions. She has no right to hold that position. The audacity of the woman for even thinking she deserves a say in anything of important regarding the club is mental.

I’d draw the line at people who expressed an interest TBH. She hasn’t appointed herself, any ire should be directed at the club without resorting to personal insults. It’s shit craic.

She applied for the position. Clearly no self awareness.

I just watched and read about the Oakland Athletics baseball team playing their last game at the stadium that has been their home for half a century because their owner is moving them to Vegas, 550 miles away. 

 

I've never understood this kind of thing in American sports. Why not just start a new team in Vegas? I can't imagine being a lifelong Oakland A's fan and the team just upping sticks and moving to Vegas, it's completely bizarre. They aren't even going to Vegas straight away, they're going to Sacramento for 3 years first.

Where was the evidence for this?

They started out as the Philadelphia Athletics back in 1901. Then moved to Kansas for a few years before moving to Oakland. There are a shitload of teams that’s been moved around in North America.

Her twitter account.

Count the number of modern footy fans getting that all important socials content 

Some of the camera holders didn’t move a muscle when the ball hit the back of the net. The mind boggles

Pisses me off

[Huw Gib]

On the subject of the modern fan. A steward tapped on my shoulder just before the penalty was taken and asked if I could sit down because there were some fans sitting in the fancy seats in the Leazes who couldn't see. Not sure why I was meant to sacrifice my own view of the penalty so they could stay seated.

And no, I was not a camera holder.

I’d have politely asked the stewart to tell the people in the fancy seats to fuck right off

Absolutely sickening can see me sacking the whole thing off, we’ve gone the same way as Man City and every other top club before we’ve even won owt.

Pathetic isn't it.  I've never even thought of getting my phone out whilst the game is ongoing.

Anyone at SJP who isn’t in the away end, decides to watch us take a pelanty through their phone screen, then stands stock still when the ball hits the back of the net needs a lifetime ban from the ground. Tourist or not.

There were people doing it at Sunderland away when Isak had the penalty.

 

More passion in my bellend for NUFC than a lot of the whoppers getting their grubby hands on tickets. 
 

This is why Natalie Noyes can get to fuck. 

[frankpingel]

Atmosphere came across as terrible and it'll continue with fans like those populating the stands. 

[Rafalove]

Sat in the home end when we played Man U at Old Trafford last season. Three lads sat next to us were Doing Tik Tok’s then left after about 40 minutes.

 

The modern world is shit.

You mention this and you get people come back with “it was shite anyways”, aye, it was shite, but it’s somehow getting worse because of day tripping picnic munchers 

[Whitley mag]

Exact profile of supporter the likes of Silverstone want in the ground unfortunately, wouldn’t even be surprised if they’ve built something into the ballot where postcodes outside the north east get a percentage of tickets.

I don't get it, I mean I really don't get it. Let's forgive the non participation and concentrate purely on the stupidity 

 

For one, they watch the entire game through a small screen

Secondly, who the actual fuck wants to watch their shit home video? 

 

They need to fuck off
