Minhosa Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 If I was Pardew, I'd be absolutely foaming about this. I imagine he will be, but what can he do? He's gotta tread a very fine line here and once again they've dumped him right into a shitstorm he doesn't deserve to be surrounded by. Agreed I'm no fan of the cunt but he doesn't deserve this shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 just got in and seen this? What man? Fuck off. It'll always be St. James' Park. That fat fucking cunt can just fuck off. He must be trying to anger the fans on purpose now. 3rd in the League, we've warmed to his last managerial appointment at which we were first disgruntled by then he decides to be an absolute cock end again. Does he tug his penis which he probably can't see over his enormous gut every time we sing songs against him? I swear down he gets off on the negativity.

S.S.R. Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Those using man utd as a club that don't have a stadium name They get more for their training gear than we do for our strip Perspective It's deluded. We haven't got the history and prestige Liverpool and Man Utd have. Let's moan about tradition when we've got a few European cups and 19 league titles under our belt. Where's the furious anger about the Leazes and Gallowgate renaming? Just griping about nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yet again I find myself thinking I'd be happier if we were playing in League One with someone with an ounce of fucking decency at the helm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 A massive banner needs to be made for the Chelsea game stating this is St James' Park and forever it shall be. Won't be allowed in, remember. Colour co-ordinated t-shirts then. Like I said earlier, co-ordinated cards held aloft across the stands spelling out St James' Park.

Guest bimpy474 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 another sad example of the way football is going and this isn't even a Mike Ashley thing, NUFC may be the first to do this but you can bet it won't be the last Bet you it will. Tottenham have already been looking into this, as that Times article alluded to, my boss is a Spurs fan and they think its coming. Chelsea have got a deal lined up for next year too haven't they? They have because owners aren't allowed to sink money in anymore come the new fair play rules, its why Man.City get £400m a year for their stadium, thats cheating to me but, not sure of the figures but you have to generate a certain percentage of turnover to cover wages/cost etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 The claim that it's in order to attract interest in someone else buying the naming rights is shite of the highest order,naming rights aren't a difficult concept to grasp and don't have to be demonstrated. He bought the club for advertising purposes and is merely following through with the original plan. Awful,just bloody awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Disgusting, absolutely disgusting. I'm actually heartbroken here. Howay man, get a grip FFS. f*** off Otter you utter cretin. You have absolutely no idea about passion and love for NUFC. If you can't understand him saying he's hearbroken then you really need to f*** off from 'supporting' NUFC. Sorry lads...he's just wound me right up there. I understand Sifu's emotions here, but Otter has every bit idea about passion and love for NUFC. I've been going to the games with him for 17 years and he currently travels up from Manchester for every home game. I appreciate he's wound you up, but be careful with what you say mate.

Chelsea are openly looking for a sponsor for Stamford Bridge, Spurs when they redevelop White Hart Lane, I don't like it one bit but the only surprising thing to me is its taken this long considering how clubs are always looking to increase revenue and with Financial Fair Play coming quickly this sort of thing will be seen as an easy fix Arsenal did it when the new stadium opened didn't the with The Emirates, and City already done it too right?

MW Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 It'l be little things. The stadium announcer will blatantly say "Welcome to the Sports Direct Arena". On the tickets it will have sports direct arena. hopefully the world just ignore it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Imagine this happening in German football? The reaction of the fans would be nothing but fierce protection to their ground and history. Even in Italy, Netherlands....but of course here nowt will be done. We'll moan on internet forums, spell words wrong on bedsheets and almost refuse to believe it. But, in saying that, the position us as fans now have in the football food-chain is somewhere right at the bottom, rotting away. Hence, we have no say or no control in whatever goes on. I will always love Newcastle United, but I'm rapidly falling out of love with the way football is run (marketed) in this country at the highest level. The majority of German stadiums are named after brands. Was 14 out of 18 in the top division in 2007, not sure about now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
