Interpolic Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 There are either a lot more Newcastle fans with their tongue up Ashley's arse than I thought, or their views are far more likely to be aired on the radio. Listened to various shows today and have heard loads saying they're not arsed or it's a brilliant move, not many dissenting voices at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 reckon we'll soon see offers of buy the Home Shirt, get 100 pairs of ankle socks, a UK-EU adapter and Chelsea goody bag free? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Title change needed to rid him of his advertising here. Maybe St James Park under attack or something ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 £8 million for it? Isn't that what we paid for our excellent central midfield pairing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 £8 million for it? Isn't that what we paid for our excellent central midfield pairing? When you add on sign-on fees, agent fees and necessary associated borehole costs, it comes up to circa £35m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time at work Ashley was getting slagged off by people who have little or no interest in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Heartening to see the comments from the Council and Jeff Stelling. Though I would fucking love it if everyone just ignored the new name and it completely failed as a concept, I can't help but feel that it eventually take over, the media will simply be threatened with being banned from games if they don't comply I guess. Either way though, aside from my initial and continuing anger, what I find genuinely sad is that I don't think the ground will now ever go back to how it was before. Whoever owns it will never actively seek to reduce the amount of advertising income (or free marketing, in the case of Ashley) by removing it, and the same goes for the shite all over the Gallowgate roof etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 The "Lady Grey" is still the "Adelphi" and 40 odd years after last standing under the roof of the noisiest end in football it's still the "Leazes End". Owners will come and go, as will sponsors of this that and the other, but as long as there's a stadium on Gallowgate it will only ever be known as St.James' to Geordies irrespective of who pays for the naming rights.

OzzieMandias Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It’s too late to rally against the commodification of football. It’s too late to complain about big business interests eclipsing that of the fans. There’s no innocent parties that can actually complain in earnest without having to shoulder some of the guilt for this happening. You’ve paid over the odds for season tickets, you’ve forked out for the latest hideous away shirt, you’ve applauded the signing of stars on huge salaries, you’ve ordered pay per view matches on your satellites. Football is a business and we’re all consumers. If you want success and competing at the highest level, this is the “ugly” reality of doing so. If you want to get back to grass roots and the purity of the game, you know where to find Gateshead. http://www.sabotagetimes.com/football-sport/newcastle-fans-should-be-ecstatic-about-the-sports-direct-arena/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Why do people have to call it by it's new name anyway? Can you really sue a company for having employees calling something not by it's "real" name? Heard the BBC boss make Pryde, Ando & co stop calling St. James' Park, St. James' Park. Such a shit world.

Dave Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 "I would hope to generate between £8m-10m a year, that will give us another player," Llambias told BBC Newcastle. One more player! Amazing. Don't forget that money has to pay for their entire four-year contract as well, so it's a £3m player. Whoopy fucking do, I bet the Manchester clubs are shitting themselves.

Strange decision for them bearing in mind you will never hear radio stations like radio newcastle, realradio or capital say tonight we have tickets for Rihanna/Snow Patrol for there concert at the Metro Radio Arena, they will just say at the Arena or Newcastle Arena.
