gbandit Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 He's a fat fuck and his brand is filth but if anything has been proved since he changed the name, it's that no one gives a shit and most people still refer to it as st. james's park Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Is there anywhere outside the ground that says Newcastle United FC? It struck me once when walking past the ground that all the signage relates to SD and nothing mentions the football club by name at all. You mean like a Newcastle United Club Shop sign or something? Not sure tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We know all that, its just shit seeing it being pulled down. Yeah it is i agree but no worse than the other signs. Some reactions are actually worse than when this all happened the first time. itl be similar to when the writing on the east stand came down. hardly surprising its worth when he takes things away than merely adding the signs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Fucking disgusting. I hope we get someone in after Ashley who doesn't just replace all the Sports Direct stuff with his own business, and puts SJP back in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pjpg Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Who doesnt know what Sports Direct is these days? Theres a reason people don't go in to the shops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I don't think it'll ever go back to how it was tbh. Any new owner won't give up the potential sponsorship income, be that Sports Direct or any other company that steps in further down the line. It's a one-way street.

Do you think his Newcastle based shops are doing badly and all NUFC fans are avoiding them? Clearly i was making the general assumption that the thousands who shop there have a sizable NUFC connection. Its always heaving when i have been past.

Lush Vlad Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 http://c0014184.r32.cf1.rackcdn.com/x2_afc7cb3 f***ing shocking. I mean look at them. Haven't got the correct PPE on, no warning barriers and they're just using an unopened step ladder, leaned up against a wall, on a slope.

Mistle17 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 This has just left my enthusiasm for NUFC completely deflated. So much about our club (off the pitch, at least) is just wrong, and completely disregards and vandalises the heritage and tradition of this great club. The Sports Direct Arena? Fuck off. The only saving grace for Ashley as it stands is our league standing. Should that deteriorate then, as the nature of Newcastle United is, things could get quite restless imo. Christ sake even clubs like Wigan and Blackburn have more class than us when it comes to this.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
