Match Highlights from the Sports Direct Area #NUFC "Stadium name wrong, no link, and a Twitter hashtag on Facebook. All in all, a great post." "The sports direct area? AREA? so where's that then? i think they meant to type ' Arena ' but as St James Park has no roof it is by the very definition of buildings a ' stadium '. Stick that in your mince pie and choke on it Uncle Mike. Cheers." The club really aren't very good at using social media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason, the "Arena" part of the name really irritates me as I always think of an indoor venue. Can't understand why they didn't use "Stadium". Noticed that Pardew has started to say things like "when we play them at the Arena". It sounds so wrong that it takes a while for me to realise he is referring to SJP.

morla84 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Maybe Mikes planning on renaming the whole of Newcastle to the Sports Direct Area? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Its about time a decent company came along and bought the naming rights, if they are/were even in the first place for sale after all... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J7 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Its about time a decent company came along and bought the naming rights, if they are/were even in the first place for sale after all... Think it was pretty obvious they weren't up for sale at the time. Loads fall for it though, as they do each and every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maybe_next_year Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Nah, I reckon if someone came along with a £10million a season offer like they said it would raise, they'd take it, but that's rediculous high, pretty sure even man city's dodgy stadium deal is around that figure. They knew it would be slim chance of anyone offering that amount. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 It's a 'showcase.' A showcase in how to turn a world class stadium into the object of ridicule and a shameless piece of cheap advertising for a knock down sports brand. It's patently obvious and I won't be happy until the pox has gone. FWIW I don't mind the other aspects of Ashleyism so much but this was/is a pisstake. Karma for the FCB chants?... utter pisstake nonetheless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Btw. 45deg angles are cool. Are they updating the street view in Newcastle too? Just cos I walked past one of the cars recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
