toontownman Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 They forgot to write the words "Hope" "Dreams" "Attractive Football" "fans money" and the like on the bricks locked behind the gate. Then all it would need is a picture of Ashley by the lock swallowing the key. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 They're purely ornamental though, they're not meant to ever serve their purpose as actual gates. Laughing stock, have a word man. To be fair to who ever mentioned laughing stock, I would expect more people to laugh at them because of where they are than not laugh. The gates are not the long lost treasure they were made out to be anyway, something has been made out of nothing. Symbolic dear from the Hall era and its me who said laughing stock and if it gets picked up by the red tops plenty people might have a laugh @ our expense .Peeps may mock me for my word play but it is yet another excuse to mock us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 'Iconic' gates sunk into concrete in front of wall. I'm surprised there isn't a Sports Direct logo on the gates somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The campaign to restore gates that were only there for around 10 years was always ridiculous, the positioning of them makes it even more so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Can't help seeing this as some sort of metaphor for the welcome Mike Ashley really wants to give to fans: "Welcome to St James Park, please walk into this brick wall" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/newcastle-united-start-delivering-food-5773902?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Fancy a hotdog? Newcastle United start delivering food to fans' seats Newcastle United's new app means fans can order food to their seat without missing a second of the action Newcastle United have found a way to make sure peckish fans don't miss a second of the action at NUFC matches - by delivering food directly to their seats. Via a new mobile app, VenueMenu, fans at NUFC matches can order hotdogs and fries and have them immediately delivered to them at their seat. Available on Blackberry, iPhone and Android, the new app means fans in the crowd can get the food brought to them in a sealed bag rather than having to go to the food outlets. The new service starts at this weekend's home match against West Ham. After downloading the app, fans can order food up to 24 hours before a match or until the gates open for delivery at half time. So are they just delivering it at half time? If so, how's that mean you don't miss 'a second of the action'? Presumably the fact you have to decide if you're going to fancy a pie the day before is due to the fact you can't get a mobile signal when there's 40,000 phones crammed into one structure.

Disco Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Bad enough having to get up for fat cunts to go for a pie, nevermind having them indulge themselves without fucking moving. Fucking gimmick anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm pretty much against all sort of in game PR or gimmicks American sports teams utilize, one of the reasons I adopted football so quickly. But this is just convenience if anything, it's gimmicky in the way the club announced it, but I don't see how it's not a good idea if everything works to plan.

If a lot of people do it, there's no way they'll be able to cope with the demand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
