henke Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 That's it like. I can slate Newcastle united, the squad, the owner, whatever. But if for example some armchair manc at work has a pop he'll be told to shut his yap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Whenever I'm in London visiting my sister and we are at the pub which contains a mixture of Arsenal and Spurs fans. I always set them straight about Newcastle. Their views are often that Ashley has sorted our finances out, we expect too much, KK spent a shit load and bottled it etc. and that Shearer was a mug for turning down Yahnitud...

Gosforth Lad Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I've seen a few people say things that lead me to believe they wish we had built a new stadium before the SJP expansion. Is that a common opinion? I wouldn't have thought that would be popular. My gran, mother and me signed a petition on Northumberland Street against the Stadium. The town moor is one of the city's Crown Jewels and John Hall needed to leave it the f*** alone. Worked out well anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The town moor is one of the city's Crown Jewels and John Hall needed to leave it the f*** alone. Worked out well anyway! I was on the opposite side. Moving slightly up the road to Castle Leazes would have been ideal. Even now take a walk up to that area, it's a dog bog that 20stone blokes won't walk over in the dark. Is that area actually Town moor ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Toon Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 No, the area wasn't the town moor. It was the strip of land just beside Leazes Park and to this day is just a shit tip of land which has a mix of cows and students using it beside run down housing.

Is there any chance, Ashley aside, that we could possibly revisit the idea of moving to Town Moor or Leazes Park? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Toon Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The big problem with the idea in the first place was that everyone up here associates the 'town moor' as the land where they go when the funfair is here. This bit of land is not, it's around half a mile South West and past the Central Motorway and RVI. A field full of s***, cows and students taking shortcuts as well as dog walkers putting the squeeze on something that would boost the city ten fold.

NG32 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I still think the Quayside is a better option for a new site Next to the arena? The arena is going and all the land down there will be residential and more student acvomidation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arena is going and all the land down there will be residential and more student acvomidation. The gentrification of the city centre with student accommodation is fucking ridiculous. Newcastle city centre is one the worst in the UK for residential accommodation. Something needs to be done, this labour party currently in the at the council are a joke.

bigfella Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Of course an improved arena was to be built as part of the Leazes Park relocation. Still think it was a missed opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I quite like the arena mind. Personally think that the sound's been spot on whenever I've been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
