UncleBingo Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This Eddie Rutherford fella seems a few sandwiches short of a picnic to me rather than a Bishop PR merchant. Not happy with the journalist either, will be having words with him in due course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Is it not £2.5k for the cherry picker and the trained guys to operate it and clean the windows? They're not just gonna send Bob the janitor up with a squeegee, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I genuinely can't believe Lee Marshall's tweets telling fans to report any stadium problems to STEWARDS and implying that our fans were posting photos of the neglect on social media to "score points"! Embarrassing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been at Newcastle and Darslay Park for at least 20 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they earn their coin but any business worth it's salt would not have them as a go to person to report a fault/damage unless it needed urgent attention.

Paully Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 No mention of those iconic Sports Direct signs currently there! Newcastle's facilities manager on working with Lee Charnley and plans for the players' tunnel http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastles-facilities-manager-working-lee-15145480#ICID=ios_ChronicleNewsApp_AppShare_Click_Other Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Not only another desperate attempt at 'hey we care about our stadium' but as Paully says, not a single mention about how these white tiles have SD plastered all over them, nor how the new look tunnel will undoubtedly have the shite plastered on it too.

NEEJ Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 It's absolute bollocks, man. As if anyone is bothered about the colour of the tiles. It's the fuck-off massive, free advertising, SD signage that gets people's goat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiedean Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Is it not £2.5k for the cherry picker and the trained guys to operate it and clean the windows? They're not just gonna send Bob the janitor up with a squeegee, right? 2.5k a day for the equipment and labour???, the equipment should only be about 600 quid for a days hire then the labour would be no more than 250 a day each individual As I said a cherry picker is limited at how high it can reach, these things don't go up to the top of the stands ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 The club already has one of those mechanical platforms for each of the Leazes and Milburn windows, don't they? Surely it's just a case of sending a bloke up on that with a pressure washer or similar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Sorry to spoil the party, but the big MEWPs that reach 90m high and a 30m outreach are £2.5k a day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 A cherry picker and team can easily cost that if they have been hired for a full day doing all kinds of things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Even so what the fuck is 2.5k to clean the glass at the stadium to a premier league club?. The mackems were spending 12k a year on plastic plant pots FFS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 The mackems must have been reporting it to a steward when plastic plants have been in the same place for 2 weeks running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Amazing that getting a cherry picker and abseiliers is easily affordable when tearing down the old East Stand sign to install the new one complete with SD logo’s and when installing the TV screen on level 7 which is used for advertising his brands 99% of the time. Paying for it to clean some windows though? Fuck that, not possible. It wasn’t even possible to get people to clean the windows when the TV screen was installed.

ToonArmy1892 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 By the time he sells up and we are able to clean the windows, the grime probably won't even come off, he probaboy wants these type of things happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
