Renewing.  Trying to shift though so as not to be spunking over £600 on it.

 

Thought you had a decent job.

 

I do, but that's not a reason to pay over the odds for a sub-standard product.

well after 30 years with a season ticket i jacked in at start of 06/07 season and i will go back when we look as though we are going in the right direction again both on and off the pitch with roeder at the helm who knows but the transfer target mess we end up in every window makes me doubt this.

imho the souness legacy lives on to haunt us and will take a while to recover from and a new managment structure at the top ie shepherd may change my mind and eventually renew.

not having a go biggs but why is now different to other times in the past 30 when we were obviously going backwrads yet you renewed?

just had enough of being pissed about and we were so close a few seasons ago and ready to consistently challenge for honours but our chairman put pay to that so is that good enough reason for you .

I'll be renewing. Hopefully i'll get some kind of stair climbing machine as part of the deal. Eh Fred, eh?! Few seasons of L7 (on the half-way line, it ain't so bad) and my knees are like a burned out KIA's door opening mechanism. That's er, well, shit really.  :undecided:

No renewing, again. I find selecting matches fits my lifestyle much better and tickets can be had a plenty anyway for individual matches.

You can't renew if you don't have a ticket to start with ;)

Technically I part own one, so... actually I guess I will be renewing then.

I think there's every reason to be optimistic for the future.  I feel more optimistic now than at any time since Souness took over.  Next season we have Michael Owen coming back, we surely will strengthen particularly at the back, and there's no reason why we can't finish in the top 6.

I do have to wonder, where all this optimism comes from. Does everyone watch the same game as me? Yesterday was crap, we are a very poor team and have little or no chance of finishing top six next year. In my opinion we have four or five Premiership quality players in our squad and one of those is our Keeper, the rest aren’t up to it.

If Roeder stays and I think he will, we’ll be crap again next year but I’ll not be renewing, sometimes you just feel you have to make a protest, even if it’ll make no bleed’n difference.

 

Prediction if Roeder stays…….

Season ticket sales down by at least 20%.

Bottom half finish in Prem next year.

The Makems take 6 points off us.

Roeder sacked next May.

 

Sorry, don’t want to be negative but I’m serious about all of the above predictions….. sadly.

rubbish

 

check out the poll results

 

there is a majority that will renew to see ten mongolian goat herders kick a sheeps head around if they're wearing black and white

 

and for every person chucking in, there is one right behind taking his place

Mark my words....... Season ticket sales will be down.

This a board for fanatics of the club, your average fan is so pi$$ed off, he'll not be on here saying he'll renew. I go to the games with a few mates, 5 out of 10 not renewing.

 

Sad but true.

I'll renew simply because I've 'won' enough to pay for it. Me and my mates have bets every weekend with winnings going in the bank. So far we've exceeded £1500(between 3) so thats my ST paid for.

 

If I was looking to put my hand in my pocket for the ST money then I wouldn't. I've seriously thought about just using it to get the dodgy sattelite channel and fuck Shepherd/Roeder/piss taking overpaid cunts who make up our team

I think more supporters will see what changes, who's bought, who goes before deciding.

I think you're right, but nowt's going to change.

 

Unless we get taken over, Freddie will be in charge and he'll let GR continue on because he's a total f***witt who knows sod all about the game. I mean who in their right mind would have appointed Souness, Blackburn were about to sack him ffs.

 

Can you tell I'm pi$$ed off?

I for one have had enough - for two reasons - it's getting too expensive for a s/t, when compared to what is served up in return for your cash - and secondly - Freddy Shepherd.

 

I'll pick and choose my games next season (if I go at all) - I'll more than likely be found at Croft Park watching Blyth. I want to enjoy my football again and not get taken for a ride at the same time.

You know what, I wear my heart on my sleeve, when I wrote that I tried to ignore our deficiencies and look at how well we were doing.  If being optimistic and looking on the bright side of things regarding the club I love is a sin, I'm a sinner.

 

What I don't need is some Scottish arsehole from Edinburgh who supports two sides, with character so weak he's bullied day in day out in his call centre job taking the piss.

 

The sad reality is though fans voting with our feet will happen but not to the extent that it will dislodge Shepherd. There's no tangible waiting list now, it was 15-20,000 apparently before Souness, and having jacked the book last year, I don't care where we are I will be getting it back next season. It hurts me to say I'm part of a big matrix, he knows he's got me, and he's got many more. If the Toon only average 42 or 43,000 next season which is a possibility I can only imagine the abuse we as fans will get but how much do we have to take?

 

I really feel sad about Newcastle, I honestly do. I give it the big bravado all of the time "we're moving in the right direction, things are looking great, we still make £90m a year, we've got England internationals, Roeder's doing alright." I delude myself into a comfort zone all of the time. No disrespect to Guvs, Manchester City are shit. They didn't dominate the game, but were worthy winners, so what does that say about us? The best player on the pitch, I saw in the flesh in 2000, at Euro 2000 in Brussels, and he scored an unreal goal, yet he was the only quality on the pitch, he's not a City player yet, and we should sign him. I mean it as well, we should sign him.

 

Now what a come down from the last few years for us though against Man City up here. The last twice we've played Charlton at home have been 0-0 non-events two of the most boring games in the last decade, now yes your ill-informed will say "you've won fuck all for 38 year why whinge now" but we pay top four transfer fees, top four wages, get top four attendances, is it not right we should expect at least a genuine fuckin fight at home to Man City and Charlton?!?! we're a victim of our own expectation in many ways, but fucking hell, look at Wenger 10 years at Arsenal making the fucking club a profit, Dein running it well, fucking gaining a world wide fan base comparable to anyone in 10 fucking years, yet Fatty I know best "and will never appoint another foreign manager after Gullit" has killed us.

 

"Look at the toon's youth system". I'll open myself right up here, by saying 5 of the best 7 English players of the last 25 year have come from within 8 miles of Newcastle. Yet where are they now. Who has Tyneside produced in the last 5 years? Carrick is a good player yes. Did he slip though the net? Yes. Taylor shows signs of being a top class, but in centre half terms he's a baby who's prone to mistakes. That really is it since Shearer, who was another who slipped through the youth system. Clarkie and Stevie Watson were class players, they were, but they never achieved what their abilities should've demanded. So of the current crop of geordies all that has come through, and fuck Chopra never good enough, is Carrick and he slipped through the net.

 

Of Bryan Robson, Waddle, Gazza, Beardsley and Shearer only Gazza was caught before anyone could get him, and in a football area which has equals, like Manchester and Glasgow in terms of importance of the game on peoples lives, but no piers, that is a disgrace. In 2007 it hasn't changed.  We have some decent youths coming though, but you know yourself when a good youngun is coming through a clubs ranks, everyone hears about it years before they get to the first team squad about what a world beater they could be. We evidently have no one like that.

 

We're in 2007 and fat fuckin Freddie insists he'll never appoint a foreign coach. All of the top clubs now, have youth systems teaming with foreign talent, 15, 16, 17 from Africa, all over Europe, America and why is that? Because people like Wenger know the key thing is to developing new talent is to cast the net as far as they can. We can't rely on Tyneside as a fishing field anymore, if you've got a shit net, all you're going to catch is fuckin empty tins of coke, and fuckin tadpoles. If you've got a big quality net you're going to get the big fish, and Wenger appreciated this a long long time ago. Look at the players Wenger grabbed off the streets virtually (some via the clubs links with Beveren which he's heavily involved with)....George Weah, Petit, Eboue, Toure, fuckin Henry from the french football school. Many people mentioned it a while ago, the toon need and always have needed a top manager to take us to the top. The best managers historically in English football have always been Scottish, certainly in the last 50 years, there are no great Scottish managers anymore other than Fergie, the last great English manager was Robson, it's time to look for a foreign manager, and we should start using Arsenal as the template to being a brilliant club. Not just us, but every team that strives to be fantastic. The only way I can think of that we're better than Arsenal is our fans are probably more passionate, apart from that, they are the epitome of what I want us to become, I might sound fickle, and I've backed Roeder, but until we get a top foreign manager to change our ideas we'll be trailing in their wake.
