Have YOU Signed Up For Big Sam's New-Look Newcastle?

 

THERE'S still time for YOU to get behind the new-look Newcastle United as we prepare for the 2007/08 season ...

 

It's been a busy summer at St. James' Park with a new owner taking control, Sam Allardyce being appointed manager and the top-class international quartet of Mark Viduka, Joey Barton, David Rozehnal and Geremi joining the Magpies.

 

It promises to be an exciting campaign ahead and YOU can show your backing for the team by signing up for a season ticket today.

 

Season tickets are available today from the NUFC Box Office (tel 0191 261 1571) and if you buy yours NOW you can take advantage of the cheaper prices on offer up to August 1. A full list of season ticket prices for 2007/08 appears at the bottom of the page.

 

Big Sam is certainly looking forward to having the backing of full houses at Gallowgate as he settles into life on Tyneside.

 

He said: "Our success next season will be built around how well we do at St.James' Park.

 

"I know during my early days at Bolton it was an extremely hard place to come and I was always delighted if I could leave with a point.

 

"We have the players to beat any team at St.James' and, with the right team spirit and a few additions, I'm sure that will happen next year.

 

"Getting results at home is so important because it sends your supporters home happy, and it's up to me to make sure that happens.

 

"I know what it's like to come here as an opposing manager and have 50,000 Newcastle fans getting right behind their team.

 

"Now it's great to know I'll have that support on my side at St. James' Park.

 

"I want this to be a place where teams know we are going to be very difficult to beat.

 

"With the help of the fans I want us to build something special here. Their backing is so important for us."

The waiting list is a load of bollocks. I was on it, phoned them up and was told 'oh we'll be sending letters out eventually but you can just have one now if you want'. Amateurs. :lol:

We've sold 22,000 compared to 11,000 at the same time last year, apparently. That 19k figure is the figure we squeaked up to with half season ticket offers etc.

 

Going through the prime ST buying months last summer with Ellis, O'Dreary and no money was absolutely crippling to us.

That looks mostly bollocks to me............ like Liverpool have 60,000 on a waiting list FFS!?!?!?!?

 

Where were they when Liverpool got 34k at home to Pompey in the League a few years back (2004 I think)??
