Toonpack

That's the bit I don't get. In all this talk of destruction of history, for example, Arsenal built flats on their's, Highbury is gone completely. THAT is destruction of history, SJP is and always will be SJP. Actually he may have played a blinder, he's taking all the shit, new sponsor (maybe) comes a long and it becomes FedEx at St James Park, "oooh look they've respected history and brought the name back" acceptance all round. (not that the name will go anywhere anyway). Don't some of these clubs have to move though as their current grounds aren't big enough and they can't develop them? It's still a kick in histories balls but is a bit more understandable imo. It's exactly the same in principle, need more revenue = fuck history. The issue here is, this isn't bringing in more revenue. he doesn't get it man Alex. He said he would "revaluate" his views on Mike Ashleys ambitions for the club, he thought we would spend the 35m for Carroll, but instead its been pocketed. The same as money from this name change will go. NUFC is just a vehicle to promote Sports Direct now, this is what he wanted, and there will be more to come yet. The likes of Toonpack etc will defend him until the day he sells, then they will change their position - but by then they will be tired of competing among the dross clubs again, although they won't admit it. Pocketed !! my favourite Leazes buffonery To do that effectively NUFC have to be succesfull P.S. I never said we would spend the Carroll money, but as ever comprehension remains incomprehensible to you. my favourite Toonpack denial state, he knows that he said for months that he would "give Ashley until 1st September", so maybe he will clarify what exactly he was waiting to see happen ? I won't hold my breath on this one. How many times Now for the last time (I promise), I said that come the 1st September we would know his intentions, he would either spend or recoup. It would appear he is recouping. Why don't you put that in your sig so you don't forget it. Maybe I could post it in pictures, maybe then you'd understand, though probably not.

It may well be, but for the chosen vehicle to work, NUFC has to have a decent profile.

It is an attempt to generate cash, no more, no less, and as per my point above, is alot less of a destruction of "history" than bulldozing the place. Doesn't make it right, but needs must and all that. The commercial beast won't slow down. Stamford Bridge won't be Stamford Bridge next season. What effects fans most, the change of a name (which fans won't use anyway) or the switch of a game at a late stage to a different day, which has the most REAL tangible effect ? One is accepted with no furore the other starts a war. What's better a multi-year ticket price freeze or the change of a name. How much more would those who go, pay to save the name.

It's still a kick in histories balls but is a bit more understandable imo. It's exactly the same in principle, need more revenue = fuck history. I wouldn't say it's exactly the same, at least a stadium move due to expansion gives more fans a chance to follow their team. Obviously the club will be happy with the increased revenue but put it this way, I doubt the Arsenal fans kicked off as much as we are about this. It's exactly the same, clubs move to generate more money, fan considerations do not enter into it. Do you think the driver for any move is because "we want to let more fans in" or "we want more money". I firmly believe it's the latter, there's a market (revenue stream) there let's expoit it .I don't believe post the move (Arsenal in particular) reduced/maintained the ticket prices to get more bodies in, the extra bodies are milked as far as is possible.

Which is the point of my quote. It's rememberance day! Imagine If our soldiers just though fuck it, we'll let the Nazi's invade cos there's not much we can do about it. Considering Stevie et al make such a fucking fuss about how awesome our fans are it's disgusting how apathetic we are. Keegan wouldnt have let it happen, Shearer wouldnt have let it happen, Bobby wouldnt have let it happen. MA doesnt want to sell the club anymore. Its making him cash now. Hes halved the wage bill, conned the fans into another 5000 season tickets and thousands more on 10 year plans, the outrage at us selling our best players gets less and less each time it happens. He's fucking laughing all the way to the bank and people are doing fuck all about it. Sub 20k crowds for the rest of the season would have the worlds media sitting up and taking notice and would have MA looking like a prized bell end. I've done my part. So less of the fucking grief Stevie eh, until you pull your finger out your arse and do something other then bitch and moan on here you havent got a leg to stand on It's about the team on the pitch on any given matchday and their performance on that day, is having the team struggle/plummet worth it to "get back" at an unpopular owner. The only way he's going anywhere is if the teams doing well, he recoups his subsidies and he makes a wedge on his shares.

That's the bit I don't get. In all this talk of destruction of history, for example, Arsenal built flats on their's, Highbury is gone completely.

You could be right, BUT for it to truly be a benficial vehicle for SD, NUFC has to have a high level of exposure and therefore has to be succesfull. So there may not be a direct benefit, but for part A to work part B has to be right as well especially as he's looking to crack foreign markets, he's got the UK all but stitched up. Also, catching up on this thread, there appears to be a conspiracy to commit a crime being hatched, take care gents, the bizzies'd love this, maybe some people should go back and edit their more emotive posts.

I find it hilarious that many want the team to implode just because they hate the owner. In a way if it did, it's all many on here deserve. Sadly such an implosion would also piss me off, so I live in hope.

oh fucking dear So what else is it about then SirJohnHallStandMag I still call it the Leazes btw

It comes down to what is a football club though. Football clubs have more and more over the last 50 years become the key form of regional and local representation. Newcastle United in particular as SBR said here "It's the noise , the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city". Feeling of belonging to somewhere. Somewhere that's constant, somewhere that's you, somewhere you belong to, and it belongs to you. In tribal terms Newcastle United are our window to the world. You go anywhere in the world you mention Newcastle, they are quite likely to know the football team, that's a fact. The colours, the stadium, the history and the heritage are sacred, it's not up for debate. We are playing with our identity here, and the fact intelligent people are pulling their y fronts down, touching their toes and saying goo on big Mike do you worst utterly sickens me to the core. That hasn’t changed, nor will it. We haven’t renamed the City or the area. I may be old, but you’re the dinosaur tbh. Football ceased to be all that you advocate the second it sold its soul to sky. It actually started to cease to be the passionate “working man’s game” the second they turned grounds into arenas by putting the seats everywhere and started the sanitisation process, music when the team comes out, thou shalt sit down (by law) thou shalt not swear etc. etc. They change fixtures at the drop of a hat meaning real fans who’ve booked travel etc lose out. (But hey real people losing real money doesn’t matter) People like me lost out because I had a season ticket but worked away from home and could only see weekend games (even then a Sunday was tricky as I often travelled then). So I was paying my money for just about nowt, yet I did for years and years, to me SJP is and will always be SJP, the fact that someone calls it something else is of no consequence to me. If you’re happy to subscribe to Sky and for the clubs to take the money all bets are off, the soul is already sold. What’s one more piece going to hurt. If you don’t have a problem with games at all and every day/night of the week, changed at the last minute, costing real fans real money and inconvenience, why have a problem with this. Until (and if) the TV money pit runs dry the REAL things that were important to fans and that made fans important, will never be important again. There’s no halfway house, it’s all in or nothing, if you embrace one part of the commercialism you can’t pick and choose the rest, because the money monster is thirsty and each and every revenue avenue will be exploited to the absolute maximum. I’ve accepted that fact and I hate it, almost as much as I hate the fact that cheating is now acceptable. Players, Stadiums (they’re not grounds any more) Training kits, the match day programe everything is an advertising hoarding. If the TV money goes away so will the Ashley’s of this world, and the major income stream for clubs will be the fans, we are nowhere near that and I doubt we’ll ever be there again sadly.

I add lots of value, if only you would read the facts that I post with monotonous regularity. Perhaps rational thought and comprehension are beyond you

It's these ridiculous hypothetical questions that make you come across as a cock. Well, it's actually much more than that but it doesn't help. What's most important, winning stuff or the "transient" name of the ground (given it'll always be SJP to me). We wont be the last to try and do this.

Ridiculous hypothetical question. As long as we have 10% who are mugs like you, they won't stop. I've said 100 times I'll still hate him if we win the Champions League. Why is it a ridiculous question. Would you personally, trade the name to win something ?? (just after your opinion, is all) I don't like him at all, but I'd drink his health if we won that.

Not defending it at all, just don't think it's as big a deal as many make it out tbh. Would you rather we be crap and play at SJP or be half decent and play at SDA ?

Every single one built since 1988 How many bricks at SJP were laid before then? What's that got to do with anything? It's the same land, the same place, the same history, the same Gallowgate burial land where hundreds of gypsies were hanged. Some people are clutching at straws here. Bricks and mortar and the people living in them are your cultural heritage, names of towns, village change over the years from roman to Anglo Saxon to Norman to medieval to modern. The football clu's heritage as you have just so beautufllu argues relates to it's place in the city, the gypsy burial ground, the old gate, the democratisation of common land in Leazes park. This is our history and a temporary name change won't chafe that. I agree it's part of the heritage but in the grand scheme of things it's a minor blot compared to previous crimes against the city. Exactly

I honestly did believe you were brighter than this. By linking the shirt deal with the toxic naming rights and quoting £10m for the privilege he's basically minimising the chance of anyone actually taking up the deal. Which means in a years time we will be wandering round with SD on our tops. You're going to mock me here but I think there's worse to come. Nov 11 - stadium name change to "promote the advertising potential" Feb 12 - Llambias blames fans for lack of transfer purchases & sale of Colo "your protests against name change is putting sponsors off" Aug 12 - no new sponsors therefore SD on shirts to "further promote the advertising potential". Oct 12 - Llambias blames fans for lack of transfer purchases & sale of Tiote & Cabaye "protests against name change is putting sponsors off" Feb 13 - Llambias blames fans for lack of transfer purchases & sale of Ba, HBA & Krul "your protests against name change is putting sponsors off" Aug 13 - Club announce they've been forced to add to sponsorship benefits. "have the strips in your corporate colours with your name on the front "amazing chance to fully sponsor a major Championship club for only £50m per season". Sports Direct step in and graciously offer to let use use Blue & Red as a showcase. Aug 15 - "On Sky Sports 7 today we have the clash of the titans, our new First Division coverage starts with a trip to the Sports Direct Arena as Sports Direct FC take on Brighton" meanwhile Football Club United Newcastle play their inaugural game against Hebburn Labour Club in front of a 30k crowd. I've made the statement & I stand by it. I will never set foot inside the Sports Direct Arena unless it is to take part in some organised protest, this is our club and our stadium it is not a corporate brand. It is Newcastle United FC @ St James' Park So you will be giving them the very excuse you state they need for all those things you predict. It is and always will be SJP, ignore it. Oh, and you'll never get 30K in Hebburn, it's south of the river, Newcastle can't be based south of the water, nee fucker'd go. Fuck off you cunt. I hate cunts like you. You mean hate people who don't cry at the slightest thing ??? Slightest thing1?!?!??!?!?!?! 130 years of history consigned to memory in one sweep. You fucking arsehole! Will the renaming of NUFC be a slight thing too. As I said last night it will never happen at Celtic or Man Utd. Imagine this "the Champions League Quarter Final between AC Milan and Chelse is live arfter the break from the Dominos Pizza Arena", it's as bad as what he's done. The two of them could spit roast your wife, "well I'm all for sanctioning positive feelings at boardroom level". You're a tit mate a fuckin tit. Consigned to memory, get a grip man, who amongst supporters (who are all that matters tbh) anywhere (except Sunlun for the wind up factor) is going to call it SD Arena. No-one who matters will. It is and always shall be SJP. Do I think what he's done is right, no. But it makes no difference unless you let it. You got over SD @ SJP, you'll get over this. Do you think Sky Sports and the BBC and the newspapers will be referring to where a game has taken place as SJP? You must be off your trolley pal, the whole world will think we now play at the SD Arena. I'd rather it was called the STD Arena than this. Kids will grow up, impressionable kids 8-14 and it will just be normal to call it the Sports Direct Arena, they'll grow wondering what the fuss is about SJP. He's done everything else you can do to strip a club of it's dignity, this is the worst, and the only lower he can go now is changing our colours and actually renaming the club. So what. If it works on the pitch, who cares. Up here, where it matters, it will always be SJP. If the team’s doing well and impressionable kids in Timbuktu, or elsewhere, think we play at SDA but buy shirts etc it doesn’t matter, IF (Big IF) that’s reflected on the pitch. What if we’d moved to a new stadium SJP would really have been consigned to memory as Highbury has been and Anfield or WHL likely will be. It’s all about the commercial stuff things these days, and new revenue streams, Man U (as you mention) don’t need to do it, they get tens of millions a year for a brand badge on their training kit FFS. If their money was tight don’t believe for a second Old Trafford would be sacrosanct. If you do you are naive in the extreme. (The Glazers have previous, albeit in a new stadium). Chelsea are already (and have been) looking at similar for a while. Would you trade winning something(s) for the name of the ground ?? (I would btw) On the wider front, he’s evidently after France’s biggest sports retailer, we’re currently “flavour of the month” in France, he ain’t daft is he. BUT for him to really use NUFC as a vehicle to maximise SD, NUFC has to do well on the pitch, which is all anyone wants, surely. What would you really prefer a deserted SJP and a struggling (plummeting team) or a succesfull team which plays at the SDA. Team colours and name would fall into my sacrosanct category by the way. He owns every atom of the club, it is his, he can, and will do what he wants. No amount of protests can change that, what they can change is the performance of the team on the pitch, in “Toonpack world” the team on the pitch is what the game is about. I care. People like me from Newcastle care. Not some old arsehole who has recently found the club since we were briefly a force in English football. The majority of people in the City care. Should we rename all of the roads too, because some fat billionaire who won't even be here in then years, hopefully dead, thinks it's a good marketing ploy??? Up here where it matters? Well I'm sorry we live in a global society now, and how we are seen our heritage, our IDENTITY, is as important to geordies as any other club in the world that I can think of. Where do you draw the line, shall we change the name of the city too, and fucking the country?? Why are team colours more important than the actual cathedral of our football team and it's name. SJP has been part of Newcastle longer than we have been black and white. I just can't get my head round how the tiny minority, I may add can shed any positive light on a fat cockney barrow boy dismiss 130 years of Newcastle upon Tyne heritage. It beggars belief. Are you trying to refer to me I was stood in that ground before you were born I went to bed last night and SJP was still there, I believe it still is. Would you trade the name to win something ???? (No proper football people/fans will call it SDA)

Which no doubt the blame of which will all be left with the fans...... Which would be right tbh, if indeed, there's a detrimental or poisonous atmosphere on match days. He owns the club lock stock and barrell, he can and will do what he wants, when he wants, no amount of angst will change that. It could however effect the team on matchday, which I always thought was the only important thing.

Toonpack already got a semi at the thought of hearing his sweet, sultry tones sooth him with talk of Sports Direct United. How old are you, seriously ?? Btw, What will you call the ground from now on ??? I would guess the same as me and everyone I know (and I would suggest every person in the North East and most likely football supporters everywhere), it will be St James' Park. The fact that Sky "may" refer to it differently in their shows is irrelevant. As I said it is and always will be SJP.

Oct 12 - Llambias blames fans for lack of transfer purchases & sale of Tiote & Cabaye "protests against name change is putting sponsors off" Feb 13 - Llambias blames fans for lack of transfer purchases & sale of Ba, HBA & Krul "your protests against name change is putting sponsors off" Aug 13 - Club announce they've been forced to add to sponsorship benefits. "have the strips in your corporate colours with your name on the front "amazing chance to fully sponsor a major Championship club for only £50m per season". Sports Direct step in and graciously offer to let use use Blue & Red as a showcase. Aug 15 - "On Sky Sports 7 today we have the clash of the titans, our new First Division coverage starts with a trip to the Sports Direct Arena as Sports Direct FC take on Brighton" meanwhile Football Club United Newcastle play their inaugural game against Hebburn Labour Club in front of a 30k crowd. I've made the statement & I stand by it. I will never set foot inside the Sports Direct Arena unless it is to take part in some organised protest, this is our club and our stadium it is not a corporate brand. It is Newcastle United FC @ St James' Park So you will be giving them the very excuse you state they need for all those things you predict. It is and always will be SJP, ignore it. Oh, and you'll never get 30K in Hebburn, it's south of the river, Newcastle can't be based south of the water, nee fucker'd go.

Surprised she didn't winkle it out of him, guess he must have clammed up
