If you relocate to France though won't that just mean you'll get back the 40% and then actually be 20% down on the 60% sales you have now? You'll just have the same hassles for selling to UK as you currently have for selling elsewhere won't you?

This whole thing is designed to get the "working class Tories" back on side. As others have said produce the watered down report and ensure the Murdoch press hail that as innocence then a few weeks later drop the Met case and all is forgotten, then its simply a case of Priti sacrificing a few thousands migrants in the channel (which she's more than happy to do for the sheer fun of it) and all the knuckle draggers are fully paid up members of the Tory party again and back banging the "biased media" gong. This country is an absolute shitshow

bastards 😢

Ooooh what types? Lets swap scar stories!

Well here goes with mine. I'm guessing I was still around when my son was born. He's now 12 and the second tallest in the house. Finally remarried, moved house half a dozen times before settling in Morpeth. Lost my dad and then got 2 different cancers within 6 months of each other (luckily neither of them were the plums). Made the jump and left the Civil Service, now working for a major IT supplier, wish I'd done it years ago. Oh and became foster carers...which is a hoot 😶

I think I probably knew all that from Twitter to be fair

Congrats cobber....(do they say that there?)

Keeps a little notebook of grafitti he's read on toilet doors

It's a good 10 years since I regularly frequented these parts so for the oldies (well everyone really)... sum up your last 10 years in a post..

Apologies I didn't say this yesterday but I'm not sure it was ever acknowledged just how much Ant did for this place, he took over the reins when I couldn't hack it any more and turned this place around technically...obviously the quality of the posts went downhill but thats everyone else's fault not (just) Ant's and was probably down to me not being around more than anything.

Hmmm I missed that at the time 😒

All worked our for the best mate, its got me back here!

Let's see what's going on here like..

Sorry if I've misunderstood that Cath, Did he die due to drink?

RIP Jon, One of the real old timers and a fine person to boot.

That view of Newcastle though isnt helped by our own local journalists. Take the Chronicles Sophie Doughty, Ive taken the piss out of her a couple of times on twitter for having the following line in her stories "....where houses sell for upto £....." She had it in an articel about a murder in an "exclusive part of Jesmond" where (and I shit you not) the words were "where houses sell for upto £250k". Fuck me man, £250k gets you piss all these days but anyone from out of the area must have thought "what a pissing shit hole". All of these kind of things go towards promoting the down trodden, shitty part of the world that others want to believe. Wonga and Sports Direct are just an extension of that myth.

I dont believe for a second that the aim of the meeting is to reverse the decision, to be fair it would be commercia suicide, having to redo tops etc and basically would be telling any other potential sponsors to steer clear of us. Also the meeting hasnt been arranged by the club but by a fans group. I think the overall reasoning is to give both the club and company an insight into why some fans have quite extreme views of this, maybe with a view to changing some approaches etc rather than an all out "Fuck off Wonga" approach.

Leave WH Smith out of it, they've been a mainstay of the High Street stationery supplies for years.

I've been invited to take part in a debate next Monday involving Wonga, the club, local MPs and Citizens Advice Bureau and would be interested in the boards view overall of the sponsorship deal and what it means to fans. Just how strong are your feelings towards the company? is it bringing down the good name of our club or is it really not a problem at all as far as you're concerned. What concerns do you have? is the recent talk of regulation and criticism from the likes of Church of England etc a worry when it comes to the company upholding its side of any deal. Overall, do we really give a shit as long as the club brings in money or is this really a big deal? oh and hello folks, owt been happening while Ive been away?
