Tom 13836 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Can NUST do anything re. organising some mark of respect? Mark Douglas had been trying to get in touch with the clubs press officer but they were travelling and then the entire Enrique thing kicked off & he's found it difficult. I'm waiting on some Norwegian sending me some emails but what we've got at the moment should be enough for Mark to do his article & to pass onto the club and see what they can do for Tore and the Norwegian Newcastle fans. So something will be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghoulert 0 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) Like I told you in PM Tom, apologies for the late reply, I've started asking around for a bit more "personal" information about him without, hopefully being a douchebag. Apparently there was a few poster on newutd.no who knew him personally so I've posted in a thread started by "nortoon" who apparently reads this forum as well hoping someone will step forward and tell us a bit on who Tore was. Will PM you the moment I get anything more, and again thanks to all of you, even though I didnt know him personally its still brutal as there arent as many Newcastle fans in Norway as I'd like there to be. edit: and now I see you've gotten most of the info you need - again, sorry for the late replies. If theres anything else I can do, dont hesitate to ask. Edited July 26, 2011 by ghoulert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13836 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I wouldn't say personal as such, just accurate! You don't really want to get anything wrong that's all! Thanks very much for the help & we'll hope to get something done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13836 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Young NUFC fan killed in Norway massacre by Dan Warburton, Evening Chronicle Jul 26 2011 NEWCASTLE boss Alan Pardew today paid tribute to a young Toon fan gunned down during the Norwegian massacre. Tore Eikeland, who contributed to the Norwegian branch of Newcastle United’s fans’ group’s website, was missing for more than 24 hours following Anders Behring Breivik’s killing spree. Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg confirmed the 21-year-old was among 86 people killed at the youth camp on Utoya island during Friday’s killings. Pardew paid a heartfelt tribute to the budding politician who was president of the Hordaland branch of the AUF, the ruling Labour Party’s youth wing. He said: “On behalf of everyone at Newcastle United, we were horrified to hear of the tragedy in Norway and the senseless loss of innocent life. “Our thoughts go out to the families and friends of all the victims, especially to those of Tore Eikeland who we know was a huge supporter of Newcastle United and a keen contributor to a Norwegian NUFC fans website. “The players, coaching staff and everyone associated with the club send our heartfelt condolences to the Eikeland family and all those who lost a loved one that day.” Breivik shot dead at least 86 people at the youth camp on Utoya island after murdering another seven with a car bomb in the capital Oslo. During a court hearing yesterday he claimed to have “two further cells” in his terror organisation as he admitted the facts but pleaded not guilty to Norway’s worst atrocity since the Second World War. In a statement he said he wanted to save Norway and Western Europe from a Muslim takeover. It came as emotional tributes were staged across Norway. Erik Dale, a friend and colleague in Norwegian youth politics wrote online: “It is much too soon for you to go, Tore. A great friend with a great heart. A heart that beats for everyone.” A statement posted on Norway’s NUFC website said: “Eikeland has contributed a host of news, articles and ideas on NewUtd.no for years, and was a great resource person in the team. “There are no words in the Norwegian vocabulary that can describe this tragedy in a wide manner. It is so incredibly sad and sick that one madman could deprive more than 100 young people their lives with a senseless act of terrorism. “We will, on behalf of all Newcastle fans in Norway send deep condolences to Eikeland’s family and to thank him for all he has contributed on this page. Rest in peace, Tore.” Meanwhile, Newcastle City Council confirmed they will open a book of condolence at the civic centre’s Customer Service Centre today. It follows a message of condolence which has been sent to the Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and also the Mayor of Bergen, Newcastle’s twin city. A letter of condolence has also been sent to His Majesty the King of Norway, Harald V, a recipient of the Honorary Freedom of Newcastle. Coun Nick Forbes, Leader of Newcastle City Council, said: “For many years the people of Newcastle have had close ties with Norway and I am sure the whole city will join me in paying respects to those who have been affected.” The tributes and messages will be sent on to the Prime Minister of Norway.

Tom 13836 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 It was really more Mark Douglas and his news team but I hope it can be a minor condolence for your losses. Upon reading his work it's clear that Tore had strong feelings for Newcastle United as the rest of the Norwegian Newcastle Fans do so it's fair the club give something back.

If theres anything else I can do, dont hesitate to ask. Seemed to be about 2000+ Scandi's at Valerenga v The Toon. If Ryder was worth his pish he'd be pushing the Chronicle news teams to make a big thing of this imo. RIP Tore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Aitken's Debut 0 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Good effort Tom, the club could at the very least put a note in the programme as mentioned previously, even a minute's silence for Tore Eikeland and the other people who died wouldn't be inappropriate I reckon, not sure the club would do that though. Getting Eikeland 21 on a Toon top seems a fitting tribute to the lad and his support. RIP Tore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
