Anyways, Helen Dalby the vixen editor asked me if ah wanted to go down the football manager computer game route and ah gave her the look ah gave to Watford's top boys in burger king from the coach I was in when ah drove past once. Ah said me Atari days were in the past and me loyal punters wouldn't be so loyal if ah went ahl techno nerd on them, laughed, flicked open Alan Oliver's old little black book, had the phone in me hand and before Hell's Bells could hide her admiring look at iz ah had Malcolm Allen's take on the takeover, a shit hot retro story and ah telt her to just give the nerdy PC stuff to the bairn.

Kid Dynamite 5874 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Chelsea tickets went on general sale today. What a ball ache trying to buy 2 for me and my Dad! The entire level 7 is a family area so you can only buy adult tickets with a kids ticket. No bother I thought, I'll take the bairn too. Except there's a limit of 2 tickets per person so you have to allocate the 3rd ticket to a pre-existing supporter number. Spent ages signing my Dad up for his own account only to find out you need to buy a ticket before you find out what your supporter number is 🤦🏻 Ended up scrapping the whole thing and buying a single ticket to go on my todd. Then 2 tickets together magically reappeared!!! 🤬 Anyway, long story short, anyone want a ticket for the Chelsea match. £41, face value 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4182 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Im not remotely conflicted if it helps. I love Newcastle United and have done for my whole life and I don't like human rights abuses. There is no conflict to be had just like I have never felt conflicted about loving this club with any of our previous owners, or players or managers knocking about. "What is a club in any case?" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said, the problem is that elements of the media and other supporters in general will twist it such that supporting the club is tantamount to supporting the regime. So even when it doesn't apply it's easier just to say it so that things can progress. The separation between club and owner has already been in effect here for more than 10 years, the difference now becomes that we're likely to see advancement in footballing and facilities and general professionalism under the new owners as it will be run as a business on a completely different level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion there’s a large amount of animosity and resentment towards NUFC supporters that dates from the Keegan days when we were Sky’s poster child. This is now playing itself out in attacks in the media and social media, the strawman being that if we don’t walk away from our club we support human rights abuses and a tyrannical regime. Of course our protests against Ashley were ignored by the sane people and supporters have always been treated as extras in a showbiz production. Now somehow we're supposed to have a say in who owns our club, applying moral standards that literally don’t apply to anyone else. I genuinely think it’s rooted in anti-Geordie sentiment - whether it’s people who hate the north east or pandering to people who do - and a general desire to shit on our good fortune and spoil the feel good factor. I think there are many people who see the north east as some sort of poverty stricken loserville and can’t stand anything which goes against that narrative. tldr: everyone hates us and we dont care 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still feel a bit conflicted. On the one hand, I’m excited about what is to come on the football field after years of stagnation, I can’t pretend otherwise, but I wish the money behind the takeover was from somewhere else. I’m sure we will all be able park our feelings about Saudi atrocities and get back to supporting the team on Sunday. But any future success will always be intertwined with the Saudi regime. If we ever win anything we’ll be told we bought the title by jealous rivals and media pundits and the dirty money accusations will never go away. Will we care in the moment? Probably not but it’ll always been there in the background. Perhaps one of the Man City fans who joined the board recently can shed some light in that regard.
