Ashworth could turn out to be a great acquisition for the club, as could Eales as CEO. I don’t think either have had an impact on the club yet as they’re both still getting their feet under the table. Ashworth did help out in the Summer Transfer Window but he didn’t have a lot of say because we had already identified our targets. It looks like we’re going to step up our presence in Brazil to try and tap that market for good value players and I think we’ll be paying good money for potential. I’m more than happy with that until we can get our academy working.
The club are spending a lot of time talking to the local city council as we work on what we can do to increase our capacity as we could probably get another 30,000 and that’s before we win anything. We’re also doing some work at the training ground to improve it but we’re also working on a brand new state of the art training ground which will bring the academy, women’s team and men’s facilities all within the same facility.
It's probably the most excited that I’ve ever been supporting Newcastle and I started watching us when you won your second league title when you beat us 4-3. I was really young back then so remember more about the occasions than the games as my uncle used to take me because he didn’t have his own kids back then. I think I was his excuse to go.
