Newcastle Thread - 2023/24

Around 700 of the 6,000 strong contingent of travelling supporters have paid £600 a head to purchase special hospitality tickets in the Black Cats suite which comes equipped with a bar. In an attempt to welcome them – or possibly reduce the prospect of any vandalism – the normally red and white themed suite was specially redecorated with black and white banners and signage emblazoned with slogans including “We are United”. Bizarrely, “Cheer up Peter Reid” a reference to the Newcastle fans once favourite ditty about the former Sunderland manager, also featured.

Has another Newcastle fan been trying to punch a horse or is that an old picture being used by the Telegraph?

I wonder if the telegraph will be forced to apologise to the geordies for insinuating that they are all horse punchers in the same way that ITV had to apologise to the scousers for suggesting that they are all ticketless queue jumping scumbags even tho there is much more evidence to suggest that they are that than their is to suggest all geordies are horse punchers

Been done to death but football is the only industry that forbids inward investment it’s akin to a corner shop owner being prevented from investing by the big 5 supermarkets
NUFC can only grow slowly by revenue increasing, but they have even put measures in place to stall that, they need to concentrate on success on the pitch which increases prize money and development of the academy to fund transfers. One option they are looking at is development of SJP or a re stadium to progress match day revenue but even that will be some years down the line

Problem is, when I think back to Chelski's early Prem dominance due to Abramovitch funds that I didn't think City would ever see the likes of, I thought it was unfair. Chelsea could buy the best, pay the most = League Wins. We were languishing behind like many teams and unless we got our sugar daddy we couldn't ever compete. Luckily.....for us..(maybe) we got one ourselves, so we win. Not every team can get a sugar daddy like ours of course. For the majority - without FFP they will never win - that's not good for the game. I hated looking up without a hope so It's churlish for me now to agree and say scrap FFP
