Didn’t Wonga ask them to drop the Sports Direct stadium name change after they became our shirt sponsor?

Yep (apparently).

 

They also supposedly paid for the old gates to be placed in front of a wall.

Used to piss me off that on Google Maps/taking a photo on iPhone it would always have the location as 'Sports Direct Arena'.

 

Utterly rank. Can't wait for the fat fuck to disappear/pop.

If it benefits the club yes. If just the owner no. Ideal world no.

No chance under any circumstances for me, no matter who benefits.

Naming a new stadium is just kind of expected so if we ever reach that point then fine.

 

Renaming of SJP just seems wrong, and I don't see how it has enough benefit. Surely they can find enough other avenues to up revenues without needing to do such a thing?

It would seem a bit of an unnecessary PR blunder if they did rename it, for that reason I can't see it, certainly not early on.

They could just rename a stand (East Stand), and use that as an excuse to throw loads of money at it.

Was thinking that.

 

Or throw even more money at it, build a small stadium for the stiffs as part of a wonderful new training complex and name that (when I say stadium, I mean a pitch with about 10 rows all the way round).

Be some amount of tutting in the East Stand if it's named after anything foreign.

Middle East Stand?

Middle East Stand?

 

Middle East Stand?

😂😂 That's mint!

Middle East stand. Howling.

Middle East Stand?

 

Middle East Stand?

And the northest part of the east stand should be named "The North East Stand", sponsored by Newcastle Brown Ale.

I almost welled up on my run this morning as SJP came into view from the Walker riverside walk. It's fucking majestic and I can't wait for it to get the care and attention it deserves.

 

This is near enough exactly what I was talking about: https://twitter.com/_NE28/status/1258054947536621568?s=19

 

Well this is fucking horrible, does The Strawberry not have a right to light ?

Maybe but if right to light was the most important thing there'd never be any city centre development anywhere.

It’s important to note that this particular development is not the development that is feared would block an expansion of the Gallowgate end. The developers and the owners of The Strawberry have also worked together and the Strawberry owners were in favour of the development.

Of course they were. The Strawberry has never give a toss about the fight against Ashley.

When or if the new owners come in,we need to knock the Leazes end down and put the old one back up.The blueprint must be somewhere.

You want to knock down the current fairly modern stand for a lower capacity stand?
