Looks like a new stadium is pie in the sky

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/feb/21/newcastle-owner-st-james-park-future-stadium

 

Read that and there’s a tag line for an image “Newcastle fans create a raucous atmosphere for big home games…”

Now I know we don’t, and the atmosphere since moving the away fans has been poor, but I thought they did that every game? Even when losing? That’s what they all tell you

 

I've posted about this before as I have Mag relatives involved in Newcastle city affairs. The club are just playing games, in my opinion, and drip feeding journalists stories to build pressure on the council.

These scare stories, about playing in Sunderland or Edinburgh are nonsense. Newcastle have been through all these Town Moor/Leazes Park/Gosforth scenarios before and made no progress.

The current owners would have to commit to another five years to either rebuild SJP or construct a new stadium away from the city centre. Newcastle has taken advantage of cheap accommodation, for decades, but they’ve painted themselves into a very tight corner. They’ve ’tarted up’ SJP many times and I’d bet that’s what happens again even though it’s gradually decaying.

 

It always was, really. The talk if a new ground was just a bit of bluff to get them all excited and distracted. Now the realities are kicking in and the Saudis look less interested than before, so no new mega stadium for them, Sid James' getting a bit of a tart up and being painted as "keeping the spiritual home" just to distract them.

 

Had the most bizarre interaction with a mag the other day at work. For context I live in NZ, so bumping into one is a rarity in itself. I was leaving work and I cycle home. But always wear my safc tops. This guy in the lift started to look at my safc badge. Then burst out oh your a mackem in a very kiwi accent. Then started to say oh my fatha is on his way to pick me up. Better not let him see you. Go outside and he starts shouting to his dad. Fatha a mackem while pointing to me. Then this old guy in his 70's starts shouting out his car plastic geordie. To which I said no mate, I'm from birtley just outside of chester-le-st. Weird ****s.

 

The constant need, to indulge in this playground behaviour, is embarrassing ...

... nothing like your story but I got off the train at Central Station today and the fella who has the little souvenir stall booed me

 

Strange bunch mate. This old guy then proceed to tell me he is from throckley. For whatever worth that was haha.

 

Might be just wishful thinking on my part, but after reading that I got the impression that they’re starting to leak news to prepare the unwashed for money being spent on a new training ground and the landfill just getting a coat of paint.

Chortle

 

They are special like

 

He thinks it’s perfectly fine to jump the queue, in front of other Newcastle supporters, and buy tickets like this …

… that’s bad enough but, as Mags love to do, goes running to the papers with his sob story.

Like the Mag whose arm was completely burnt off at the SOL

 

Go back far enough there was that nugget who took the mags to court when they got relegated in 1989 under the trades description act claiming they weren't playing football. He was in loads of newspapers and on TV at the time. He was as thick as a whale omelette but obviously thought he was clever and got encouraged by other mags. That's when I realised as a kid that that lot were definitely weird.
