NUFC ticket deal aims to make St James' a cauldron

NEWCASTLE United managing director Derek Llambias believes that the roaring cauldron of noise that is St James’ Park is enough to put any team off their game.

And that the Toon Army are the key to ensuring the Magpies fend off the threat of relegation this season.

United have 27 precious points in the bag, but with 18 more to play for on home soil, the Toon’s MD knows that “intimidating” Fortress SJP will be vital in their fight to ensure survival – and perhaps kick on to a top-10 finish.

Clashes with Southampton, Stoke and Fulham are the games that are likely to push the black-and-whites towards their minimum target of the magic 40 mark, but with Liverpool, Arsenal and then the big one against Sunderland in the Tyne-Wear derby to come, United have made steps to ensure that the Geordie fans are crammed in to squeeze the living daylights out of the opposition.

That’s what happened against Chelsea when poor Petr Cech said afterwards: “I have never heard noise like it in my life when Newcastle scored, this place is unbelievable.”

Fans will be able to buy a six-game package from as little as £110 for adults and £55 for juniors – and that includes free entry to the Tyne-Wear derby in April.

And looking ahead to the run-in, Llambias told the Chronicle today: “This isn’t about finance.

“We’ve already got three sell-outs in that six-game deal.

“It is about filling the stadium.

“We benefit as a club and a team as it becomes a fortress here.

“That’s the whole idea. If we can generate an atmosphere like Chelsea every home game then this is a tough place to come.

“We talked to different people who aren’t connected to us.

“We talk to agents of different players and they say they don’t like coming here. It is intimidating.

“That’s what we need every week.

“If we can do that, we’ll find ourselves in the right space.”

Too long , there's still page 2 so I ended here. Visit the webpage if you want to read all the other stuff that Lee Ryder has gotten from Derek Llambias.

Petr Cech seems impressed with us and the noise. How about putting in a cheeky 5m bid for him
just kidding of course , we've Krul.

 

I had not heard that Petr Cech quote before!! Makes my heart swell with pride!!!
Come on Toon!!!

 

It shows the importance of strong vocal support

 

Good to see them applying some long term sense over short term financial gain on ticket prices. Those home games will be vital, so filling the stadium and having 50,000 roaring the lads on could be invaluable. If it makes the difference then it's a very good move.

 

I read in the Journal today that tickets for the mackem game were unlikely to make general sale. That frightened me into getting 3 season tickets. £360 for three for six games including the derby.

I've never missed a derby at home since 1973 ~ Don't intend to miss this one.

 

3 tickets? Have you got a massive arse?

 

Me and me two daughters.

 

Sure it isn't Mrs Palmer and her 5 daughters?

Sorry, can't rep anybody at all for some reason. Can't remember repping you too recently though. I feel as if I really am in jail.
