surely i am not alone here...one after another 'new member' 'long time lurker' 'low post number' are appearing and not one has anything remotely positive to say, all questioning the lads trying to offer a bit gossip (yep, that is all it is, gossip and it is as likely to be true as not be true but some seem to hang on every word as if it is gospel waiting to pounce) can one of you please, and this is a genuine request, tell me why you have to be so negative...why can you not either join in the chat without the agression/ignore the entire episode/sit and read and wait to see what happens?

personally, i choose to think the lads are passing on what they have genuinely heard, they may turn out to be correct or they may find out it was bollox but i just cannot see why anyone would get so het up about it, i mean, it is hardly as if they are asking for cash for each bit of info, they stand to gain absolutely nothing from passing it all on yet some feel the need to dig, dig and dig again hoping to 'trip them up', honestly it is so damn childish from adults.
Some immature people just can’t accept that someone else has connections they don’t have and get information they don’t get. Just accept it you lot - no matter how much you know, there’s always someone who knows more!
 
You might well be right mate, it suggests a level of cunning I don't think they have but it's certainly possible. I suspect he's just a tit who needs to see a doctor but I really don't know.
Even after all this time I have not the slightest clue what William Storey is doing regarding SAFC. I don't know if he's insane or everyone else is but it makes no sense and never has done. Yet it's still going on.
I like him. He is a character; a bit odd, but a character. Where would we be without the characters of this world? Shields used to have a number of characters: hacky-baccy, and the bloke who used to live in the gents toilets at the Westoe fountain bus stop and wouldn’t let anyone in to have a piss because it was his home. Admittedly, some of them were alcoholics, which is tragic, but in my opinion they added a bit of colour to the town.
 
Just been woken up by a noise outside, looked at my phone and there's a message that we can expect news of a new sponsor, bit controversial ...

... probably renaming the SOL, The Newcastle Brown Stadium <laugh>


That's about all it said plus a link to an Arsenal player I've posted on the transfer thread. Back to bed <doh>

Storey always reminds me of the guy we used to call ‘The Commuting Tramp’ because he was always on the metro https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/inside-story-death-tynesides-most-4037054

A betting firm called SpreadEx was mentioned over the road for the shirt sponsor. They sponsored Burnley apparently
 
That reminded me of a series of excited texts I got late the other night.

The gist was that Niall Quinn was involved in another group wanting to buy into the club <laugh>

I didn't post it, because I think it's just wild gossip, but looking at Quinn’s face at Wembley made me wish it was true.
I bet this info turns up over the road today :-D
 
Roker Report saying last night they had big news in their morning round up….
