Save the St James 1!

[Hamilton]

I think this bloke should have any fine paid for by football fans around the UK.

All he has done is try to reclaim the traditional name of Newcastle's ground from the money men. Sports Direct Arena I ask you!?

I think the Geordies should give themselves a day off hating the owner who has made them financially stable again, got £35million for Andy Carroll and helped re-establish them as half decent Premier League outfit...

For all the good work he has done, it does make you wonder why he did such a stupid thing in renaming the stadium.

Christ, that's worse than I remember it - looks like the old quarry works between Shoreham and Steyning.

Because unlike lots of other owners in the Premier League he is actually trying to run a sustainable football club and not one that either needs the backing of a billionaire or huge bank loans.

Naming rights equals money

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

Er, no.

Er, yes. Without Ashley Newcastle would be in dire trouble.

 

[Spiros]

If the Newcastle fans feel so strongly about the name of the ground they could always have a whip round and buy the naming rights themselves. After all there's loads of them and they are 'the best fans in the world'

I really hope someone paints it back on there tonight as well

Bollocks to him, idiot shouldn't have got caught. Many modern stadiums are sold for naming rights, why does he think that Newcastle United, should do it any differently?

He should have either been a bit more careful, or, as a supporter of a perennial underachieving side, be grateful of the efforts of the people running the club who are trying to fund them in such a way as they can challenge at the top end of the Worlds greatest football league.

What a load of crap. Ashley has all the looks of a bloke sat in the stand thinking "where did it all go right?" The very idea that this is down to Ashley's careful football strategy is ridiculous. Newcastle are having a lucky run and punching way above their weight. The Magpies are just a plaything to Ashley and something he would have been rid of quite happily 24 months ago. He is not interested in the football supporters of the North East or what it means long-term to them. He is interested in short-term gain. If a merger with Sunderland was on the cards and it would make him money then I could see Ashley being the last person to turn it down.

Yep!

Yes, he loves the old name so much he couldn't punctuate it correctly! Or maybe he was in a rush.

Sports Direct Arena is no more dumb than Stadium of Light. (Other than the fact that, in the UK at least, arenas are typically indoors)

 

[wakeytom]

Exeter play at the real St James' Park, end of, leave the barcodes to the Sports Direct Arena of shite

 

[goodoldsussexbythesea]

Anyone got any spray paint? I HATE Bloom for naming FALMER the Amex

Although the Stadium of Light was a brand new stadium, rather than a renamed Roker Park, which somehow makes it more palatable.
