The sense of being victimised by everyone comes through very strong in the comments, what ever happened to 'everyone's second club' image they were trying to put out - now they are shaping themselves as the Northern Millwall.

You can’t win with that lot. They’ve got the sports media bending over backwards to muff their hoops. They’ve even got their own newspaper and their very own tv station in bbc look no further than Newcastle. All this and they get all up in the air cos jaffa the Hutt can’t keep his hole shut. Precious buggers.
 

I work in Newcastle City Centre and have a good laugh at the meltdown about The Moose saying they aren't a big club.

I don't believe fanbase makes you a big club - the only metric for me is trophies, and they've won little to nothing for over 50 years. Their last league win was in 1922.

How on earth can they consider themselves a big club - plenty of average sized clubs have won more in this period.

I can't imagine Forest fans have this delusion of grandeur.

They simply can’t take any criticism. I’ve said it for years but I find a lot of them insecure. They constantly have to keep feeding their egos, not just about football but this whole ‘Geordie culture’

Probably already been mentioned, but what value did you put on Rondon and Kenedy in your detailed costing. Just that WBA and Chelsea value them at around the £35-38m mark.

Also, why do you not include the subs in this valuation, after all, Rafa bought most of them, just because Ki was a free transfer doesn’t mean he’s worthless, easily at least a £5m player, not to mention the likes of Muto, Manquillo, Atsu, Joselu, etc... all on the bench, quite a few bobs worth there.

All a bit of a pointless comparison really. Using this method, you have to wonder how Spurs manage when they can’t compete with Newcastle on the striker front, Joselu (£5m) compared with Harry Kane (£0).

Using his method, Leciester's first team that won the league recently cost £54m and they had a manager of similar history to FSW. Maybe, just maybe it's all about managing, not spending.

the Whole ground is absolutely disgusting and in a terrible state of neglect, as someone has said it looks like a 1970s abandoned warehouse in places and is starting to resemble Elland Rd. What an utter s*** hole the fat penny pinching c*** is turning it into, modern stadiums should be vibrant clean, inviting and appealing, Ive done the tour of Cowboys stadium in Dallas a few times and in the entrance way Jerry Jones has got marbled floor with this mineral that can only be found in one area of the states glistening in the floor ( this mineral gives out the same kind of blue as Cowboys blue) this cost him 3 million dollars to install. You see stadiums like that ran and operated by people with pride and who care about the product they own then you see ours which is morphing into a sports direct warehouse

Anyone got any novichok for Ashley

At the risk of being branded a Mag or worse, I was actually there last Tuesday with work and had a tour round ground, changing rooms, dug outs etc and I was thinking what a great stadium it looked.

TIN HAT ON
 
My favourite...


My first visit in a while and a couple of things...

The glass panels Milburn L7 towards the Gallowgate is filthy, absolutely filthy. The roof looks just as filthy.

Rust seems to have set in all over, inside and out.

You can see an N next to the N in the Newcastle United where the old one used to be. The Gallowgate roof is filthy.

SD signage looks sun ‘damaged’ and outside stadium signs look warped too due to heat/cold and faded as well. That’s not even considering how cheap and tacky they look. There are shops in Benwell selling beer and fags with better quality facia signage.

Inside...

It’s chaos, urinals and food and drink.

Stewards haven’t a clue. I was pointed well away from where my actual seat was by one, it took me all of a second to realise my row wasn’t where he was telling me to go.

When I got to the ground with my 4 year old I went into the Milburn reception area and straight away some bloke in a suit strode over to me and asked to see my tickets, how rude, no excuse me can I help you or anything, he was like a bouncer approaching a drunk.

I explained that I would like to use the lift facilities to get to my seat rather than climb level 7 steps with my 4 year old and because I have a dodgy knee. He said the lift doesn’t go to L7 and I was in the wrong place and told me to go to a turnstile.

I insisted on using the lift and had to tell him it goes to L6 and not L7 I know and that I could still access my seat all the same as I’ve done it many a time in the past. He was having none of it and said I would be unable to access my seat any other way than through one of the turnstiles.

At that point I said you’re wrong and he retorted by saying even if I was right he couldn’t allow me into the lift because my ticket would need scanned.

Anyway...

Surely a hand held scanner or some kind of ‘check in’ system with a stamp or whatever can be implemented? I wasn’t the only one turned away or met with rudeness. I left basically calling him a f***ing t***. I honestly got the impression his job is security first and not to assist or help people. Again he was more like a bouncer.

Food before kick-of, my son was hungry and while I’m loathe to give money to SD United I’m not denying my kid some food nor the match day experience on his big day out. I get to the counter and order whatever I order and ask if I can pay with my card, sorry we can’t take card payments. Ok, I go to pay with cash and they asked me if I had the right change as they are struggling and couldn’t take a 20 for example or even a tenner. Luckily I did.

It’s not the poor kid’s fault serving me, it’s the club’s. No signs saying cash only though.

Most of the staff looke miserable and sick of their lives, no enthusiasm, no manners, no customer focused attention, just robots or in the case of the lift prick, a rude jobsworth.

My son, 4, we are sat right near where wheelchairs go and there is like a metal gripped surface. He bangs on it like a drum and a steward comes over and just says to him stop. No excuse me or speaking to me his parent.

Maybe I’m expecting too much and becoming a miserable f***, but honestly, it all sucks and today reaffirmed to me why I don’t go nowadays and just how shitty the match day experience is, win or lose. Again how anyone draws enjoyment from that boggles the mind. I wouldn’t even put up with that if we were playing like KK’s entertainers. It’s unacceptable IMO.

Thankfully my son doesn’t care about any of that s*** and just wants to spend time with his dad seeing some goals, skills and tricks and good decent footy.

So... thank you Arsenal
