The penny has just dropped for me here, they’ve only actually started complaining to Fat Mike about the lack of maintenance at Sid James since we changed our seats :cool::cool::neutral::neutral:;)

Oh.

Touched a raw nerve ?

SJP may not be the best - but it is a PL stadium.

Sol?

The name itself was f***ing second hand - stolen from a Portuguese club...

The name has a totally different meaning to Benfica's. Ours honours the memory of miners, I'm sure that you must have had a relative who worked the pits? Now run along, I'm sure your own team needs your support , so go and join them, at any local shopping centre near you.If they are shut, you can always shout at the roller shutters.

Pointless, if they actually had football knowledge they wouldn't be mags.

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

Brave man, going against the party line that is:- everything and everyone North of the Tyne is either decrepit, stupid, dirty or all 3 intermingled. Respect.

What a sad little thread this really is.

And do you know what ? - if you were to go on toon forum no-one at all is slagging of SoL.

Nobody gives a shit....

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

Newcastle Rangers
Newcastle West End
Newcastle East End.

It was Rangers who initially built the ground on the site not West End or East End who eventually merged to form Newcastle United.
Click to expand...

Good knowledge, although East End used to play at Stanley Street and didn't move to SJP until they were merged with West End, so effectively Newcastle United, but didn't change the name for a few months. What i mean is Newcastle United aren't the 4th team to use it, as East End were already merged with West by the time East End took over the ground, just a name change.
 
Always thought, heading up to the ground from the City the stadium looks f***ing immense. Nobody in their right mind could argue that fact but fuck me, when you are in it, its totally different. It's the most disproportionate stadium in the country. The old stand to the left from the away fans is f***ing dwarfed (I remember when that was opened it was the bee's knees but was stuck, at one point, with two open terraces to each side and looked shite), even more so now. Honestly, it is totally lopsided and how anyone can think it is a class stadium (aside from the capacity) is way beyond me. f***ing hate it and the ***** inside it
