I can't be arsed replying on Twitter as they simply round on you, as per guidance.

But a question for @mag in peace etc. - is Spanish City synonymous with Newcastle? I would never have though of it.

Only the creator knows if its inclusion, and its similarity to a mosque is a nod to the new owners.

How would they have reacted if a mosque was included pre PIF? Surely they would be asking why?

The only thing I can think of is they play local hero by Dire Straits as a run out song. One of their other songs mentions Spanish City. I don't think it's linked but all that comes to mind

Pre match in the toon looks to have changed a bit recently - all looks very normal.

The flag was made in 2018/19 if I'm right before there was any chance of a takeover. It's been included for reasons that it is a landmark that means a lot to folk from Newcastle in their youth. Whether it was as the lazer zone or whatever other variations it took over the years. It brings back fond memories of the whole area for many.

In all honesty, I'm not arsed by it. The fact it resembles a mosque had no bearing at all.

Edit - as for its inclusion if it was a mosque pre takeover I don't think fans would have mind at all. Cisse and Ba and Ben Arfa? were all very successful practicing Muslims and we have Muslims in our fan base. I don't think fans would have minded at all.

A few days ago you said you weren’t ever going to comment on anything concerning the takeover again, That didn’t last long.
