I remember Newcastle getting relegated and them sending Dawn Thewlis to Discount Tracksuit Thunderdome to do a report.
It went...
"I'm here outside St James Park where the mood is of devastation for the region, Newcastle United have been relegated, back to the studio..."
and that was it! When it was us the went on about it for the whole week.
Last time I was at Radio Newcastle I asked why Sunderland gets cropped off their logo and Newcastle is in the middle.
I got some half baked excuse about it representing the whole region.

Their excuse that they can’t change the name of the radio station (due to the brand name being too strong) is rubbish too , Opal fruits are now starburst, marathon is now snickers and treats are now M&M’s it can be done they just won’t.
