It is laughable to talk about a ‘strong relationship between Newcastle United and its supporters’ while at the same time treating us all like mugs, taking away the singing section, renaming the stadium, going into partnership with a payday lender, charging Newcastle fans a surcharge to travel away, plus making non-season ticket holders pay an extra £30 if they want to buy just one away ticket.

Like most things associated with Newcastle United these days this is an embarrassment, nobody giving a toss.

Talking of people who don’t give a damn, good to see that in two months Joe Kinnear has achieved all the things he claimed he would…

I just think that Ashley has cut everything at the club to such an extent that they don’t even have enough people working there to avoid embarrassing mistakes such as this.

However, there is a little bit of St.James’ Park still at…St.James’ Park, as I discovered the other day.

Naturally we ALL want this success to be built on strong foundations and not to dramatically crumble like happened after the departures of Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby.

We bring you your chance to ‘graffiti’ St.James’ Park and we’ll put your idea up in lights.

Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher played the Metro Newcastle Arena last night and as usual got into some ‘banter’ with the locals.

How he laughed as his jibe of “Looking forward to coming to the Sports Direct Arena” was met by a well aimed bottle from the crowd.
