Guest GreenGoose Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I saw that autocorrect was changing it when I was posting but couldn't quite work out what it should be so left it in. As thick as it makes me sound, how should it go? I'm only playing with you. "infrastructure" is what you meant, I'm just being a wee pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirodo Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Fanzines? Who needs fanzines when you've got Owlstalk? They haven't got internet yet in Geordieland so they have to rely on outmoded methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Before I get slated for posting this, please read the whole thing and look at the possitive message I am trying to project. Am in Newcastle for a day trip and decided to take a trip to their ground. I have to admit, the difference between them and us is huge. Obviously the stadium is much bigger but it is so much more up to date. It has several businesses incorporated into it as well. The shop is at least twice as big and has four times the stock. Because the stock is in much bigger bulk it is much cheaper as well. £7 for a golfing umbrella, £11 for a hoodie etc. You go into a newsagents and there are several fanzines available. Can't remember the last time I saw a Wednesday fanzine. So why am I pointing this all out? I'm not doing it to slag Wednesday off, but we still have a long way to go. Perhaps getting to the Premiership will do it, but I suspect we need to be more proactive than that e.g. Get the stadium upgraded, improve the commercial side, get the club a bigger image in the local area etc. The good news is that I think we have an infer structure in place now that will allow us to start making these changes. Having been so impressed with the size of Newcastle United, I can't wait until we can start to catch up to teams like this. But don't rebrand Hillsborough to the Suggs Sport stadium please. You do get that the MASSIVE thing is tongue in cheek right?? Obviously some ppl think it's serious but anyone with a brain knows we are quite a way behind most premier league clubs........... I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaping Lannys Perm Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'm only playing with you. "infrastructure" is what you meant, I'm just being a wee pipe. Well that is a word I have been mispronouncing for 30 years. (well I doubt I was using it at 1 year old, but you get the picture) Honestly thought it was infer, not infra. I believe that is called an eggcorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidioso Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 The toon are huge, it always will be. IMO, we cannot compete with their size because its a one club city true, but it depends how you define it st james park is only 6 miles from the stadium of light there are two clubs in the Tyne-Tees conurbation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't got internet yet in Geordieland so they have to rely on outmoded methods. That explains it. Can't beat hard copies though. Owlstalk should do a fanzine.

bigrbuk Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Newcastle isn't actually that big, only marginally bigger that the mackems down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday-Wonderland Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 SJP is rumbleing majestic but they've been in the prem pretty much ever since the sky gravy train kicked in, while we've been fighting relegation battles in the 2nd and 3rd tiers.

OwlsfaninNorway Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 One club city = more support That's exactly why we want the pigs out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidioso Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Have another go. OK, my mistake, 10 miles compared to 5 between Hillsborough and the lane. Not a lot of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaskedowl Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Don't understand why people think we have a problem being in a two club city. I mean Sheffield FC are hardly in competition with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikowl Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 It depends on how an area is structured 10 miles, 5 miles etc can make a world of difference in a built up area - Newcastle people stick to Newcastle and have very little need to visit Sunderland and the same goes the other way - it's two separate entities and can't be compared to two clubs in the same city.
