'Newcastle United owners making a serious gaffe here?' nufc
‘Newcastle United owners making a serious gaffe here?’Plenty of discussion over the past couple of days about the price of a ticket for the upcoming friendlies.
Away from the KSA and closer to home, I’m also not a fan of the way in which our more local Newcastle United owners provide support to the West End Food Bank, given their allegiances and sizeable donations to a political party under whose watch the foodbanks have been one of the UK’s only growth industries this past decade. It comes across as ironic at best, hypocritical at worst. I recognise that there’ll be many who simply won’t agree with my sentiments on that one.
That is undoubtedly the case, except that cash taken through the turnstiles accounted for around 10% of turnover in the last full season before Covid. Let that sink in. Only £1 in £10 came from fans paying at the gate. Given Ashley’s woeful record on the commercial side, that percentage would be even lower if we got our act together in that area. The new sleeve sponsor is hopefully the start of us striking many a fruitful commercial deal but that’s all I’m aware of that’s new so far.
