Advantages: The stadium

Disadvantages: the stupid owners

St James PArk, home of Newcastle United and one of the biggest grounds in the country has toda been renamed The SportsDirect.com@St James Park stadium.

Newcastle has finally plumbed a new low in its long and occasionally succesfull history, the club that had such great players as Jackie Milburn, Malcom McDonald, Kevin Keegan, Chris Waddle, Peter Beardsley, Gazza, Alan Shearer and managed by the great Bobby robson has now lost al sense of reality.

I'm not a Newcastle fan but lived in Newcastle for 2 years in the mid nineties at the time under the stewardship of KK Newcastle played some of the most exciting football seen for a generation, they should have won the 1995 Premiership but threw it away because they couldn't defend. Since those days, the club has been a top 6 team until the sacking of Bobby Robson in 2005 since then the club has been in terminal decline with relegation last year to the championship.

In 2008, Mike Ashley bought the club and has successfully made the dreams of Sunderland and Middesbrough fans through out the football following world. We've had the cockney mafia, attempts to sell, a chairman downing a pint in one at the Emirates, the appointment of Roy Kinnear and managing to annoy Shearer. Now Ashley has taken the club off the market and as another slap in the face of the normal Geordie fan is to chance the name of their famous stadium. Get the man out and get the club in the hands of someone who cares for it because leaving it too long will leave a club without any links to its Geordie heartlands.

I'm going to give the review 4 stars and all are for the stadium, its big, well designed, cracking atmosphere and when there was a big game played at the castle on the hill there was nothing better and I'm not even a newcastle fan.

Summary: Ridiculous
