Oldham Ashletic claim:
Sports
Direct
Arena part II?
From the Manchester Evening News, Thursday:
Oldham Athletic are on the verge of signing a significant sponsorship deal that
could see Boundary Park renamed.
M.E.N. Sport understands Latics officials
are in advanced talks with sportswear giants Sports Direct over a five-year
agreement.
If signed off it would see the company,
owned by Newcastle United supremo Mike Ashley, take over the running of the
club shop - which will be moved to the new stand currently under construction
at the ground.
It would also see Sondico, a subsidiary of
Sports Direct, manufacture Oldham’s shirts - and those shirts would be
sponsored by Sports Direct.
Latics officials declined to comment but it
is understood lengthy talks are close to a conclusion however, any announcement
could not be made until the existing deal with JD Sports comes to an end on May
31.
The move may also see Alan Pardew’s
Magpies head to League One Latics for a pre-season friendly and could no doubt
open the door for a relationship between the clubs that may see some of the
Toon’s younger players lent out to gain valuable experience.
No sums have been disclosed although the
proposed deal is thought to be the biggest commercial agreement in Oldham’s
history and may approach seven figures over the duration of the contract.
It is understood if the deal goes through
the club shop, which will be run by Sports Direct with the club taking a
percentage of profits, would be based there.
SJP:
Harvey
plaque unveiled
A quarter of a century after his passing, a
long-overdue permanent memorial to former Newcastle United player and Manager Joe
Harvey has been established at SJP.
Due to the efforts of the Fairs Club, funds were raised and permission obtained
for a half tonne, 5ft by 3ft bronze plaque to be placed on an external wall of
the Gallowgate End, near to the Jackie Milburn statue.
Fans, family, former players and the media gathered on Thursday for the
unveiling, 1955 FA Cup winner Vic Keeble and 1969 Fairs Cup winner Bob
Moncur joining Joe's son, Ken Harvey in pulling back the curtains.
Also present at the ceremony were
other former players from Joe's time at the club, including Frank Clark,
John Craggs, David Craig,
Wyn Davies, Keith Dyson, Alan Foggon, Tommy Gibb, Ron Guthrie, Pat Howard, Dave
Hilley, Malcolm Macdonald, Gordon Marshall, Tommy Robson, Ron McGarry, John McNamee &
Jimmy
Scott.

Assuming he's not been kidnapped or deported
before then, Alan Pardew returns to the Newcastle dugout after his
ban when United side visit the Emirates on Monday.
Kickoff in this Sky Sports-televised game is at 8pm and all 1,800 away tickets
are sold,
United subsidising the cost by £10 per adult ticket from their away fan fund.
The Magpies go to a ground where they conceded seven goals last season looking
to end a run of five successive Premier League defeats - the club's worst run
since a six game losing streak in December 1986 and January 1987.
Squad: Moussa Sissoko is back in training, but Davide Santon and Papiss
Cisse won't play again this season.
The current whereabouts, mood and
fitness of Hatem Ben Arfa remain undisclosed but he wasn't spotted at training
on Thursday. Both Gabriel Obertan and Sylvain Marveaux took part.

AFC:
Kieran Gibbs, Serge Gnabry, Jack Wilshere and Theo

reserve game on Tuesday after over a year on the sidelines.
The Gunners have been beaten just once on home soil this season, losing 1-3 to
Aston Villa on the opening weekend of the season back in August.
Since then they've drawn five and won 11 at the Emirates, conceding just eleven
goals in the process - sharing that lowest total in the division with Chelsea.
Referee: Neil Swabrick - fourth
appointment of the season involving United, following the 0-2 home loss to
Manchester City in the Capital One Cup, 3-0 victory at Crystal Palace and 0-4
defeat by Spurs at SJP.
Travel:
The RMT trade union have
announced a two day strike
by London Underground staff, beginning on Monday at 9pm -
midway through our visit to the Emirates Stadium.
A recent strike call was ultimately called off, while a reduced service
continued on some lines during previous industrial action. If this strike does
go ahead however, beware that parts of the network usually begin to close down
ahead of the actual declared start time - meaning that journeys to the stadium
may well be affected.
London Overground and DLR services will be unaffected.

Peacock.
John Gibson will be hosting the event and local comic Gavin Webster will also

Tickets are £20 for entry only and £35 for
VIP places - the latter including lunch - and The Stroke Association stand to

HOF:
Two
heroes, one villain
Keith Burkinshaw helps induct Ardiles,
2009
The 2014 inductees to the National Football
Museum Hall of Fame have been announced, comprising of nine players -
including a trio of former Magpies.
Alan Shearer and Michael Owen plus a representative of Hughie
Gallacher are set to be honoured at a dinner in Manchester this coming
October.
Established in 2002, Shearer was actually selected while still a Newcastle
player two years later but has never previously attended to receive his
trinket.
The Hall of Fame now includes over 100 personalities and SJP old boys already
inducted include Ossie Ardiles, John Barnes, Peter Beardsley, Jack Charlton,
Kenny Dalglish, Paul Gascoigne, Kevin Keegan, Jackie Milburn, Bobby Robson, Ian
Rush, Len Shackleton and Graeme Souness.
U21s:
Reserves
go to ground
Having regained the Northumberland Senior Cup at
SJP on Tuesday evening, United's reserve team round off their U21 league
campaign behind closed doors on Friday.
Peter Beardsley's side entertain fellow underachievers Arsenal at
Darsley Park in a 1pm kickoff, both sides assured of a bottom half
finish and a place in the lower division of next season's reformatted U21
competition.
That 11 team competition is set to include Newcastle, Arsenal, Aston Villa,
Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, the smoggies, Reading, Stoke City, Spurs,
West Bromwich Albion and Wolves.
In 20 league games to date, United have won just four times and conceded 51
goals - more than any other side in the. 43 players have appeared in those
games so far.

More details of the new issue can be found online

Cardiff home game.
U18s:
Canaries
v Magpies
Saturday sees Newcastle' U18 side play the
penultimate game of their season, when they travel to Norfolk and face their Norwich
City counterparts.
Kickoff at the Canaries' Colney training ground is at 11am and the young
Magpies will look for a third successive victory, having won six of their last
seven outings.
City by contrast have taken maximum points just once in seven games and lost
the corresponding fixture exactly a year ago 0-6, when their FA Youth Cup
commitments resulted in a virtual schoolboy XI taking to the field.
Non-League
#1:
The
Money shot
Saturday sees Conference side Gateshead play the final game of their
regular season, knowing that they are just 90 minutes away from a place in the promotion play-offs.
The Tynesiders sit fifth in the final playoff slot, going into a home game
against a Cambridge
United side managed by ex-Newcastle Academy coach Richard Money.
Avoiding defeat against the U's will ensure that the 'Heed will compete
in the playoffs, even if nearest challengers Braintree Town beat Grimsby Town
in their final fixture.
Kickoff at the International Stadium is at 5.30pm and NUFC season ticket holders can
take advantage of a £5 saving on the £14 adult ticket price, paying just
£9 for entry on
production of their season ticket card.
A discount deal offering all accompanied U16s entry (not just
ST holders) for £2 remains in force, while over 60s are admitted for
£9, and 16/17 year olds/Students £7.
Two-legged playoffs home and away are played
on Wed 30.04.2014 / Thu 01.05.2014 and Sun 04.05.2014, with the winners
meeting at Wembley on Sunday May 18th to decide who joins champions Luton Town in
League Two.
Gateshead failed to achieve re-election to Division Four back in the 1959/60
season and have played at various levels of the non-league game since then.

Final KO confirmed
Rounding off the 125th anniversary celebrations
of the Northern League, St.James' Park will host the League Cup Final between
Whitley Bay and Marske United.
The Northern League First Division duo secured their places in the semi-final
ties played on Easter Monday, Whitley winning 3-2 away at Whitehaven and
Marske recording a 4-1 success at Ashington.
Those two sides now meet at Gallowgate on Tuesday May 6th and a 7.15pm
kickoff has now been agreed.
Spectator entry will be by paying at East Stand turnstiles on the night, £tbc.
A match programme will be produced and following a coin toss, Marske have been
selected as the home team.
Update:
NUST
meeting
Newcastle United Supporters' Trust press release:
NUST is holding a public meeting to discuss Mike Ashley's planned sale of
the lease on land adjacent to the Gallowgate End at St James' Park.
This will take place on Thursday 1st May in The Lecture Room of the
Mining Institute, Neville Hall, Westgate Road, Newcastle , NE1 1SE (near the
Central Station) and will commence at 7.30pm and finish no later than 9.00pm.
We are concerned that future development
of this land, potentially unsympathetic to the future expansion of St James'
Park may act to inhibit the future growth under future ownership
arrangements.
The Trust board has been pursuing a number of courses of action and would
welcome the opportunity to share this information and take questions regarding
the sale of the lease of the land from Trust members and other supporters who
may wish to attend.
So far the Trust has made a Freedom of
Information Act application to discover the identity of potential developers
in order to open dialogue and explain our position.
Unfortunately, Mike Ashley's employees at
Newcastle United have so far declined to answer any of the media's questions
on the subject so we are unable to outline any safe-guards the club has put in
place to safe-guard the club's future growth potential and indeed the
destination and use of any monies raised from the sale of a club asset.
As an associated matter, the Trust is in the process of applying to have St
James' Park registered as an Asset of Community Value and Kevin Rye of
Supporters Direct will attend as a guest speaker.
The Trust also makes an invitation to
those supporters with expertise in Planning to join a working group to support
the Trust to develop its position regarding future development.
PS: NUST are organising a comedy night at the Stand club on High
Bridge with proceeds going to fund free football coaching courses for local
school children.
Gavin Webster, John Scott, Lee Kyle and
Seymour Mace will provide the gags on Monday 19th May from 8.30pm and tickets
cost just £10 online

Old
boy celebrates
treble achievement
A 16 minute appearance from the bench was enough to earn former Magpie Yohan
Cabaye the first silverware of his Paris Saint Germain career on
Saturday.
The French international midfielder was introduced during the second half of
the League Cup Final between PSG and Lyon, with his side 2-1 ahead in the
Stade de France.
And that's how it stayed, meaning that Cabaye completes a clean sweep of
domestic honours, having appeared for Lille in their 2011 French Cup Final
success and also helped his side win Ligue 1 that same season.
Saturday was the 17th game he's played for PSG.

Easter
Monday saw the second side to attain promotion from the Championship
confirmed, with Burnley joining Leicester City in next season's

The Clarets have only played in the Premier League once before - going the
opposite way to Newcastle in 2009 - and secured their place thanks to a 2-0
victory over Watford at Turf Moor.
Joining the celebrations was Burnley's ex-Magpie David Edgar, who has featured
in the side recently, but spent Monday on the substitute's bench.

2014/15:
Kiwi claims
emerge
Reports emanating from New Zealand
in recent days suggest that Newcastle are among a handful of Premier League
sides under consideration to participate in a pre-season tournament later this
year.
Ourselves, Everton and West Ham have all been linked with a proposed series of
games involving Wellington Phoenix (who actually play in Australia's A League)
at their 34,500 Westpac stadium.
The option of Auckland's 25,000 North Harbour Stadium hosting games has also
been mooted, but like previous reports of United heading to South Africa, the
club haven't given any hint that future plans for friendlies involve them going
further than mainland Europe.
United have previously visited New Zealand, playing a series of four matches
against the national side in May 1985 in Christchurch, Wellington, Napier and
Auckland.

Guidance from LFC:
Included in the
allocation are a number of tickets marked 'restricted view' and 'severely
restricted view'.
Seats classed as
restricted view on Row 1 is due to personnel movement. Seats classed as
restricted view on other rows is due to stanchions supporting the Upper Tier,
which impair the view of either goal.
Any seats classed as
severely restricted view is due to supporters standing up and down and, in the
event of this happening during the game, the supporters on Rows 34 and 35 have a
very limited view of the goals due to overhang of the upper tier roof.
In purchasing a
'restricted view' or 'severely restricted view' ticket, you are accepting this
view and there can be no ticket exchanges or refunds under any circumstances.

On This Day in History |
|
24th April |
|
Born Or Died:
1929 David Boyle born,
Tynemouth.
(1947-49)
Inside
forward who failed to make a senior appearance at SJP, moving on to Berwick
Rangers, Barnsley, Crewe and Chesterfield.
A spell at Bradford City between 1956 and 1960 saw him play alongside future Magpie Trevor Hockey, before
joining Scarborough.
After ending his career at Bacup Borough, David worked for Allied Bakeries in
Bradford.
In later life, he became a highly-rated crown green bowls player until illness
forced him to retire. He passed away in November 2009.
1962
Stuart Pearce born, Hammersmith, London.
(1997-99)
England international penalty misser & taker, fully-qualified spark, punk
fan, Pizza Hut advert star and belatedly, a Magpie.
Beginning in non-league with Wealdstone, Pearce first faced United when
playing at Coventry City, before a 12 year association with Nottingham Forest
raise his profile.
Having provided the opposition for his City Ground testimonial in May 1996,
Newcastle signed the defender the following year and Psycho proved to be
probably the most effective (& popular) of Kenny's Dad's Army.
24 hours after moving to SJP on a free transfer from Forest, 35 year-old Pearce
debuted
in the number 3 shirt in a 3-2 pre-season win at Birmingham City.
His only competitive strike came from a free -kick
against Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League, although he did
belt one home in a pre-season game
at SJP against Juventus.
A Cup Final appearance against Arsenal followed but his time on Tyneside drew
to a close after Gullit's appointment as Manager.
Pearce continued playing in the top flight with West Ham, but suffered two
broken legs within six months, which sidelined him for most of the 1999/00
season.
However, that same season saw him reverse his international retirement at the
request of Kevin Keegan - then England boss -, two further caps boost his
total to 78 (although none came during his time at SJP).
Pearce followed KK to Manchester City in 2001, playing one final season as
captain and helping them achieve promotion to the top flight.
Concentrating on coaching, Pearce assisted Keegan and succeeded him as full-time
City boss in
March 2005, initially on a caretaker
basis.
However, a run of poor form coupled with the sale of the club saw him replaced
in 2007 by Sven - allowing him to make his part-time post of England U21 boss
into a full-time job.
He took over from Fabio Capello as first
team boss on a temporary basis in the
build-up to Euro 2012, combining this with
his U21 role and management of Team GB
ahead, of the 2012 Olympics.
However, after a poor showing at the UEFA
U21 Championships in Israel when England
lost all of their group matches his contract
wasn't renewed.
It was announced in April 2014 that he would
take over as new boss of Nottingham Forest
on July 1st, after having previously
declined the position.
While at SJP he had a narrow escape from a road accident, when a council
dustcart rolled over on top of his car - scrambling from the wreckage of his
flattened Rover unscathed.
PS: Pearce has admitted that one of his
proudest moments came in the summer of 1996
- when he introduced the Sex Pistols live on
stage at London's Finsbury Park.
1967
Lionel Perez born, Bagnoles-sur-Ceze, France.
(1998-2000)
Goalkeeper who never dirtied a Newcastle shirt
in anger, although he was an unused Premier League substitute numerous times after his baffling free transfer from the mackems in 1998
- another stunning Dalglish acquisition.
Highlights (not in
his hair) included a penalty saves in a
pre-season tournament on smogside and
his transfer away from Tyneside, after a
loan spell at Scunthorpe.
However, Lionel's finest moment remains the Wembley playoff final appearance
against Charlton - for the mackems - when he conceded 11 goals (including
penalties).
After being released by United after 21 meaningless
months, Perez joined Cambridge United - where he'd been on loan.
We can confirm however that he failed to hand in his Newcastle subs coat and
could often be seen doing a spot of gardening clad in it (our spies are
everywhere...).
Lionel
became something of a cult figure (yes, cult) at the Abbey
Stadium, later playing for Enfield and then Chelmsford before
signing for Stevenage Borough.
Following a broken leg he retired and joined the
coaching staff at Broadhall Way, which saw him back in the
news in 2006.
During a stormy game against Northampton Town, TV cameras
caught Perez poking Cobblers coach Dave Watson in both
eyes - for which he was banned from the touchline, fined
and handed a 100 hour community service order by
Magistrates.
He exited Broadhall Way soon after that and returned to
his native France, where he coached at FC Chusclan Laudun
l'Ardoise.

seen.
Even the staunchly southern "Daily Mail"
was moved to comment that the game was a "classic
exposition of footballing skills."

already won the Pontins League Division One title

ended their season in style with a 5-1 win at Bradford
City. Lomana LuaLua, Diego Gavilan(2), Colin McMenamin and
Stuart Green scored
for United.
NUFC.com match
report 2003
Newcastle debutant Darren Ambrose netted for the reserves just before the half
hour against Manchester United at SJP.
Colin Heath then levelled for the visitors, before injuries to Stephen Brennan
and Carl Cort then left the Magpies down to ten men midway through the second
half.
Heath then rapidly capitalised on his side's numerical advantage to net what
turned out to be the winner in front of 3,000 fans.
NUFC.com match
report 2004 A winning goal in
second half added time gave our reserves a 2-1 success in a rescheduled fixture away to the smoggies second string at
Rockcliffe Park.
Matty Pattison got the vital strike after Lewis Guy had
given us the lead, Craddock levelling from the spot.

Ambrose(27)
Rooney(57), Brown(75)
67,845
A breathtaking strike from
Wayne Rooney saved a mediocre Manchester United
from their first home defeat of the season as a patched-up Toon side threatened a major shock.
Darren Ambrose had given us a
deserved lead at half-time with a well-taken goal after 27
minutes, seizing on a poor clearance from 'keeper Tim Howard.
Rooney was about to substituted
with almost an hour gone following a dead leg in the first half,
but when Peter Ramage headed infield, Rooney hit a stunning
volley that flew past Given into the top corner.
Even then we looked like
holding out for a point, which was the least a spirited display deserved, but Wes Brown beat a static Shola Ameobi to
head the winner from a corner.

It
proved to be lucky thirteen for Tommy Craig and his young Magpies as they extended their season-long
unbeaten record on home territory, beating Bolton Reserves by a
solitary Carl Finnigan goal.

2007
Having put a spoke in the wheel of both Manchester United and the Smoggies,
the reserves were unable to withstand the
challenge of Bolton, who claimed the title after a deserved 3-1
victory at Leyland.
Magpies defender David Edgar headed home a late consolation from a James Troisi
corner.

Despite a late and ludicrously offside goal, United managed
to make it through the whole season unbeaten on
home soil,
with Roy Keane's
Tractor Boys unable to spoil the Championship party.
Town
twice came from behind to prevent United notching up
their 30th win of the season and breaking through the 100 points barrier,
although both were accomplished at Loftus Road
the following weekend.
