Soccer did nothing so can't bitch about being a 2nd class citizen at that facility.l,

Soccer knows what they need to do, up to them/us to make it happen.
Explain in more detail, you come off sounding like a micro-thinker. What money did union contribute? What do they pay as a lease? Newcastle council is all who you know and who you go to bed that?s a fact. The upgrade was a local council voting bargaining chip & an easy way to line a contractor that also had ties to the council and club pockets.

Also Merewether retreated have been around for 125 years and can?t even get a field in Merewether lol wanna know why ?.hint a player did something that pissed off someone high up in council but I?m not going to tell that story as it was probably before you were born. Merewether still have managed to get featured on bar tv twice for this season, they will probably make a trophy about it.
