Well, despite over 500 objections being listed on the council’s website Fat Mike Ashley has been given the go-ahead to drape adverts for his dodgy merchandise all over a landmark in Newcastle city centre – to whit, St James’ Park. I mentioned the story a few weeks ago.
One wonders who’s getting a few free tickets for the executive l0unge in exchange for this travesty. And, yes, I am insinuating that someone on the council is corrupt. Much as I assume someone was getting backhanders to shut the Mayfair to allow construction of The Gate all those years ago.
Permission has been granted “subject to conditions” but the website’s down right now so the link to this information isn’t working.
Absolutely someone in the council is to blame. Ashton’s stupid but someone on the council has allowed him to get away with his stupidity, can’t blame the fool for trying it on. Still, least your club is doing better than my club.. 🙁
Doing better for the moment. That won’t last for the whole season, trust me!
