Where Is This Going?
Hi everyone. Just wanted to do a quick update on how things are going here at Newcastle United Blog.
I started this out the other week as you all know and the reason for that was to encourage a bit of fans banter. Its getting visits from quite a few of you and good to see a few regulars posting there thoughts which is what it is all about.
Well where are we going to go from here? Your suggestions are most welcome!
The vision for the blog was to post snippets of news from time to time more to get thoughts and feelings from as a lead in. Would you like to see a pregame summary to chat about the upcoming game? An after match summary? Possible signings? Goings on around the club in general? Its your site and it would be great to get a good feeling of where you would like it to go and grow.
All the best.

As a far-away fan, any “un biased” news and opinion is most welcome. I’m pleased that this place seems to be a haven away from scumbag trollers from the usual suspect clubs knocking everything that happens to us.
BTW, anyone read “Early Doors” on Yahoo’s sports pages? Jesus, talk about anti-newcastle? I dont think I’ve heard one positive from them in months. THAT is the kinda place I’m trying to avoid. I need a haven of love, peace and serenity surrounded by like minded individuals that follow The Toon !!

Haha
Yeah thats what we hope to offer. Just need to gradually build the numbers of fans coming here! It will come. Even so I enjoy these little chats and seems a like a great time to start the website with the new era of Kevin Keegan kicking in at the same time
What could be better?

Definitely agree that I want a relatively unbiased opinion.
Always nice to have somewhere to discuss things with other decent Newcastle fans (i.e. no idiots, although you can’t censor people if they come on here unless they really play up badly). So the main thing in my opinion is to get as many Newcastle fans posting here as you can, make as much noise about the site as you can on any of the other boards that you can…
The latest rumours are always good too.
To be honest we all know what it’s like, any bit of news is welcome, so the more info on here the better.

Hmmm, can I just say “you can” a few more times, not sure I said it enough in the post above… It’s that “you can” positive, Keegan-era feeling coming through I reckon!

Yeah certainly like the positive factor
They should start a new show call ‘The K Factor’
Air it on geordie TV and it should be a show about potential signings for the toon haha!

One quick point on the “getting more people here” bit.
The wider and more openly you advertise, the more chance of idiots posting and of course the odd “visit” from other teams fans trolling.
Not living up in Newcastle, news and “reliable” rumours arent that easy to get. The papers tend to be very anti-newcastle at times, so I’m relying on you guys to feed me daily doses of Toon news :p
