Came across this article from a Newcastle United fan after his visit to watch his club against Manchester City yesterday.
Take a second. Maybe take five. Stare at your own reflection. Pause. Ponder long. Ponder hard. What is it you want from a football club? Like, really, what does your ticker aspire to?
Not just what does the fuzzy, somewhat naive, glory-chasing version of yourself crave. What do you – the innocent child who fell daftly in love with an idea, a smell, the notion of something wonderfully hopeless – chase?
If, truly, being the “next Manchester City” is your dream, best of British, doff of the half and half beanie to you.
For me, Clive? No, ta. I genuinely pity the real City supporters, the 30,000 odd who packed Maine Road in the English third tier. They must despair.
Their reality now? Condemned to a lifetime spent surrounded by plastic bag clutching, artificial support.
TF Match Report - Manchester City 2-0 Newcastle Utd (FA Cup QF) - True Faith
Sam Dalling was at the Etihad for TF to witness a defeat as predictable as it was disappointing. What he saw was a glimpse into our possible football future. He didn’t enjoy it. *** Doubts as to what awaits? They dissipate swiftly as the tram rolls into view. Destination “Etihad Campus”. Here’s...true-faith.co.uk

Dean Court is the home/soul’ of our football club and hopefully will always be its home or very nearby.That is a fantastic piece and doesn't take (or need) long to make its point.
We'll never be that but yes, there will be more and more frivolous bells and whistles as Foley's reign continues, but we're at least trying to stay in King's Park and that's all that matters to me.

Ultimately that’s it in a nutshell, they’ll be debates and arguments over capacity, over design, over safe standing, over the food on offer... But there are two key things that we are in out home of kings park and people can watch their team and be proud of something that represents our area.
This is why I'm perhaps more accepting than I otherwise would be about price increases, gimmicks, hospitality, etc. if the guy is going to transform the club and still manage to keep us in kings park then I think those things are a small price to pay.
To a point, there’s not a lot of point in having a new stadium if those willing to fill it week in week out can’t afford to do so.
But I think they’ve done their price adjustments to concessions and price hike now anyway, I can’t see them doing something similar to last summer this summer and so on and so on.
They saw a need of adjustment and they did it. I know this is a leap, but to go back to previous discussions, their supposed concession adjustments or trying to push out “the old boys”, I don’t buy it. They want to increase those wanting to attend in all demographics.
True, but I do think that anyone who has banged on about wanting the owners to build a new ground for ages has to accept they will be expected to pay their share - one increase in eight years is reasonable imo. I think another one when we can see proper progress may be too. I wonder if we'll see some shiny stadium plans shortly before next year's prices come out b
The one worry I have is that they've done their sums and they figure that maintaining a limited supply of tickets is the key to maximising the corporate income. So the smaller than we'd like capacity is partly as a result of the desire to keep tickets scarce but in a ground more suited to selling 15% to corporate bods.
This might mean the extra 4k seats that the designs supposedly allow for never happen. That's when I and I suspect many others will start to lose patience with the owners and certainly won't take kindly to price increases under those circumstances.
I also fear that the ROI figures[*] rely on limited supply of regular tickets.
[*] When they've calculated the cost per seat, hypothetically they've worked out they could charge £1-3k per season ticket and still sell out 18k but would need to charge £500-£1500 to sell out a 35k meaning it would take lets says another 5 years to break even.
It'll be no good putting up a Stadium holding less than 25,000, (18,000) which has been rumoured.
That would still have us in Tinpot and Ridicule Territory...no bigger than Port Vale and a lot smaller than non-club Milton Keynes Dons (30,000).
Mod Cherries fans need to start engaging grey matter...dyo know what ah mean bruv?
We even had a capacity of 28 twatting 000 in the old 180° turned and trashed Dean Court ! F√ck.
