The national media will splash Mike Ashley's face on a full page spread, and where else could Sports Direct get better advertising?
'ANY publicity is GOOD publicity', and his sports goods shop will get maximum coverage.
It's a businessman's dream!
A final meeting with the local council is due to take place today to finalise the route, but both they and the police have granted permission for the protest to go ahead.
Time 4 Change, the group behind the march, is hopeful of at least 1,000 people turning up on Saturday, October 19.
Supporters are being asked to meet on the pedestrian area of Northumberland Road next to the City Hall at 10.30am, with the march beginning at 11am. The route will go through the city centre, past St James’ Park and finish at the bandstand in Leazes Park.
The Liverpool match was chosen because it is an early kick-off and also live on television.
Time 4 Change has brought together a number of supporters’ groups and they believe now more than ever there exists an appetite to force out the billionaire businessman.
Chris McQuillan, a spokesman for Time 4 Change, said: “If we could get 1,000-plus on the day that would be a massive success. They are baby steps, really.
“Nobody expects Ashley to look at people marching past the stadium and simply run away. However, this will give us a platform and we can move on from there.
“I am also a member of United for Newcastle and we have 10,000 followers on Twitter and 3,000 on Facebook.
“It is hard to guess what the numbers will be, but there is a groundswell of feeling against the regime.”
Kinnear - Villain Or Hero For Keeping Cabaye?
PLEASE VOTE
Yohan Cabaye has suggested Newcastle United's director of football Joe Kinnear is the reason why his summer switch to Arsenal did not take place.
And let's clear this up - Cabaye was the subject of a £10m bid from the Gunners on the FRIDAY before the MONDAY Premier League opener at Manchester City. Not on the eve of the match as Alan Pardew claims.
The Frenchman not only refused to play in that fixture, but refused to play against Fulham and the Capital One Cup trip to Morecambe as he attempted to drive through a move to the Emirates.
Arsenal opted to break the British transfer record to land Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid instead of offering the £20m asking price Newcastle wanted.
Speaking yesterday ahead of France’s friendly with Australia on Friday, Cabaye refused to discuss his reasons for not playing for Newcastle – while hinting Kinnear knows more.
The Newcastle midfielder said: “I won’t explain about that today (strike in the summer at Newcastle), it is not for me to answer, I don’t want to talk about it. This is a press conference for the national team.
“It is already over, the only person who could talk about (what happened in the summer) is Joe Kinnear, it will never leave my mouth.”
