Fans lose out yet again as kick-off time changes
It might be a case of same old same old but this still doesn’t make this latest fiasco right. Changing the kick-off time of the ‘derby’ match from 4pm to 1.30pm on Sunday 31st October only four weeks beforehand is totally unacceptable. Yet again thousands of fans will potentially be inconvenienced and left out of pocket due to this late change to the kick-off, including members of the Newcastle United Supporters Trust (NUST) who contacted the Trust and asked NUST to highlight the problems this move has caused. Once a match has been moved, whether at the behest of TV or the police etc., surely it is only reasonable for supporters to take for granted that all relevant parties have been consulted and that they can rely on that kick-off time as then being set in stone. Until supporters are brought into the decision making progress, or at least taken into consideration, fans will continue to be taken for granted and unnecessarily left out of pocket.
The renewal process is now in motion for members of NUST enabling them to renew (CLICK HERE) and continue their support of the Trust’s aims, if you’d like to join as a new member then please visit www.nust.org.uk/join and help to make the future a whole lot brighter for both the fans and Newcastle United.
