Colours and badge

Newcastle United's original colours
.For much of Newcastle United's history, their home colours have been black and white striped shirts, with black shorts and black socks, though white socks are sometimes worn under some managers who consider them "lucky".[65] For the first two years of the club's existence United continued to wear the home kit of East End, which included red shirts, white shorts and black socks; this was changed to the more familiar black and white striped kit in 1894.^ Newcastle United was formed in 1892 after the merger of two local clubs, Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End.

Ownership

Until 1997, Newcastle United had been owned and operated as a private company limited by shares (limited company) since its establishment on 6 September 1895.
.In April 1997, following the emerging trend among other Premier League clubs, under the chairmanship of Sir John Hall the club was floated on the stock exchange as a public limited company (plc), with the stated aim of financing an enlarged Sporting Club Newcastle.^ The reported Premier League injury history of Newcastle United Football Club from August 2002 to the present day.

In 1997, Sir John Hall stepped down as chairman, remaining as a non-executive director, to be replaced as chairman by Freddy Shepherd, with the Hall family represented on the board by John's son, Douglas Hall and daughter Allison Antonopoulos. After a public scandal, Shepherd and Douglas Hall briefly resigned, returning after ten months in 1998.
At the end of 1998, after buying a 6.3% stake in the club for £10m, the media group NTL had considered a full takeover of the club[90]. This was later dropped after the April 1999 Competition Commission block of a proposed takeover of Manchester United by Rupert Murdoch, owner of BSkyB[91].
.In 2007, in a surprise move, businessman Mike Ashley purchased a 41% share in the club through a holding company St James Holdings Ltd, in a deal for the combined stakes of both Douglass and Sir John Hall, apparently without knowledge of Shepherd who was ill in hospital.^ Get out of our club (Lyric only) Directed Towards Mike Ashley .

.Under stock market rules, the purchase required the issuing of a formal takeover offer by Ashley to all other remaining shareholders, which comprised Shepherd, fans and institutional investors, at the same price or above.^ A reasonably priced all-day breakfast can be had, and a fine selection of crepes and pasta dishes offers something to tempt every palate, including vegetarians.

.In the following weeks, as Ashley gained more shares, Shepherd, although publicly having stated the club was "impossible to buy" in response to previous approaches for the club from other parties, and indicating that he may launch a counter offer, Shepherd eventually agreed to sell his 28% stake before expiry of the offer, leading to a de-listing.^ Olafani Bunyame started Newcastle's second drive with a 21 yard run, and Moonshower followed that with runs of 8 and 13, before Bunyame gained 7 on another run.

.While Mike Ashley is sole owner of the holding company and hence the club, he has not given himself an official role on the board of directors of the club, first handing the chairmanship to Chris Mort on a sabbatical status, and then to Derek Llambias in time for the start of the 2008/09 season.^ It's good, and Newcastle United gets on the board for the first time in four games.

Sponsorship

The current main club sponsors are the Northern Rock bank and sportswear manufacturer Adidas[95]. Through owner Mike Ashley, the club also has a relationship with the Sports Direct retail chain which he founded[96].
The Northern Rock deal was announced in April 2003 to run until the end of the 2004/05 season. In April 2004 this was extended to run until the end of the 2009/10 season[97]. The Northern Rock deal provoked criticism upon the effective nationalisation of the bank in February 2008 during a credit crisis, although to put it in perspective, the current sponsorship deal was worth £25m[98] to the club, compared to resulting Bank of England loans to Northern Rock in the order of billions of pounds, and a 6 month loss of £585m in the first half of 2008[99]
Both Adidas' kit deal and Northern Rock's current sponsorship deal end at the end of the 2009/10 season.
.The club did not introduce shirt sponsorship until 1980. The club previously had a long standing relationship with the brewer Scottish & Newcastle[98], who owned the Tyne Brewery directly opposite the Milburn stand of St James' Park.^ Do not miss the Newcastle United team playing at St James Park.

.During the 1980s and 90s the club strip featured the logos of their beer brands McEwan's (in words on the away strip only) and Newcastle Brown Ale (the home strip, both as the full bottle logo, and as simply the blue star element of the brown ale logo).^ The football stadium will only be named after Newcastle United's home in Tyneside.

.After the shirt sponsorship deal ended with the transition to NTL in 2000, and the Tyne brewery closed in 2004, the relationship effectively ended on 1 July 2007 near the end of the Ashley takeover process, when the club signed a £3m supply agreement with Carling[98], although Newcastle Brown Ale was still available in some parts of the ground, and as of May 2008 the Gallowgate Stand was still labelled as the Newcastle Brown Stand on the club website Club Factfile page (although with changed ticketing arrangements for the 2008/09 season, a new seating plan was expected to be issued by July 2008).^ Celine Dion Columbus Tickets From Ticketmaster http://www.ticketcrush.com/concert/artists-a-c/celine-dion/2008-09-22-celine-dion.html Labels: Celine Dion , Columbus , Schottenstein Center .
