Newcastle 5 – Sunderland 1 – LNOF Score a Winner

Added: 02-11-2010

Welcome to the News Page

Whilst the majority of Newcastle nursed sore heads after an almighty triumph over Sunderland FC, LNOF got to work bright and early to create a magnificent website selling commemorative t-shirts, mugs and boxer shorts - To make sure no Sunderland fan ever forgets the 31/10/2010.

Newcastle 5 – Sunderland 1 – LNOF Score a Winner

After a yearlong absence due to Newcastle being relegated from the Premier League, the Tyne and Wear derby has returned and the build up to it was bigger than ever!

With both Newcastle and Sunderland fans in the office, rivalry has been high and no doubt there have been sleepless nights over what was to come.

Watched by a crowd of 51,988 fans Chris Hughton led his men to a 5 -1 victory over ‘The Black Cats’ with Kevin Nolan scoring a hat trick and Shola Ameobi scoring two goals for the ‘Mighty Magpies’. – No doubt resulting in the Quayside being drunk dry!

Roll around to Monday morning and we have an office full of missing voices, woozy heads – oh and a vacant seat were a certain Sunderland fan usually sits. Never mind gives the rest of us chance to perfect our jokes!

Many see as an opportunity to gloat and crack jokes but not Matt – He sees a business opportunity! So by 9:30am we are all set on a mission to make a website and promote the hell out of it! With a logo designed we were ready to go!

By half four we had Mike Ashley (well not actually him but someone close) on the phone letting us know while he appreciates the effort he simply won’t let us profit from the Newcastle United name.

So sadly after only hours from going live we have taken down the site, If you have any questions or would like more information contact us on 01670 501582.
