Sign language

Not a great surprise, but welcome news nevertheless: the Football Supporters' Federation is continuing to back Newcastle United Supporters' Trust's opposition to Jabba's proposed sell-off of the stadium name. With the club having recently lodged planning application for new signs, NUST have responded with useful guidance as to the best grounds on which to object to Newcastle City Council, who will also be presented with the petition signed by 30,000 dissenting fans.

Incidentally, the FSF are also backing Non-League Day this coming Saturday by offering a decent prize simply for registering your support. Why not take the opportunity presented by the international break to take a break from biting your nails watching the black-and-whites and cheer on a local non-league side for a change?
