Newcastle United Official Club Store Opening (22 Apr)

I was happily checking the Newcastle United official website one day then happened to see that they have this official club store opening in St. James Park to replace the old one lah. The official club store opening is on the 22nd Apr 2pm. Haha my Optoelectronics lecture will end 3pm that day which is a Friday. Since its a Friday also nothing much to do mah so must as well take a trip down to check wat's in store maybe lucky will get some free gifts leh XD

Bird's eye view of the St. James Park. The one with the hooded shelter is Milburn Stand. I should say its a pretty big stadium with capacity of 52,000 think second to Old Trafford Stadium in UK.


So after my lecture me and win win supposed to meet outside the club entrance at St James Park mah since my lecture ended earlier, i went to queue up first mah coz up till this pt i still tot got free gifts one XD But then when i arrived leh, i saw like quite a long queue of ppl outside the club shop entrance which is lined with red carpert wor. So i was thinking wah so grand ah then asked ard got some ppl tell me they are queueing up to get the autographs of the first team players lor. According to them all the first team and reserves came for this official opening. Hehee then i also joined in the queue lor since here adi. Hahah think im one of the last ones to make it in the queue XD. While queueing up i was thinking i dun have anything for them to sign wor so when win win arrive i ask here to stand in the queue for me first while i rushed into the club shop to get this team photograph lor to let them sign. Will be more meaningful rather than sign on foolscap paper rite? XD

Anyway when its going to be our turn to go in, with like 10 ppl or so infront of us, the security guards say they aint letting anymore ppl in le coz they have only arranged the soccer stars for an hour autograph signing session only =( Shit man...after all tat long queue and i dun think the players mind to sign for another 10 ppl rite? the security guards are damn blockheaded haiz no point arguing with them some of the ang mor kids are scolding vulgarities and arguing with them but only to get brushed off. Hehehe on seeing this, i pulled win win to one side and we sneaked in from another entrance into the club shop and hun4 shui3 mo1 yu1 with the main crowd inside hahah shld have done this earlier le then no need to queue up ang moh system really weird i can confirm such thing wun happen in singapore deh XD

So in we go but once we are in Alan Shearer stood up and left for some interview with the reporters. Oh well we tot of getting the autographs of other players first while waiting for shearer to get done wif his press interview. Unfortunately i forgot to bring my digital camera along wah suay man so cant take alot of pics with the players. I only got Patrick Kluivert and Laurent Robert close up photos. Hehehe and a one which Win win took with Robert XD not too bad lah. But after his interview, Shearer was rushed off to the exit by some escorts and we were forced not to follow oh well tough luck man so near n yet so far. XD Anyway since we adi there, we spent some time to check out any new products in store lor sad to say there arent lah and they are like so expensive think have to wait till summer sales.

Haha team photo with the first team XII autographs!!!
