Chinese Take Away pt 2

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Noticed on icDP today that the first team will be going to China in Summer 2003, so good news for any bbsers in that general region. Also mentioned in the piece is that a Chinese student will be ensconsed in teh NUFC offices to send back a daily report to China.

Wonder if the guy knows anything about doing websites and might like to update the official s*te. Canny things those websites, can be accessed all over the world... Modern technology, eh?

In addition to this, China have requested that we go there and play them prior to the World Cup. FS is keen but said it was short notice and might not be possible.

I know it's a big market out there (no the Bigg Market is right here - Ed) but the whole country's red isn't it?

Even more reason to show them the beauty of black and white. :-)

China is still very much untapped - population well over 1 billion and likely to be the new power house in the East over the next 20 - 30 years. I think it is an excellent idea for NUFC to get their proverbial foot in the door especially because in this region they cant get enough English football.

My thoughts exactly. Massive potential market which is cautiously embracing Western culture / rapidly embracing consumerism, as an opiate of the masses - woops, slipped into my Communist Manifesto there.

John Lennon, where are you now?

If the football they play there is *anything* like Shoalin (I hope that's spelled right) Soccer then I defo don't want NUFC to play any of the teams over there.
