Dispatches

Thank you Dispatches on CH4 last night for showing the whole world just what Mike Ashley and Sports Direct are.

Shortly after the program finished this popped up on the Newcastle United website and Newcastle United facebook page.

CLUB STATEMENT: Channel 4 'Dispatches' programme

The club has noted the Channel 4 'Dispatches' programme aired tonight and in particular the reference to the terms of the retail relationship between the Club and Sports Direct.

The Club is extremely disappointed no-one from Channel 4 contacted the Club for comment. The information broadcast is wholly inaccurate and the Club will provide further information and clarification tomorrow.

Apparently a big story on this tomorrow, 90-minute special and the Times dropping more info over the weekend too.

Intrigued.

Last time I went there I saw masturbating chimpanzees. Whether you think that's worthy of £22 is up to you. All I'll say is I now have an annual pass.

Hope it lives up to the hype.

Rumours on Twitter are that this is about the comedy industry from 80's to 00's

Could all be bollocks like. With how secret this is, and the Times running a resulting article, seems it would be big. Celebrity or Government, but keeping quiet I assume to keep lawyers off of it

To nobody’s surprise part was of the program is about Russel Brand according to, well, Russel Brand.  There’s also a story breaking in The Times over the weekend.
