The Geordie Times iz gannin from strength to strength, az we have now past the 3 million pageviews landmark!
The month of March woz unprecedented, az we recorded nearly two thirds of a million hits! (663,742) and in one day alone on Friday March 20th we got 84,912 pageviews!
We recorded 2 Millions pageviews on Xmas Eve and 3 million 2 days ago--- 103 days for a million 'hits' The Geordie Times started in 2010 and it took ower 14 years to get to the forst million mark (5,110 days by wor calculations!) So to dee the latest million in just ower 100 days iz mind bogglin!
We have aalways said that The Geordie Times iz advort free, but beecoz of the cost of gannin to the away games it haz nearly emptied mee NUFC piggy 🐷🔨 bank!
For example, wor trip to Azerbaijan cost an eye 👁 opening £1,500 coz we had to book up very late, az the direct charter flight from Toon airport to Baku airport woz cancelled at the last minute--- and so we had to make other very costly arrangements to travel to Edinburgh by train, catch a 4 hour flight to Istanbul in Turkey— and then another 3 hour flight to Baku! (and the same way back!) A 6,000 miles roond trip!
And then the visa and hotel price on top, and then add the drinkin den and scran money on top of that! (Had to pay for the visa twice, coz the forst application woz rejected!?😱)
(6 away European games, plus 18 away games in the UK and 4 away U21games)—-And with 4 away games still to gan (3 in London!) it izzint cheap!
Beecoz of wor depleted funds and the fact that European games cost on average £500 per trip (not including the Baku trip) we are gannin to try Google’s ‘Ad Sense’, where adverts are placed into The Geordie Times, to try and rake in in some much needed capital!💰
The Toon divvint have much chance of qualifying for The Champions Leegue this time, but The Europa League and Conference Leegue (God forbid!) are within reach!
The Conference Leegue haz teams from the Welsh Leegue, Andora, Gibralter and places we have never hord of before, from ‘the back of beyond’—Like Qarabag from Azerbaijan for example! ie: Very expensive indeed! 💰
Unusually:
“Watch this space——for adverts!”
