Sunday 28th December 2008 will be Sir Bobby Robson day, a day to honour this great Geordie figure and promote the work of his charity. A day to celebrate his life and love of Newcastle United. This is our chance to show Sir Bobby what we really think of him, sing your hearts out and get behind the team, bring a banner and scarf and lets get the stadium bouncing. What do you need to do? simply pass the message on to everyone you know sign his message book here Article in the Evening Chronicle here The Sir Bobby Robson Foundation - PLEASE DONATE[ The NUSC has organised an official Sir Bobby Robson day for the 28th of December! In Newcastle fans of Newcastle United and Liverpool will celebrate one of the legends of the game. Various events will be held across Newcastle to celebrate the life of a great man. Further details and specifics will be released prior to the game. However it is not just about Newcastle United. Sir Bobby's illustrious career took him all around the world from PSV to Barcelona or even to the more humble surroundings of Ipswich Town - a club he won two UEFA Cups for. Today at the Newcastle game we had a couple of chorus' of 'Theres only one Bobby Robson'. However on the 28th - like we did for Shearers testimonial we want to paint the town black and white for Sir Bobby. However I would appreciate if everybody could contribute outside the match, the link to Sir Bobby's charity is just above and I'm sure he would like nothing more than a donation from some of the boys at football 365! Lets celebrate a great man in our own way - us Newcastle fans will celebrate specially on the 28th but their is no reason why everybody can't give it a go! There's only one Bobby Robson!

paddy 17 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 IT MAY look like another building site – but an empty shell on the outskirts of Newcastle is a sign of hope for thousands of families across the North East.Bobby Robson Within weeks, patients will start walking through the doors of the new cancer trials research centre at the Freeman Hospital – and they have 500,000 reasons to thank the region’s favourite son for the new facility. Sir Bobby Robson took just eight weeks to raise half a million pounds to kit out the centre after an outpouring of support for his charity appeal from all corners of the globe. And as Newcastle fans prepare for a mass Merry Christmas Sir Bobby event in the city this weekend, The Journal has the first pictures from inside the centre. We were given an exclusive tour of the site by Sir Bobby’s doctor, Prof Ruth Plummer, who will be in charge of the groundbreaking trials and who was also having a look inside for the first time. Wishing Journal readers all his season’s greetings, former Newcastle and England manager Sir Bobby said the centre would give hope to every cancer patient who walks though its doors. Prof Plummer is understandably excited about the move. She and Prof Hilary Calvert, director of the Northern Institute for Cancer Research, currently share an office in an old baby delivery suite at Newcastle General Hospital. Ruth Plummer, Professor of Experimental Cancer Medecine, with left, Mike White, project director, and Mark Wood, assistant director of operations and commissioning The rest of her team can also be forgiven for sharing her enthusiasm. Outside the General, the staff who analyse the results of the trials are based in portable buildings. But within weeks they will move across the city into a home worthy of their work. Around 20 people will be moving in the New Year to the Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Trials Research Centre, where visitors will be greeted in an open reception area, with desks for nurses, offices for each of the three consultants, an open treatment area for patients and single rooms where others can be treated. And at the heart of the operation will be the state-of-the-art facilities for developing and testing new cancer drugs, to be used by the same team which developed Alimta – the only treatment for asbestos-related mesothelioma. Inside the new unit at the Freeman Hospital Sir Bobby’s centre will have the capacity to double the number of trials currently taking place at the General, where typically there are between five and eight “phase one” trials at any one time. There is a similar number of phase two trials, involving the more promising treatments from previous tests. Prof Plummer said: “We’ve looked at plans, but it’s really exciting to see inside for the first time – to see inside and to be able to visualise it. “It’s bringing the whole trials team together into that one unit and it’s so much better than what we’re used to. What’s fantastic is that if we want to talk to data managers, we have to go into the car park to the portable buildings. It’s going to be much, much easier.” Monday, January 19, has been pencilled in as the opening day for the new centre, when the doors and corridors linking it to the other cancer facilities at the Freeman will finally be opened up. All based within a new building at the Freeman, the Northern Centre for Cancer Care (NCCC) has provided Newcastle with one of the largest and most advanced cancer centres in the country. Alongside the cancer trials, patients can have treatments not available in most cancer units, including a Primatom unit – a linear accelerator combined with a CT scanner which enables rapid planning and highly accurate delivery of radiotherapy. He is one of the most recognisable and popular figures in English football history, a knight of the realm, a tireless worker for charity and an inspirational figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neville Neville Neville 0 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Happy Sir Bobby Robson day everyone. Pity that it coincided with Ashley's attempts to steal the spotlight, and the fact we had to play a football match Bobby is a Gentlemen, a Geordie, and a Legend!!!

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Well done NUSC getting it organised, shame the people in the ground didn't really do their part. I was a bit disappointed with inside the ground myself. I'm not quite sure what happened there. We did have a banner, which was outside the Gallowgate for a bit while we were collecting money, but perhaps there were problems inside, I'm not sure. On the subject of the collection, I'd like to thank everyone who donated. 3 or 4 of us counted all the money from the collection after the game, and we've raised £2,626. Thanks very much!

Tom 14019 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 And the final sum collected of £2.5K hardly seems vast, given the crowd of 52,000 present (with a non-NUFCweb forum collecting 10% of that amount alone).
