Don J Demorr 167 Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Sadly maybe, this is not an exciting message about a fabulous midfielder signing from Newport County FC, so everybody calm down please. Instead, here is a tentative suggestion: - Newport News is not a newspaper, it is a city in Virginia, USA. On January 28, 1886, Collis P. Huntington founded Newport News Shipbuilding aiming to earn a reputation for building the best ships in the world. In doing so he shaped the art and craftsmanship of shipbuilding for more than a century. Newport News Shipbuilding grew into the world-class business Huntington dreamed of when he said: “We shall build good ships here. At a profit—if we can. At a loss—if we must. But always good ships.” I wonder if @Ricardo and all those many others on this Forum who value the traditional ethos of Norwich City Football Club might like the club to promote: - “We shall play good football here. To win if we can – or lose if we must. But always good football” What say you? Best to all, Don Edited July 5, 2023 by Don J Demorr 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,771 Posted July 4, 2023 I got a coach from Richmond to Virginia Beach that made a stop at Newport News for half an hour, back in 2008. Bought a can of Pepsi and a Twix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobJames 922 Posted July 4, 2023 Perhaps a bit over optimistic. I would suggest following the advice I have told many a fair young maiden Don't expect too much, and you won't be disappointed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
