Toon hero Shearer won't let bar name snub keep him away from St James'


Alan Shearer has shrugged off Newcastle's decision to rebrand the bar named after him, saying: 'It won't stop me from buying my season tickets.'

Signs at Shearer's Bar were removed hours after the Magpies' record goalscorer criticised the club over the appointment of Joe Kinnear as director of football and the resulting fall-out.

However, the development was a coincidence and the start of a major redevelopment programme which will see the bar reopen next month as Nine, a move about which finance director John Irving claimed the club had 'liaised' with Shearer.
