Premier League Challenge

"Not a bad view from our Private Box"

A massive well done to Courtney, Chris, Lee, Ellie & Ryan who were selected to represent NUFC in the recent Premier League Enterprise Challenge. Not only did the group beat off competition for fellow ASC students, they beat entrants from ALL schools in Newcastle.

The students spent time with the NUFC foundation at college to prepare for the final and arrived at St James Park (yes I am allowed to call it that) yesterday hoping to win an all expenses paid trip to London for the final of the Premier League Challenge.

The challenge tackled by the students was to suggest ways to improve the match day experience for fans at St James Park.

 

Unfortunately only 3 teams out of 10 could be chosen for the final and on the day, the group just missed out to students from Man City, Middlesbrough & Liverpool. The commitment and energy shown throughout the day by the students was outstanding and they represented the college fantastically well throughout the day.

On the day students, had to give a 5 minute presentation in front of approximately 200 guests and also fielded questions from the judging panel which included Premier League & NUFC directors. Students were commended for their presentation with the judges reserving special praise for their attention to detail and creativity. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the students for their efforts and attitude throughout the challenge.
