One of the best things about being a sunderland supporter is that, when we are on (which admittedly isn’t often), I don’t continuously have to get up at 7:am week in week out (appologies for all NY mackems who made it last weekend to find the match was cancelled) at least as Man United always seem to have to do (they seem to want to kill off all foreign support by making matches as early as possible).
However after a gruling week in the psyche center… like Cherry Knowle, except ten times larger, even down to the abandoned buildings… I’m looking forward to seeing the lads on the tele this weekend, on sunday morning at eleven. Now this has already been posted on the message board but I recon that it’s worth posting again so I’ve snuck out of work to put this on the RTG site.
For those in NYC we’re going to be in Nevada Smiths (11th st and 3rd ave) in NYC at 11 am and anyone visiting the city is welcome to come in and have a pint with us, we had a great time the last occasion we were on (and were not cancelled) and even had the chance to meet some Uk based supporters from the message board! Having so many SAFC supporters in one place was an amazing experience for all.
Good news for everyone in the States who paid to be a member of SAFCSA USA is that I finally have the membership cards. Also, for those with really *really* good memories, months and months ago I promised to do a paid PET scan in aid of the USA branch. … Well call me stupid (and now radioactive too) but I did it (as my avatar will show in the message board). And I want to put the procceeds towards buying a huge six foot SAFC flag for Smiths in NYC.
The rest of the money will go towards buying some replica shirts for the members, so any supporters in the states should get in contact with me if you are interested in getting a discount. I’ll send them over with the membership cards.
As for those in New York/New jersey… I’ll see you there on sunday!
Ha’way the lads
