Yep, think so. I think the first donations hit my bank account 7 days after it started and then daily after that. I can't believe the bastards are keeping the 8% though. How is 5 in a row offensive?
Sure it's the FTM part that is offensive. It's got a swear word in it.
 
Anyone remember the 'Shearer' mags top on the Angel of the North ? (See link below) It was May 1998 and was done to celebrate their appearance in the FA Cup final versus Arsenal. History will also tell you that on May 13th we played Sheffield United at the SOL in our First division play off second leg. The shirt went on to be auctioned for £3000 and the proceeds donated to charity.
Why does all this matter ? I live in Newcastle, most of my friends are mags but I choose them carefully. They are not bigots or Sunderland haters but just loyal fans like us. They tell me I fight my corner well.
My best mate organised that Angel stunt and actually secured permission from Anthony Gormley for use of the Angel to avoid breaching intellectual copyright laws since the event was to be photographed. Indeed, funds raised from selling the rights to the photographs paid for the cup final tickets for the 10 involved.

Now, here's the rub.
The shirt was auctioned because the group feared it would be confiscated if they were caught trying to hoist it up over the West stand at the SOL prior to our playoff game. They cased the ground and had actually identified the anchor points before being disturbed by security.

This was what they were going to do, and why we must press ahead with our wheeze :cool:
