The plane fly past is back on...

It follows perfectly. People can't say they don't give a fuck what the mags think when arranging a plane in an attempt to wind them up. This action means they very much do give a fuck what they think.

It's the equivalent of someone telling a private joke to millions of people.
 
Has anyone checked to make sure there isn't any flying restrictions over SJP on the day?

If the police chopper is out during the game there might be a no flying zone for small charter flights in that area.

you seem to be taking "not giving a fuck" too literally, and just hearing what you want to hear. fuck knows why. But just so you are beyond any doubt:

1. We don't care if we are made fun of.

2.We do find this joke funny.

What else do you want me to say? That's literally it. Nothing else. If you think there is, you are just being pedantic and trying to continue the argument.
 
I'm sure the mag who went to all that trouble producing a 'man city capital cup winners' flag thought he was being hilarious and it would really wind us up. In reality the joke was on him and we all laughed at what a sad bastard he was (and all the other mags by association). This plane will be a much higher profile equivalent for ourselves and the joke will be on us if you know what happens.

Haway man, we're all just lads and lasses who had a laugh at the mags protest plans and chipped in a few bob each to send up a rival plane. Things have changed but it's still just a piss take not the deadly serious stuff some are trying to make it.

That logic doesn't follow at all. When people have said "I don't care what the mags think" it's in reply to the people who say that the mags will take the piss out of us.
What they are meaning is that they don't care if the mags take the piss, as it's just harmless banter. Just as this plane is harmless banter. It's a funny joke, and that's it. No hidden agenda, no massive obsession with them up the road, just something funny that someone suggested and we all laughed at.

As someone who's never flown a plane or been involved in air traffic control I've left this kind of detail to the company who do this for a living :)

My point being, if the mags are planning a protest on a match day there's a good chance the police chopper could be hovering about the SJP area. If Northumbria plod get wind of what we are planning you can guarantee they'd try ruin our plans.

The capital cup flag was dreamed up by a 50 year old bloke in his Mam's back bedroom whilst tucked up in his single bed under his nufc duvet. Under no circumstances would it have ever been considered funny.

The plane idea came from the mags themselves. It was jokingly suggested we hire a rival plane and we chipped in a few quid each to make it happen. The mags plane crashed and burned by which time we'd already raised £600 before the mags complained to take our fund raising page down.

There's no way that they were going to stop the plane so we found another way, FTM.
 
The bloke who dreamed up the capital cup flag was using exactly the same mindset as yourself I'm afraid. He was as justified to think it would he hilarious and would wind us up as you are about this plane banner. I reality he was ridiculed, which will be the case with the plane, IMO.

I am fully aware the mags will take the piss anyway if we go down, but if we go down after a stunt like this, it will live on in mag folklore for decades as the time we ended up with a ton of egg on our faces.

fuck me man, I'm using the word banter as it is initially intended, not the LADBIBLE version FFS. It's just a joke. I honestly cannot get into my head why people would be significantly bothered by this to cause such a fuss. I just don't get it. It's a joke. Some find it funny. Some don't.

People who reply making reference to the level of Bantz in the previous post are the funniest people alive though - perfectly placed to judge comedy.
