Just heard a plane flying low overhead but couldn't get out in time to get a look! I wonder if it was on the way to Sunderland South to get ready for later? :lol:

We're back to the same arguments as the last plane, no-one who funded either claimed to be representing a majority of anything, there was no vote, no referendum, just a collection of like minded individuals who decided to do something.
There won't be a vote anytime a few dozen fans of a club decide to spend their money on winding someone else up, these things happen.
Like the lads I saw on FB yesterday all taking rafa masks down to Watford, I suppose they should be mindful of this majority?

The vote is you either hoy a tenner in or you don't.

The company flying the plane over couldn't have generated more free publicity if they had tried. Superb marketing campaign for them and they've had to do nothing. Nice one Newcastle! :lol:

I feel a bit sorry for them, not that it'll be bothering them one bit.

I met them last year and they were spot on, just decent ordinary blokes. Given the business they're in I can't imagine them having to deal with this level of stupidity very often.

"Four donations have been made, with an anonymous one of just over £1,000 accounting for virtually the whole of the total amount raised. The page says £900 will be for the aircraft trailing the banner, with the rest going to charity."

Really?

The donation of just over a grand was all of the donations so far that were raised through paypal. I think he just added them as an offline donation when he created the gofundme page.

There were donations of £200 and £250 though I think, the rest were just £10's chipped in as far as I know.

I have emailed the echo to let them know that there was no £1000 donations

Most of it. Not the bit about charity as the plane has kickstarted a huge amount of donations to various charities.

I just think it's a bit rich for us to bang on about being 'classier' fans (bobby Robson/raising money in memory of victims of plane being shot down) and then to go on and on like this when they get relegated - wearing Rafa masks, flying planes. To me, it looks small time and, yes, a little obsessed. I prefer to crack on with what we're doing and leave them to their own shit - they're pretty good at it.

Not judgin those tha want to do it, I just don't really get it myself and hope the perception isn't that this is all Sunderland fans doing this.
