We're currently a bang average 3rd division team with aspirations to be a poor 2nd division one, and you're a poor PL team with aspirations to be a bang average one.

Ok, thanks for the responses. Just wondering why that would change the next time NUFC win a domestic trophy? It seemed that you were suggesting that would be when it would flip.

What history does saudi Arabia have to be proud of? Absolutely disgusting, revolting vile place to live now and back then.

The desolate terrain between the Red Sea coast and the mountainous Jordanian border may have seemed like the perfect blank canvas to build a mini-state. However, there are people already living there - members of the ancient and traditionally nomadic Bedouin Huwaitat tribe. The project promises to create jobs and generate wealth in this underdeveloped region, but so far the local population haven't seen any benefits.

Human rights campaigners say that two towns have been cleared and 20,000 members of the Huwaitat forcibly removed, without adequate compensation, in order to build the megacity. "The efforts to forcibly displace the indigenous population is one that breaches every norm and rule of international human rights law," says Sarah Lea Whitson, executive director of Democracy for the Arab World Now.

One man was even killed. In April 2020, Abdulrahim al-Huwaiti refused to be evicted from his home in Tabuk and began posting videos online. Days later, he was shot by Saudi security forces - as he had predicted would happen.

As as been discussed a few days ago if SAFC/or any other club were taken over by the Saudis most fans would be celebrating, and yes I know you will always get the "I would rather walk away" or "No blood money here" etc.
The answer is still the same for every fan who gives up ticket/walks away/stop supporting etc another 10 will be waiting for it, if SAFC were in premiership NUFC in L1 the banter/remarks/slagging off would be exactly the same.
I now expect a load of comments on here along the lines of "not me I'd be finished/I'm nothing like NUFC fans/I'm more concerned about human rights to continue support" etc.......don't kid yourselves football fans the world over are basically all the same
