I think all league teams had a vote on the decision.
That’s what my da told me anyway and he was a regular at Redheugh.

Yeah just read that all the league had a vote but some years the “full members” (top 2 divisions) votes were worth more than the “associate members” (bottom 2 divisions)

Is Gateshead mentioned on any of the flags?

Likely just be black and white ones and some generic message I'd imagine.

Don't really see the issue with them allowing flags to be used by another team, and said team giving them credit for it. It's just a good gesture?

If one of our local teams that play in red and white had won the league, and Spirit of '37 (?) decided to lend them some generic flags whilst we weren't playing we'd all be canny happy with that. Wouldn't we?

As a heed fan who also support Sunderland at first a was a bit miffed. But it’s literally just black and white flags that they’ve donated to help the club celebrate winning the league.

Can’t see the problem in that and the Vaud outrage is weird.

I would ban all flags from all grounds.
Sadly we now have them at SOL.
Another modern obsession foisted upon us.
Can we not be trusted to create an atmosphere without props.
As for Gateshead who have Sunderland season ticket holders in attendance they need to take a serious look at themselves.

No, the atmosphere has been shit for years
