The Spirit of 37 stance - Saudi fixture in Dubai.
- Thread starter The Spirit of 37
- Start date
Here, here have RAWA and the other groups made a similar statement? If not, they should.
Get this needless fixture cancelled

so we shouldn't talk to anyone from Saudi because their country has a horrific leadership, is that right?
this is totally ridiculous
as for the OP they don't stand for what I want, they can have their say but I will have mine

no. too many of your post stink of gravy. If you are not a mag then you have a very low opinion of SAFC.
Mags will be seething at the majority of our supporter base stance on this.
Tell you something, any Saudi investment in the club and that’s me and the other season card in the house done.
Stands for everything that SAFC is and should be against.
Fair enough, but we shouldn’t be playing a Saudi team full stop.

Indeed it doesn't take long to out them. It and its ilk are diverting a serious thread.

Who said that? We do not need to be going to Dubai (remember we don't have enough cash to put up netting to keep our fans safe) and we certainly do not need to play a Saudi team.
Of course it's not anywhere near as bad as what the mags are doing but SAFC have loads of options on who to play in a friendly, so it's a choice, and one they shouldn't have taken IMO.
No blood on our hands please.

I think it’s a bloody stupid idea, an own goal by the club.
But this thread is somewhat self important

They are no less entitled to their opinion than anyone else on here. Also think it's important that all the fans groups with a public platform call it out.

Sorry to be a bit pedantic here...but if you want warm weather training/match...go to the Canaries..warm enough there.

It's seemingly a statement by them.
Something which they are perfectly entitled to do

Why does it bother you all so much that we actually have a moral compass?
They absolutely are.
I’m going to start a new thread with my opinion, for the likes

Just had a response from Chris Waters on twitter saying he is collating all of the feedback on this via emails, so if you want the club to take note then email [email protected].
He said tomorrow is his last day at work for 2 weeks so get your feedback in sharpish.

Not for me, I’m glad Spirit of 37 are at least expressing their opinions in this.
I hope RAWA, WMS, ALS etc follow up as well. We’ve shown before the collective power of the support groups.
As a season card holder I would love them to dial up the pressure on the club that we won’t be complicit in accepting this.

Can’t help thinking that if it wasn’t for the mags owners the majority of Sunderland supporters wouldn’t give two shites about Saudi
That’s the whole point in this message board to express your opinion.
We are aware that opinions will vary on this but we think it's important to demonstrate the group are happy to challenge the club as well as working with the club to showcase our proud history.
