We’ve just submitted the order. Total raised after fees by the fundraising platform was £14,607.19. Thank you to everyone who donated.

Total spent on order is £14,506.20. The difference of £100 will be used to to pay for things we need for banners, such as paint at sellotape/gaffa tape.

Class, Dont jack it in, The majority love the displays and it makes the SOL better.

Yes, I know. They drop you in it all the time and it's always you's that get the flack as a result. The payment KLD has sent has red flags all over it and there's not needed to have been one prior.

I've donated in the past and more often than not backed yous on here with the others but I've held back on this one as I've got not confidence in the club being straight with yous.

Same here. I was going to dump a few quid but have held off for exactly the same reason.
Still can’t get my head around the silence from the club , the hurried email from Safc regards Quinn’s tickets needing to be paid for tomorrow( not forgetting the price £113- I know it’s the mags but traditionally early round cup games were heavily discounted as a good will gesture and to get the crowd up aswell)
The thought of paying over £300 quid for our 3 seats and have the whole of the NS full of mags who could potentially be going mental if the game goes the way we all dread 😟.
Add to that the possibility of the display being reduced or curtailed by powers above.

Then again we might beat the fckers and it could be the best day of the season .

What to do 🤔

Hope my £5 went towards the banner and not sellotape!

It’s honestly not worth it mate.

We all changed our matchday routines, some of us have actually spent some of our own money to cover things, the amount of time it takes to mock up designs for the club to pull them at the 11th hour.

It used to be fun, but it’s not anymore.

Doff my cap to lads like you.
The club should be giving out free ST every year for supporters like you.
 
Hope the club are still backing whatever it is SO37 were planning to do. Off the field I have zero faith in the club so wouldn't at all be surprised to see the display pulled at the last minute. We're weird as fuck off the field for displays. And while Newcastle actually fund a lot of theirs, the people doing it make it look good and that's what we want to see. Yet the club don't seem interested in the slightest

It comes from the top. You see it over in Europe where fans groups have a bit of clout and the bond between club and fans is everything .
Even over here you see it working . As you said the scum seem to embrace it and create something decent - mind would they be doing it in the championship after the years we have had ?

I just hope that the club don’t interfere with what the lads on here have worked their socks of trying to achieve.
