Spirit of 37 - display v Newcastle

On a personal level, I wholeheartedly agree Wayne.

However if I'm a travel agent and I'm trying to sell holidays to the good folk in Newcastle, and as minimal as the risk may be, Id much rather keep my brand clean whilst its broadcast on national TV. If it damages my brand on TV then thats on you as the football club and we'll have to talk about it. Same goes for Nike and a lot of the clubs corporate clients. They are more important to the club than you. They are more important than the fans, because they know you'll still always turn up.

No amount of shouting is going to change it Waz lad, a whole lot of listening just might though. You can understand that can't you?

The saddest part of the financial transparency thing is that its overwhelming benefit would be to protect the decent and hardworking lads and lasses who are doing this. I can't understand why they wouldn't be desperate to do this because until they do, they'll always be wide open. There's nowt quite as queer as folk.

Get it properly constituted and you might find the club becomes a lot more receptive.

There’s an element of our fanbase online who thrive off stirring shit and putting the knife in.

You can imagine what they’d have been like at school. All stood round trying to take the piss out of one person.

It’s the same with the club. Reaction to RAWA, Ticketmaster, e-tickets, club shop, everything… people can’t wait to put the boot in. There’s definitely some aspects which are poor and some are downright shambolic but some people just seem to enjoy complaining. Always annoys me more when it’s aimed at fan groups or local players though

I don’t even follow her but she’s constantly on my timeline.
Loves some attention her, I’m not one to stick the boot in and be misogynistic but she certainly doesn’t help herself when it comes to getting pelters.

I’m sure that’s the lass that was going berserk during the ‘Elsie’ drama on Twitter a couple of years back, ended up fighting on there with the real lass who’s pictures were used for days on end about scamming people.

It’s really simple, Sunderland have some big sponsors. Sponsorship is a very sensitive thing for any brand. Sponsors are very keen not to deviate from 100% vanilla with their association. Hence, no FTM. Nothing whatsoever to do with a club employee being a supporter of another club.

See Celtic and the GB issues at the moment. Not the board or management. It’s adidas, JD Sports.

Like the owner of the club wearing an FTM pinbadge?

It’s quite frankly a barmy suggestion really. Some people just say things without thinking about them at times (me included).

What are we supposed to do? Give him his money back, say “no thanks. We won’t want your money because of something that has only been rumoured on a message board”.

Then what? No display? We have to sort through every individual donor, contact them, get their bank details, refund the money etc etc?

Exactly mate.
There’s been some right duckegg comments on here over the last week or so.

I can’t believe some are on about boycotting the Mags match!?
Social media really does make people say/think some daft stuff.
