There’s a few on there who are negative about literally everything we do.

One called STID with Mowbray in a flat cap as profile picture. Ralph Lane posted yesterday that we wouldn’t hold up whatever we put in his seat ffs😂😂😂

That or any of the EKWAH SZNNN, CLARKE SZNNN virgins as well. Lad on there as AlrightTreacle who has a load of followers starts a lot of it off but tries to look innocent about it. Just wants to have people ganging up.

People have literally no idea the costs of these things like. We’ve actually got a good deal due to spending a lot of money.

Another reason I’m done with it after this. And no, it’s not just red and white stripes.

People are idiots in general and self appointed experts on everything. Particularly atm things cost a lot, I was working a Christmas market a few weeks back and someone started twisting that some of our food would be cheaper if they bought the ingredients and made it themselves… well yes how the fuck would we make any profit if we were selling for less than the cost of ingredients

Haters will always hate, mate. Im sure its like water off a ducks back, but worth saying anyway...'don't let the bastards get you down'. What you lads do is amazing and appreciated by most...inc the recent protest banners. Please keep going.

Yep. The old Roker End surfer that RAWA got done years ago, to renew that is more than double the cost it was.

He's sneaky in how he goes about it as well. Gets everyone stirred up then pretends he's not personally that arsed.

The app is woeful compared to 7-8 years back.

Do the knackers on twitter think the photo of the red and white cards think that’s a photo from the match next week and that’s why they are asking for invoices again? 😂

Yep.

12 year olds asking how it's costing 17k and wanting to see invoices on where their £2.14 donation has gone.

Get this loads in food/hospitality etc. Daft bastards haven’t clicked on it costs them less to wash their own cars instead of paying someone else to do it yet though.

Agreed. There's still people saying we had to give the mags the north stand. At least an admission that isn't the case would be welcome. They need to reset the relationship with those passionate enough to do the flags etc, but I'm not holding my breath tbh

If the club had said they were worried about security and we have a long history of that being the case and we want the allocation restricted to past league game levels betwean the clubs (long history of managing that level of away support),nobody but "the Mag" would have battered an eye and what a sensible decision that would have been!!!11.....Personally i always look at the money side of things and i cannot get away from the fact that newcastle has offered to pay for the extra security being a big part of the equation plus the owners family having dealings with the saudi state and the club not wanting their failings to provide decent protection for home fans if they had housed them in the north upper only!
Im sure the logistics for the newcastle fans will make for a less that optimum experience which will only be forgotten about if they win.....the police as usual are treating fans like animals to be herded and the club is treating their own fans like numbers on a spread sheet.....it could and should have been handled much much better but the new owners have learned that they simply have to say little and let time go by and something else will distract the mass of sunderland supporters and all will be forgotten.....sadly we love our club and want to support it and thee owners throughout the years have taken advantage of that and will continue to do so as the only action we can take is dont buy tickets and we are not going to do that anytime soon.
We have to move on from the days of frightening the children with stories of haw bad the three amigos were and how the nearly destroyed the club ..we are past that now and we need to critique our new owners on their own merits..... this model they have adopted needs a thorough assessment and we need to look at what our owners do and not what they say they will do....ask them what there goals are ! do they see us as a top ten prem club?if yes how are they proposing to get us there and if not why not?...lets be open and honest and see where that gets us !..I personally think the model is flawed and will not bring us long term success.But it depends on what you categorise as success i suppose and for me that would have safc in ten years time being an established premiership club looking back at 5 years in the prem and that sees relegation as a never never event!If KLD cannot provide us with that or that isnt his ambition let him tell us now! If he is happy for us to be solvent championship club with the odd foray into the prem every 3-4 years well let hi tell us now and we can get used to the mediocrity......
 
SO37 should pull the display at the 11th hour.
The one you wanted to order was Newcastle match specific and I'd imagine this one is more generic red and white / haway the lads / safc badge. Save it for last game of the season.

Send a real message to the club - you vetoed our idea, we're pulling this display because of some spurious reason. Just like they do to you.

The club have been a disgrace with the contempt they have shown on this issue and you should leave them without any display.
