Spirit of 37 - display v Newcastle

I think a couple of the lads are still keen to carry on so I’m sure there’ll be something. There’s a lot of stock there that won’t be left to rot for certain.

I just really haven’t got the time to commit to it enough anymore. You go in 3 hours early and get grief of stewards cos flags were left in the seats, grief of the deputy safety officer saying he’s going to throw it all out because it was blocking an access way (only after a club contractor moved it all and left it in a f***ing tip)

We try to keep it all neat, which is difficult when there’s only a few people there to set up/tidy away and this is what the club treat the stock like.

They shifted it all to install a drainage pipe and let rainwater leak all over our stuff. We’ve been asking for storage for over a year. They don’t value us, just like they don’t value supporters.

As safc fans you should be ashamed of the treatment to so37.
And the likes of Neil and his cohorts can stick a ragged stick up their hoops.

Sorry to hear that marra.

I (and many others on here) value the work you and the others have done. Thanks for all the effort you’ve put in.

We’ve been asking for proper storage for over a year. Got told on Saturday that if they weren’t removed from the ground then security would do it for us.

A couple of phone calls and suddenly the boxes we’ve been asking for have been ordered.

You couldn’t write it.

The club nearest me have a cupboard built into a breeze block wall for the ultras, in the segunda divison 3. Surely there is room somewhere on the concourse for some locals tradesmen via the smb for free to knock up a small 4x2-3m room somewhere. Possibly far left side of the south stand along the current solid wall downstairs.

Aye we asked for the little room at the far end of the south stand but that’s now a spreadex betting stand.

There’s a room in 62A that would be perfect but apparently it gets used. We cleaned it out once and found stuff from when Rhianna played the stadium in 2012😂😂

Some of the displays you have done will last in mine and many others memories forever, the fans appreciate it even if the club don’t

Has this been shown shown on Twitter, Facebook etc?
I bloody well hope so.
 
I have been a volunteer helping with Spirit of 37 going back to when it was formally known Roker End Flags.
I know first hand some of the crap that has been going on with the safety etc and it has worsened this season.
The lads who organise the displays should have medals for what they have to put up with.
After seeing that photo, that's it, that's me finished.

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.

Would be a joke if it’s a red and white display. Totally agree with you, SO37 should pull it.
