Spirit of 37 - display v Newcastle


DonaldDownTheWing said:
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.

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.

Appreciate what you and Donald have done, the club management really are wankers.
Even when we had the tit trio the gap between fans and club was never this bad.

Abysmal, and Dopey Davo at the wheel.

I hope at some point in the future, when the remaining members feel the time is right, that they just stop doing it and spend their efforts highlighting all of this shite and making it as public as possible.

Imagine how they treat the rest of the club if they treat yous like this..it's almost self sabotage

That is a f***ing disgrace, again anyone defending the club over the way they treat home fans should hang their head in shame.

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.

Fingers up his arse so far, I am assuming he was behind pulling the sports direct logo sports washing tifo being pulled.

Always looking for coins …..

Bruce won't have had anything to do with the tifo being pulled I wouldn't have thought. Apparently Bruce has been working on some things, but hasn't been front and centre yet (personal reasons). He'll be more involved next year, and hopefully he'll be a real asset. From what I've heard about him he seems to "get it", more so than the others at the club presently

Did they give a reason for not providing storage/assistance?

Surely can't be money as I'd imagine the lads would've said we would do it for free

He came into work, despite the reason he’s not been involved much, to stop the sports washing tifo.

He may well turn out to be an asset to the club, but I’m yet to see anything.

That's a genuine disgrace and as one or two others have said should be highlighted.

That specific example should be raised with the club through rawa (@Guinness Guzzler ) its just another clear example of the contempt certain employees at the club have for the support.

But your efforts definitely have been appreciated by many in our support.

Honestly mate, who do you highlight it to any more?

The only person who helps knows. There’s no internal communication, they’re sound to your face then don’t act on anything they say.

We spoke to a company who can offer 3D tifo’s using pulley systems. They said they’d do a free site survey, we said we’d ask the club to let us know when they can do it. They said they would.

We’re still waiting like 5 months later. They just don’t care.
