This Is Wearside - Poppy Day Display

Won't be long until these are chased from doing this by people wrongly calling them thieves for daring to ask for contributions.

I agree but not sure it would make a difference with a minority of our support. There's numerous on twitter shouted for itemised receipts to account for every penny of what SO37 did.

I've already seen one tweet reply to the new group from one of the accusers saying "open book accounting and proof of receipts and you won't get any problem from me". The lad in question doesn't even contribute.

Probably be easier with a DD scheme to evidence costs via monthly contributions if people are that arsed.

They're trying to raise funds to do a display for remembrance day against Coventry. Don't know if it's been highlighted elsewhere but let's give them our support and donate no matter how little it is. Be interesting to see how they top the huge poppy display by so37

You are correct. We used to get DMs from people asking to see display plans or coming up with some quite frankly ludicrous suggestions, then we wouldn’t reply because we were busy and the next thing you know they’re giving us grief.

None of the big display groups around Europe share the ins and outs. People complained we didn’t do anything controversial against the mags at the same time as complaining we weren’t open enough😂

There’s some absolute freaks out there.
 
I think I would be a nice touch to send Sunderland born and boyhood Sunderland fan Josh Kelly a Good Luck Message via a banner at the Boro game for his huge fight at Wembley on the evening of the 21st Sept .
 
The 37 lads did a spectacular job and i'm still not sure the whole story of their demise has come out!.. this new lot are trying their best but they are not at 37's level yet! I wonder itfits down to funding but the smaller flag displays ,the flags look much poorer quality than before ,less vibrant and more washed out and that can only be due to money ..sadly though because of what happened to the 37 mob securing funding will be harder!

The club did too much to make life hard for SO37. I won’t personally support this new lot as they seem to be in the pocket of the club.

Let’s not forget that it was while SO37 were in the stadium that the BCB fiasco was discovered.

There’d be photos online for the rest of time had some of the volunteers not gone up to the back of the BCB that day.

Lots of people want to just forget about it and forgive the club, but that’s only possible because of them.

Many people on here believe the club can do no wrong! And that's not a healthy state of affairs!S037 obviously somehow narked the club and they have made life difficult for them ,so much so they quit.The club has a tendency to do stuff ,make little comment about it and let the passage of time dull the the negative responses..SO37 did a fantastic job and are big shoes to fill and these new lot are just not cutting the mustard ..northeast folk hate unfairness at a primal level and the club shitty behaviour to SO37 will linger for a long time and i personally will not be donating to them anytime soon.
