I think it goes with the territory of what they do, it hasn't all been great publicity either, the Geordie Nashun have been making death threats since the last fly by.

They've also lost a grand because one Mag was just about to book them for his kids Birthday party but he's not going to bother now ;)

Which bit?
 
Last time out I thought the plane was a tacky idea. But there were so many whingers and inappropriate comments making it something it wasn't I donated anyway. I'm glad I did, because looking back its now part of the derby's history.

This time around I thought it had been overdone, but yet again the reaction from some quarters is nearly as bad, but this time the mags are absolutely going mental about it, so, given all the hastle this pilots had, fuck it. I'm going to support it again.

Most of it. Not the bit about charity as the plane has kickstarted a huge amount of donations to various charities.

I just think it's a bit rich for us to bang on about being 'classier' fans (bobby Robson/raising money in memory of victims of plane being shot down) and then to go on and on like this when they get relegated - wearing Rafa masks, flying planes. To me, it looks small time and, yes, a little obsessed. I prefer to crack on with what we're doing and leave them to their own shit - they're pretty good at it.

Not judgin those tha want to do it, I just don't really get it myself and hope the perception isn't that this is all Sunderland fans doing this.

You must be a Mag ~ you've spelled "obsessed" correctly and it's got more than 4 letters.

The reason people were against it last time was because we were still in a relegation scrap and below them in the league. Now we are safe and they are going down, it's a completely different kettle of fish.

Ah the word obsessed being used again. It now seems that taking the piss out of our main rivals isn't allowed to be seen as anything else these days :confused: How long before we ask for mixed fans sections for the derby seeing as we can't mock them without being seen as obsessed? I must have been obsessed since I was a kid then as I've always taken the piss outta the Mags in the limited times I could :lol:

What about the lack of the mention of their fans sending death threats for 3 months?

Mr Elliot also revealed that the last time the company flew over Newcastle, “We spent three months fending off death threats.”

He added: “It hasn’t put us off this time – it’s what we do.”

Contrary to suggestions, we have not been asked, nor would we consider, flying the banner at 17 minutes past the hour.

The bloke was trying to claim the moral high ground then mentioned a game that was played in October 2010, 5 and a half years ago.

It's laughable one sided drivel on a huge scale by someone who's f***ing devastated that little old Sunderland are ripping the piss :)
