Agree that the names are shit but the only way there would ever have been 40 or 50 thousand people voting on this would be if the options were 'The Newcastle Is Topper Bridge' and 'The Newcastle Is Shit Bridge'fair enough, a decent amount voted. but everything i have read and heard related to the naming has been negative, disgusted, angry or apathetic comments. practically 100% of people who have had an opinion heard have disliked the names. who knows how many may have voted had they took it seriously. imagine the threads on here, facebook discussions and pub conversations had the three options actually been relevant, interesting, diverse, and, heaven for bid, related to sunderland with the word 'bridge' in the name.
imagine the publicity we could have gained from having a vote that 40 or 50 thousand people voted on? they could have had people in the town or outside of the match taking votes, but they know they would have got dogs abuse and rightly so. its incompetence at best, and a piss take at worse. either way its worth having an opinion on
