Serious takeover talk

Much though if they're putting the money in their entitled to do what they think is required I order to make us profitable and improve us (within reason) I would be pretty pissed off if we went down that route. Never been a fan of the whole black cat thing and for it to effectively become our image instead of the ships, the mines or anything else would be a bit of a bad start to their reign imo. There must be simple designs they could do that would be more in line with what has gone previously.

That being said I only really have two red lines if you will. The name of the club should always be Sunderland AFC and we should always have a red and white striped home shirt. Other than that they can do what they must imo, I'd still be very disappointed with a black cat badge though!

 

If Juventus can change their 100 year old badge I think we can live without the 20 year old monstrosity we have like.

 

Spot on mate! I treat message boards a bit like pubs for those of us who can't get to a pub! I used to be an exile, I'd travel for all the home games and some aways but instead of going for a few pints after I'd be traveling back, so I'd use a message board to be able to have all the same crack. Who played well, how do we think the seasons going, some off topic bollocks.

Met my missus after a match on one of the nights I was staying over. Few months later she was pregnant so I knew I was moving to Sunderland. Thing is, now I'm here I still can't go to pubs all that much cos I'm getting straight home from the match to watch the littleun since the missus works all weekend. So again these places were like my pub! It's why I can't understand people who come on with "personas", I just come on as me and have a bit of crack about SAFC, football and general stuff. I wouldn't go to a pub and pretend to be ultra negative or ultra positive. Anyway, back to the takeover, we must be nearly there now!!

 

****ing hell mate.....You just can't win!

 

Not all of us some of us do prefer talking about football

 

I think I'd prefer a ship too, but I'm just guessing they will want a logo that ties in with our nickname. I suppose they could change our nickname to The Shippers with our lack of clean sheets!

 

Log off here mate, go and shag some bird and then see what she says. She's given you permission as I see it

 

Are tickets still available for the SD talk-in? Been on safc.com and can't find any info on it at all.

 

If the badge was to be changed I could only see it being changed once we were in the Premier League personally to maximise exposure.

 

You need to go on the ticket sales page mate and they're in there along with the usual match tickets.

 

As long as we keep the red and white stripes

 

I know far too many where that sentence would have read rather differently, and they probably would have needed to decide which area they were going to move to and who to piss off

 

Doing some paperwork

 

nope. 22 options, match tickets, tours and legends tours only.

 

White and red stripes for me.

 

well, once RP was demolished i think i learned to 'let go'... holding onto things just holds you back, i 'relive' it all in my memories and that is the place to keep all such things, was never a fan of the badge or the stadium name but accepted them as 'the way it will be'...almost a year to the day since i dropped down dead and needed two jump starts and all i am really bothered about now is having a bit more time yet so they can change wtf they want if i see my team in a better position.

 

Must have sold out mate. Wonder how many tickets were available...

 

I miss then old ship badge, hopefully its a decent version of that

 

Me too reminds me of my dad the old badge.

 

yeah, that's what I thought, bummer.
