To be honest I was never a fan of it, I liked the ship badge and the one before it but still accepted the new one, changing it is no big deal to me at the moment.

The stadium name is another one I'm not bothered about, I grew up with RP, and the SOL has never really sat that well with me - if the link is the pit call it Wearmouth.

And although I'm an old fart that rails against the 'commodification of everything' I understand the importance of money from naming rights at the moment - though funnily enough I'd find a name change more difficult from RP!

Similar here mate. Leaving Roker Park was the big change, which was right and had to be done, and any other change in comparison is small change.

Anything that takes the club forward in terms of image or anything else for that matter is fine by me.

The absolute constants are the fans past and present, our history and the famous red and white stripes.

God I am excited about the future again now.

Got to agree mate, I understood the reasoning but God it was wrench to leave RP, and once that was done it felt like any other change was just 'small beer' in comparison.

I just want this to be done now, I didn't really have a lot of faith that we'd get automatic promotion this season, so I REALLY need some daft reason to hope that we can do it somehow.

I’ve always gone to matches with my son but lately he’s not been that enthusiastic and tbh I can’t blame him. We pick and choose our games these days but as soon as I heard about Mr Donald’s talk in I thought “ Aye Aye” this has got to be it, party time. A piece of history.
So, I texted my son offering to pay for a taxi there and back, tickets and all drinks. I couldn’t believe it when his response was “ Naaah”.
We need this takeover to re focus all the fans who have fallen by the wayside in the last few seasons. Get them back to the club. ( I include myself to some extent).
If this comes off the way people say it will, the Sky is the limit and everyone will want a piece of the action.
F.T.M.
