It's Skunks talk time

This is why football fans never get treated the way other sports fans do. It's so parochial and tribal it's embarrassing.
Sticking a couple of banners up for 1 game and people losing their ****

 

Sunderland fans - desperate to be upset about something on a daily basis since the dawn of time

 

It’s the mags. Don’t understand any lads fan who has anything but hatred for them. This is a disgrace, I won’t be told otherwise.

 

Mate they have took down all red and white, Sunderland memorabilia. Literally repainted sections, out up black and white signs, posters etc. Relocated our own loyal fans, stopped our fans have flag displays before a game. .

This is the worst decision the top brass have made in some time and I know for certain people who forget this

 

Aye me neither. If anyone has no emotion of these they need to stop watching football and take up rugby

 

Good for you. I have friends and family who are B&W - I can sit next to them at a table, but I can also tell them I hate their ****ing club. Doesn't mean I have to hate them.
Sunderland supporters coming off really badly in this - it's like an inferiority complex

 

Imagine not being bothered about this? Clearly don’t give a **** about SAFC. The club are taking the piss.

 

Do you hate our club for responding to Newcastle's requests, doing everything to accommodate them, just to chase the Saudi blood money (the money we say is a disgrace )

 

It’s a fecking disgrace, I cannot think of any other team that would accommodate their nearest rivals like this or bending over and taking it up the arse. I agree with everyone on here that someone should be sacked for this and if kld has sanctioned this then he needs to **** off as well. If he has then a lot of fans will turn on him

 

Yeah I don't give a **** about my club because I'm refusing to over react to this and lose my ****. There will be people genuinely excited by this so they can criticise the club even more than they already are.

 

Don’t be ridiculous. It’s sickening.

 

I am too long in the tooth to burst a blood vessel over things that I have no influence over. I think the decision by the club is insensitive and ill-conceived but provided it’s all returned to normal by the time we play Hull I couldn’t really give a ****.

This club is in the best financial state that I can remember and ran professionally from top to bottom, and yet I have heard calls for KLD to sack his senior management team and sell up.

It beggars belief that adults can be so sensitive and hand them lot up the road more ammunition to take the piss out of us.

 

It depends on whether you are on the side of the facts (FA rules, SAG decisions etc) or conjecture (club bending over, spineless, owner doesn't care etc) as to whether you think the club has done everything to accommodate them.
The money (for tickets) will come from the mag supporters rather than the club, so it's a weird spin to call it Saudi money.

 

Sums up my feelings perfectly

Barnes says the decision came from the top.

 

Some were predicting we'd be "Putting up memorabilia" and decking the place out in B&W - so those same lot will be pulling themselves dry at more things to slag the club off about.

@Montysoptician has got it spot on IMHO

 

Mate they have literally re decorated our premium BCB in their colours. If that's not bending over then what do you want ? Local hero as both teams run out ?

 

Don't be silly man. I can't believe that you cannot see how much of an over reaction this is.

 

I don’t think they would’ve shown us the same hospitality if the match was at their place or if we draw will they do the same, will they ****, we won’t even get the 6000 tickets that we’re promised for a replay.
