Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Saudi State FC - FA Cup 3rd Round – Saturday 6th January 2024 - KO 12:45

Can’t see how you can say that, I mean they look exactly what you’d expect from multi billionaire KLD paying someone to decorate for him, no expense spared

 

Can we get back to talking about the football?

 

It’s not mate, unfortunately. Been confirmed by local journos and volunteers who have put them up. It’s real and it’s a disgrace.

 

Does that aspect bother you massively?

 

Won’t happen now. Sour taste been left. It’ll be toxic on Saturday.

 

No idea mate

One of my mates will be in the black cat bar on saturday so he will be spending me pictures

That's when ill make a judgement on it

Got to be about the win now, hope we do it - be huge for us n the young lads to get a derby win

 

Too many to link. Just have a look for yourself.

 

As one example of how decisions aren't always popular. The Showmans Guild, who put on the huge travelling fairs, would hire the Rock City nightclub on the night before the Goose Fair in Nottingham.

That sometimes meant the regular Student or Goth night was cancelled which upset them as they were regulars.

We also had, amongst the 18/20 doormen, a few lads you'd describe as Gypsies. They'd be given a night off whether they wanted it or not. The families of Travellers and Gypsies often have long standing grudges which always meant trouble.

That night was always the worst of the year so all care would be taken ...

... even down to a meeting with the DJ to discuss the play list and any music that should be avoided.

Definitely not God save the Queen at chucking out time

 

Mag kernt

 

What about they’ve hired the bar for the period of the game and they can stick up what they want.

 

I would rather play in league on that sell our soul to accomdate the filth.

 

I’m on there. I’m not seeing it.

Seen loads of our own saying how poisonous they’re going to make it on Saturday (for SAFC, not for the Mags).

 

Aye thatll be great for the players. Massive derby match n the supporters turn it toxic

If folk want to turn against kld n the board, do it after the game

A win on the pitch will be massive for us and will be unbelievably bad for them - theyve been bragging since their takeover, lets get behind the team n put them back in their place

 

Yeh - that will annoy people that they gave away that right. However would mean this was a stupid oversight and mistake rather than necessarily something that we've agreed to.

For that - whoever agreed to it should resign. But it wouldn't be enough for me to want KLD out.

They need to be open about how this has happened though otherwise people will want him out.

 

Couldn’t blame them, tbh.

 

Yes. We've been a laughing stock for 10+ years now in the footballing world and just as we are putting an end to that we do something like this.

 

I would prefer it if he supported a team in league one.

 

What’s your intention going in to the game? Chanting against the club from the start?

 

I would prefer all the fans who want KLD removed to be kicked out to be honest.
Rebuild with real Sunderland supporters.

 

I’ll be in the South Stand (not particularly happy after being shifted from my ST seat in the North Stand - to accommodate our bitter rivals), supporting the team. Will I care if I hear any chants towards KLD and co? Not at all, it’s deserved. Brung it on themselves.
