Six of us have sat together in the north stand for over a decade. Four of them since the stadium opened. Chances of us sitting together for this is virtually zero. Many thanks SAFC hierarchy for rolling over on this.
One thing is for certain. the scum would not have increased our allocation on the grounds of safety..Would they have given us the Gallowgate end and moved there supporters???? would they feck
Are you one of these groups who spends the whole game chatting to each other and passing out sweets? What happens if one or two are ill, do the rest of you stay at home. Do you all go to the toilet together and do you go to away games if you can't sit together?
Christ almighty are people still blaming the club for a safety committee decision. You’re guaranteed seats just not your preferred location.
Don’t get the need to have a pop at fellow SAFC fans. If people are loyal enough to go to games week in and week out, why should they compromise for Newcastle fans.
How is that a pop mate, I'm just struggling to understand that's all. I enjoy meeting up, having a drink with the lads, discussing the team news, etc. As soon as the first whistle blows I'm watching the game intently, singing and jumping around when we score. Against West Brom I moved seats because there was a bunch of people constantly chatting away, mostly about who was shyte but sometimes about nothing to do with football. That's fair enough but it must be tedious at times if you're sat in front of them.
This. Only difference is Hartlepool was in the early days of internet so there wasn’t people spreading bile and spitting their fannies out. The Hartlepool fans made for a great atmosphere and for me, having not had a derby for years, this will be great for the game. You still get a seat, amongst the Sunderland fans. Only objection I’d agree with is if they put a lower bowl season card holder upstairs, that wouldn’t be right cos it’s gash up there L, tried it once for a cup game about 15 year ago (Ipswich I think it was)
The questions are fair enough mind, I will absolutely agree those questions are fair to ask. But walkouts impacting the team, and of all games v Coventry? No, can’t justify that.
Aye well that I’m on board with, but there’s better ways to handle this mate. Walkouts are for them up the road, we don’t do that. We will all back appropriate means of backing our fans as a group. This isn’t appropriate.
No doubt there'll be a counter-huff by people having their view obscured by people wandering about in a huff. Will the original huffers care or is it only themselves they're interested in?
Some of the stuff I've read (not too much on this board) is staggering to me. Fans suggesting that they're "constantly **** on by the club"... I honestly don't see how anyone could have that opinion of KLD after what we've seen under his ownership. Has it been perfect? Of course not. Mistakes along the way? Absolutely. But constantly **** on? If what I see on that pitch every week is being **** on, then I can't wait to see the good times. The reality is that as a Sunderland fan, you can watch your boyhood club at a relatively cheap price, in a nice ground central to the City, where they've put together a team that contains some of the most promising young players in the country, playing good football at a good level. Life isn't bad unless you're looking for problems.
People should just enjoy the day the best they can. It's only gone to absolute knicker wetting because it's the skunks, it's a knockout game FFS. It's up to our home support to match theirs, it's a Derby, atmosphere will be electric. The arrangements are made now, absolutely pointless bleating about it now, people should get behind the club, reflect on the present and thank the lord, the days of the clowns are in the past. That's my spin, each to their own devices though at the end of the day.
There’s an element that won’t say it but they simply don’t like KLD. There a minority but they are vocal. Its often sly digs and masked as something else, but in reality it’s a young, wealthy man who lives a life many dream of and folk are envious of that. To question the changes in the clubs standing, stability, infrastructure and playing staff under the bloke simply doesn’t stand up. He is learning on the job and he learns quickly. The Beale decision feels flat because of some of the linked names, but question KLD? No, not me mate. He is ambitious, but he is smart with it, we are debt free more or less ( at least any debt is manageable and affordable), we are growing, our profile is rising again , and we have a pile of player being eyed from the PL. We had Parkinson and were signing players from League 2, we sold Bali Mumba for 50k or some ****, youth talent was running away. The turnaround, and this is still just the start, is actually quite jaw dropping g when you look at it all.
If the good times are giving up on your own supporters , sorry, Customers , then they can fecking stick it.. I'm a fairly rational bloke and love the quiet life but I have never felt so outcast by my Club in nearly sixty years... We've had good times, not many granted and we've had bad time, plenty of those but this latest debacle comes soley based on "How much money can we make". Its clear to see it's the wonga the club are chasing.. not the fans who keep the club alive with passion and fervour. These bastards have sold out our fans without so much as a care.
You know as well mate. Why is nobody talking about our home form this season? Where’s the glow in that positive? Home form is chalk and cheese from last season.
I'm struggling to understand that logic. How do they make so much more money from giving Newcastle a bigger allocation?
