    "That the visitors were being allowed to redecorate had been public knowledge for weeks, discussed openly on online forums, in person and even on one of Wise Men Say’s own shows."

    If it's so true that it was common knowledge why was it first mentioned, on here, the day the photos emerged?

    That sums up everything that's wrong in our club, those that still stick up for what we have, are delusional.

    Exactly. Everyone says they knew about it for weeks but we'd have been discussing it on here if it was known that it was going to be redecorated with pro-Mag slogans.

    If we hadn't have, temporarily, taken down the pro-Sunderland stuff a bunch of drunken Mags would've ..

    ... sensible precaution I'd say.

    Precisely. I can believe that people might have heard that that was happening. But they're making stuff up after the fact if they heard that those signs were being put up.

    I think its more delusional to believe gossip on social media.

    It doesn't sum up anything. It used a lot of language that is designed to stir up distain towards the owner which in turn creates clicks on their website and podcast but doesn't contain any evidence to back up their claims.

    The only people that are delusional are WMS who continue to think they are the voice of the fans, when in reality they are a bunch of **** stirring nobodies who never offer up any actual suggestions, instead just spend their time making snide remarks and attempting to cause trouble.

    It was mentioned on rtg that the bcb was being decorated before Christmas.

    It's done now, kld has said there will be an investigation, all we can do is wait and see what that finds

    It's not delusional if lads on that podcast and others heard 2 weeks before Christmas were chatting about the madness of the black cats bar to be redecorated in mag colours then it becoming reality.

    That's literally reality and people knew well before it happened.

    But did it specifically say with pro-Mag stuff? Or just that it was being redecorated?

    People knew well before it was a club decision that the BCB would be changed to pro Newcastle to enable a 600 pound a ticket fee.

    It specifically said pro mag stuff.

    As usual though, the extreme views are the loudest and it's either a witch hunt against kld or he's innocent

    If WMS knew about the mag stuff being put up before Christmas yet didn't kick up a fuss then that makes them just as bad as whoever in the club also knew.

    Fair enough. Although part of me wonders if that was a negative assumption that coincidentally came true.

    But they didn't kick up and where dismissed.

    Which ever side of the fence you sit on, rhe whole game hasn't been handled well and lessons need to be learned

    It was one of those, that’s the rumour that they are being allowed to do it etc, everyone saying no way it’s bad enough with north stand etc and that the rumours are full of ****. If anyone heard that rightly so thinking it’s bull, but when it happened and those pics leaked it was like what the absolute ****, wasn’t rumours and was completely true

    They brought it up on their podcast and spoke about it saying it shouldn't happen.

    I mean it's not on a fanzine to prevent the club making ridiculous decisions.

    I don't usually agree with Chris at WMS at all. But the club and others knew well in advance of the BCB.

    Not really tbf.

    People are claiming it was a fact that B&W signs going up two weeks before Christmas was common knowledge. I'm not either extreme, just asking why, if it was so openly common knowledge, it wasn't common knowledge on a Sunderland forum like this.
