I'm a NE exile, so may be living in the past, but I believed the Town Moor is common land and available to the common man. I also felt sure drinking is allowed and remember having a great boozy day watching the Toy Dolls. How can they simply command people not to drink? The NE manages to close 25 miles of roads for a run through the streets every year ... ... this is absolutely disgraceful.
I’ve just looked to see if this is true because I thought you were taking the piss, but it actually is Who the f uck would support that bunch of muppets, if that was us I would hope the supporters would tell the owners to shove the event up their Saudi arseholes and nobody turn up, the crawling bastards.
This lad is a 24 carat nugget and regularly shows himself up ... ... but this is an absolute classic where he proves how lost he is. He manages to prove conclusively that Sportswashing works although the comments show it doesn't affect everyone.
Mags keep telling whoever will listen that they can't go to games cause you have to have a season ticket to get in and there's a waiting list to get one, so isn't it now ironic that there's now a waiting list to get into their celebration party even if you have a season ticket!
Is this the first ever parade/home coming that fans need a ticket to attend? Bad enough being shoved onto the Town Moor but to need a ticket!!!! What a club and the daft buggers just can't see it.
The dozy twats over there are not happy Their thread starts, Come and join the party/piss up didn’t take long for that to sink in I can see them all standing watching the match again with their glass of lemonade and a cucumber sandwich in the pissing down rain.
It's another example of ruining things by making them better. I genuinely feel sorry for the decent supporters. Those who've been 'waiting the longest' for a trophy are the least likely to be able to manage to attend as they're the oldest and least mobile. How can people in their 70's and 80's be expected to stand through hours of reruns, a DJ blasting out shyte with limited access to catering and a row of stinking plastic toilets swimming in piss.They don't want to watch the match again, or see how Forest and Chelsea made 9 changes, they want to see the trophy lifted up by the players. The stage will have front rows of the young lads who've elbowed their way to the front while those at the back won't get a look in. It seems it's being designed to look good on TV which it no doubt will ... ... if there's a VIP section they should be pelted with mud in my opinion. If it rains it'll give Look North the perfect chance to trot out 'Even driving rain couldn't keep the Toon Army from showing what incredible fans they are'. As if ordinary fans, from other clubs, wouldn't have bothered.
Everything they do is twisted as if other club's fans (especially us) are somehow inferior to them. When Sunderland fans stay away from games as a protest they are fickle, where as the Mags are staging a "boycoutt". When we got to the League cup final it was Mickey Mouse, when they get there it's like League winners, FA cup, World cup all rolled into one. They are also the only fans that like a famous number nine or a goal scoring centre forward, have passion etc. It is sycophantic nonsense but why?
As with many things it starts off with a hint of truth, then people start copycatting until they inevitably become a parody of themselves. When people start to ridiculously over-emphasise their accents, keep repeating the same catchphrases and seek out the cameras it quickly becomes fake and a bit sad. There's a Simpsons reference for almost every situation and there's a perfect one for the Mags at the moment ...
I'll take your word for it marra as I had to switch off as soon as it started. Not watching any Saudi sportswashing if I can.
At one time the mental institution of Bedlam was London's top tourist attraction where people would pay to observe the behaviour of the lunatics ... ... this is the modern equivalent Their forums, vlogs and blogs are sheer insanity but hilarious viewing. This lad begins by celebrating the plans by the club for 'a piss up the entire Geordie Nation can attend' before it dawns on him that it's basically invite only and Saudi rules apply so no alcohol or bacon sarnies. The comments absolutely decimate him but he's still grinning and punching the air at the end. Inevitably the Mags couldn't stop themselves coming onto this forum, even on Cup Final day ... ... I've not been on for years but I'll bet 100% that they're talking about Sunderland, this forum and probably me They're making a complete mess of all this aren't they, wanting the attention of the entire country who've now moved on to the Internationals, PL and CL. Their cup win is now in the past just like ours, who talks about Portsmouth's FA Cup win or Leicester's PL title any more ... ... I'm pleased for my Mag friends and family but it was a minor cup and not the earth shattering event some see it as. I doubt many could remember who won the cup last season or the season before.
The lad who posted it is a canny fella and a proper fan. Being going as long as I’ve been going to SAFC. He’s starting to realise the enormity of these people owning the club and the absolute **** show that goes either way it!
