    At or to?

    At may not give the right impression, especially for our younger fans who take these things to heart easily :D

    Can we have the Police Dog displays at half time, dog would chase the baddie and grab his arm and the crowd would boo the filth, at least we did in the Roker end.

    Photographed him on the Daintree river North of Cairns, according to the locals he had gorged himself on a cow which had somehow got itself into the river, not immediately dangerous as he could not move to save himself if he wanted to, he was waiting for the high tide so he could float off the sandbank!
    Your crocs look a lot more scary!

    You probably did.
    Remember a bloke at work brought a spot the ball coupon in once. We found the original pic on the Internet so measured it out to the exact point of the centre of the ball.
    Not a thing.
    Read the rules and it said something like, in the opinion of our experts.
    They could have decided it went anywhere on the pic.

    I wonder if the club still has the results of that survey that was held to see what could improve the match day experience for the fans.

    How about a decent set of strips for next season, maybe voted for by the fans from a choice?

    As was done many years ago.

    I know this is a bit sad for a bloke in his 30’s to be worried about... but I’d love us to finally have a decent kit I’d prepare to buy for me and the kids! Hopefully KLD’s age will mean he will put more focus around this and care more about the look and feel of our shirt!

    Not sad at all. I've just hit 40 and still collect football tops. Its become a bit of an addiction. We haven't had a really good kit for years. It would be nice to have something really special for a change.

    The shirt is a powerful image mate, no idea why some people have a problem with adults buying one ...

    ... who knows, there may be a new shirt and badge next season.

    It would be interesting to know how that would go down. For international merchandising a badge that is simple and easily recognised is important. I like the symbolism in ours but it's overly complicated and looks like something from the 1930's.

    I agree the shirt can be a powerful image, and sometimes the simpler it is, the more powerful it can be.
    Think of the 70,s Liverpool, Leeds, Chelsea, shirts, very simple design, but iconic.
    A lot of modern shirt designs, and badges are way over elaborated, losing their identity in the name of fashion.

    This is my perfect Sunderland shirt....simple, recognisable and to me, powerful. It meant something.....it still does.

    I’m not against changing the badge. I’d be all for it. Is this you speculating mate or whispers you have heard?

    Personally I really like the current badge and wouldn't change it, but I realise it's not about what I want and if it was changed it'd only take me about a minute to get over it. I think most supporters wouldn't mind a new one from what I've seen.

    I like the badge too. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. I could cope with it being changed but I'd be absolutely against a change if it went along the lines of the corporatisation of the Juventus badge.

    FPP had endless studies regarding the academy, SOL/AOL, the pitch, shirts/badge etc ...

    ... perhaps KLD found the files on the club computer ;)

    What I wouldn't mind is an app for a smart TV. Having not been able to go to games, I've found its not that great getting a stream on. Yes you can use a fire stick or use the built in internet but an app would be far easier. It could include all previous matches, interviews and the podcast all in one place

    Can I add two things to the list?... the club website is dreadful and needs a massive update/redesign and secondly I’d love to see the spot lights on the top of the stadium fixed/switched back on, always felt they gave us a bit of an identity, bit like seeing Penshaw monument and knowing you’re nearly home or the echo football lit up on the side of their old office..
