  1. In about a week we should have a far better idea of exactly what's happening. We're rolling with 2 plans at present.
  2. This would be great, especially if some chants could get going alongside it. Like how the scarf waving at shearers testimonial lifted the singing I've come up with a new Lascelles song, which will hopefully take off when I sing it at the next home game. During winter we will promote the use of scarves and make an active attempt to get people waving them through the use of extended chanting. I'll discuss this with the group for you too Class, and well done you all, once again Thanks! FYI the Lascelles song is:
  3. Nee bother! It's the least we can do if we're asking people to donate their hard-earned...

  5. Sorry, I probably wasn't clear. The Rafa and Lascelles flags were professionally produced. The text banners ("this is Gallowgate," the Spanish ones and the ones from the Palace game) were all hand painted. As was the Back in Black (and White) one. The future plan is to produce more by hand and elements of this upcoming display will more than likely also be hand-painted but this will also depend on the funds we can generate. It's important that the quality is there for this particular display, but I feel that with recent displays bigger has been better even if the minor intricacies weren't perfect. Hope this clears it up a bit Love the pro banners, but you can't beat hand made efforts, I'd love to see more all around SJP. Loving the message type banners because they are actually using this to dispel myths about our club and team and us as fans. GF had more influence from TF members who had more to lose by pissing people off in the media and at the club previously. I think you'll see the group be a little more near the knuckle moving forward, particularly with regards to the shit in the media. We don't want to be seen as the voice of all fans, but we want to dispel absolutely horrendous shit that is spouted about NUFC by the ill-educated people in the media.
  6. That is the thought behind the singing section in Block V. The aim to have that as a section that displays the flags, stands and sings all game and creates a display / atmosphere throughout. This will hopefully grow, and hopefully will expand into a Safe Standing larger section. All very much in the long term view.
  7. We have ideas in place for what we want to produce and the more money the easier it is to achieve those designs professionally. However, excess money won't be wasted, and we may decide to hand paint what we can which will also lead to more displays / further flags being produced. I have just re-joined the WhatsApp group and I'm catching up again, so the above is my understanding. but nonetheless we aim to continue being entirely transparent in what we do, and all funding goes towards generating as big an atmosphere for each game. Once again I hope this provides some clarity Not looking for transparency mate, should have worded that better. Just thinking about my own donation, I'd donate more if it meant a bigger better display for example with even more flags and stuff for the Leicester match. Ah I get you mate, sorry. Aye, it's difficult for me to personally answer that at this stage if I'm honest. We're looking to go very big but we require the clubs' acceptance from both a financial and a H and S point of view. Finances and time are both going to define what we're capable of. As you can imagine we're just a group of normal lads and lasses, so our time is limited to produce stuff ourselves, and to have stuff professionally produced (or installed) obviously adds to cost. We also have to liaise with NUFC. Sorry if this sounds defensive? Just trying to shed some light on it, whilst not giving too much away. As you can imagine we (the group) are very ambitious...

  10. Thank you people! We hope to meet (and surpass expectations) and with your donations it will significantly help
  11. Good evening lads and lasses, As some of you may be aware, the Leicester City home game has now been re-arranged for live televised coverage at 17:30 on Saturday 9th December. This game will mark the 125th anniversary of Newcastle United and as you would (maybe?) expect, the club are making arrangements to celebrate this and make it somewhat more of a spectacle. Whilst we are aware of the club making plans of their own, we are also pushing to make our biggest and best display to date. Subsequently, we're now looking to generate funds for the latest round of flags, to ensure we do something innovative, creative and special, that will make the game that bit more memorable for all those watching from the stands and behind TV screens. Previously, a number of our flags were professionally made and whilst we have been doing our best to source the best value for money flags, we've been keen to utilise the funds more efficiently and thus we have begun to design and paint our own flags. This can be seen with the Back In Black (and White) flag and also the recent Benitez display. Therefore, if these have impressed, then hopefully we can surpass expectations with this next display. We're presently in the planning phase for this particular display, and subsequently, we're looking at ways of developing cash to aid us in the flag production, but the most obvious method (as with flags gone by) is to ask you, the fans to provide donations. Needless to say, your donations will be gratefully received as we simply couldn't have done what's been done this far without you. If you're keen to help then please feel free to donate at the below address: https://www.gofundme.com/funding-the-next-wor-flags-tifo
  12. Obviously there are players who clearly have been mercenary in Ashleys tenure too. But your Enriques, Givens and Cabayes even for me were good, solid, top drawer players who were probably shat on
  13. I'm a big fan of Shay Given like. Don't think he was a deserter at all. Don't really get this booing and hatred for players who fucked off from Ashley's NUFC. They've only done what we would do if we weren't so strongly attached to our club. Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk

    Kieron Dyer

    Kieron Dyer is a cunt and always has been. A better athlete than a footballer and was only dangerous for his pace. He was spoiled being managed by such a gentleman and successful gem of the beautiful game and should simply fuck off. Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk

    Are these damned for relegation yet? That result at the weekend would suggest they're gonna be down there like. Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk
  17. Love how Lascelles is blossoming under Rafa and genuinely believe he'll get his fair share of call ups the way he is going. Might even get to the world cup... Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk
  18. The one that arranged a walk out when there was already one planned by AshleyOut. I don't know the bloke but you get the impression that he doesn't like not being involved. I specifically called him out on this and had a somewhat heated email exchange about that walkout vs Cardiff. I remembered it upon crossing him again in GF but had put it behind me. Only to find new issues arose where yet again I lost faith in him. It's happened on 2 or 3 occasions and in the last debate I basically lost my rag and called him a tit... Just my experiences like. I'm sure many think I'm a tit too I think the group will need to utilise more man hours and cheaper methods as we had done recently if the TF lads have dipped out. That doesn't worry me too much though as on the whole I've loved the tifo style ones recently
