Very. Gives us a £20m+ head start on them for a kick off.

10k more than Sunderland (16,000) and Middlesbrough (14,000) combined then. Let there never be any doubt over who the only truely big club in the North East is.

I don't hate him. He's a good professional, just not a very good player. Rafa preferred Colback to him for the majority of the time in central midfield and as a right back he was hopelessly exposed when up against a decent winger. Fair enough, but I don't recall him ever really being beaten last season. Fulham at home. That's all I can remember off the top of my head, like. Wolves at home he was just as bad. There was also a match towards the end of the season when it looked like there was something wrong with him he was so bad. Preston maybe.

Surely a lot of these things I'm reading from that forum have to be Mags on a wind up!

If he helps them go up then he'll be worth it to them. You can say that about pretty much every team and every player down there. The fact that not a single PL club came in for him even on a free transfer shows how overrated he was on here. He'll be a reasonable signing for Leeds based the the fact that he's happy to play anywhere. How exactly do you know that no Premier League club came in for him? Because he wouldn't be languishing in the Championship otherwise. You're such a simpleton. I'm more Albert Einstein compared to you.

Getting him back on a free is a no brainer. I'd love to see how he'd get on under a proper manager.

Average Championship player. If they go up they'll need to replace him.

Sky moving our 2 longest trips of the season there.

It'll still be good in the corner. It's been canny in there since the 1980s so a couple of hundred moving out won't change things too much. There are a lot of people in the corner who don't sing and it's almost 100% season ticket holders in there as well so there's not much can be done to improve things. The Gallowgate Upper has far fewer season ticket holder and has a capacity of 4k as opposed to the 1,800 you can fit in the corner so what they're doing makes perfect sense tbh.

I'm staying in the corner. If this new singing section takes off I might move up there the season after.

That's what I was thinking although my 1st payment for next season comes out on Monday so I'm resigned to losing that regardless now.

The ironic thing about it all is that those who claim to be against abuse in football are the one's who dish the abuse and petty name calling out on here the most

I didn't realise the club were organising this. I thought it was a Gallowgate Flags initiative. Why would it matter who organised it? Because as I've said I'd rather Gallowgate Flags concentrated on football related displays in an attempt to improve the atmosphere at matches. But the point is, should we stop Collections for food banks? Gallowgate Flags don't do Food Bank collections so I'm not sure what point it is you're trying to make. Newcastle United doing food bank collections is a great initiative that benefits less fortunate people in the community. Gallowgate Flags were set up to try to improve the abysmal atmosphere at SJP.

Apparently he's a better manager than Rafa although I'm pretty sure Benitez came out better in the head to head last season.

I couldn't care less if truth be told.

There is no point in it, that is the point. Everyone is welcome at SJP these days, black, white, gay, straight, male, female etc. We don't need to start holding flags up to prove it. Those who attend see it for themselves. A gay person is the same as me, all except for their sexual preference. They are welcome at St James' Park and I don't need to wave a flag around to show that to draw attention to them. I think there's every point in displaying inclusiveness tbh. The subject matter isn't even necessarily relevant - but since we're discussing this subject: in this climate where homosexuality in football is very much unexposed and a fragile, emotive subject that negatively effects many people - I think it's a nice touch and worthy of its place among the rest of the flags. Suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. I'd rather Gallowgate Flags concentrated on football themed displays but can see your PoV. I've donated to Gallowgate Flags on several occasions but this isn't something I'd support.
