David Icke - Son of God Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 There's a thread on the RTG site about free school tickets which confirms they are dishing them out as far north as Edinburgh. Is there no geographic limit to their desperation ? Have they completely lost any remaining dignity they had ? They've been practically forcing them and unsuspecting Chinese men and women at the university all season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKSC Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 The reason Bilbao play in Red and White is that they came to England to buy a set of kit. They were supposed to buy a set of Black and White stripes from Notts County but the deal couldn't be agreed and they ended up desperate so bought a set of Red and White ones on the way home, from Southampton.

Benwell Lad Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Bumped re Bilbao. Having watched Athletic versus Man U and Schalke recently I'd say red and white stripes are the only thing the two reams have in common. Not sure macums actually had anything to do with the origins of Athletic although the story about a shipyard worker lending them a set of R & W strips does have some credibility. I can think of no Spanish club more like Newcastle than Athletic and the two cities have a lot in common too. Proud people who embrace a regional identity, similar industrial backgrounds and stunning riverside centres - they even have a Millenium Bridge just like ours. Impressive city centres with great atmospheric bars and restaurants, stadiums with a central "cathedral" like feel and football clubs which are at the heart of the region and local culture. Athletic fans still talk very fondly of the games they played against NUFC. I'd struggle to think of any Spanish city which had anything in common with Sunderland, La Linea next to Gibraltar possibly as it has a rather "crimial frontier outpost" feel about it , but apart from that I think Albania may be a better place to compare it to.
