huss9 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 gonna be a killjoy but those plastic sheets for the display in the gallowgate against southampton were a disaster waiting to happen. lying around on the stairways after kick off - they were slippery as fuck and a few slight mishaps as people were losing their footing. it could have been much worse.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Daft question possibly, but is the Gallowgate actually ever known as the gallows? Just noticed it on the flags against Huddersfield, never really heard it before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 If the name of the stadium’s Leazes End originates from the ancient gathering of crops, the Gallowgate End has its roots in a much darker history. The “Gallows Hole” was a place of public execution in the vicinity of the current St James’ Park. There were grim spectacles. In 1650, 22 people - including 15 witches - were hanged in one day. And capital punishment was not confined to those who had taken another person’s life. In 1783, William Alexander was hanged for forging a bank note, and in 1786 Henry Jennings was executed for stealing horses. The last hanging took place in 1844, only three decades before the first ball was kicked at the site. For those of us who’ve spent many a grim afternoon standing - and sitting - at the Gallowgate End, spare a thought for Mark Sherwood of Blandford Street who had murdered his wife. The condemned man was taken by cart to the gallows, in front of the elegant Leazes Terrace, sitting on his coffin imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wor jackie Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hi lads and lasses, I see there's a link to the gofundme above, if you wouldn't mind it would be brilliant if you could hoy a few quid in to make this happen. The theme is to thank the whole squad and not just the gaffer but we're keeping the display a secret. If you want something for your hard earned money go to the online shop and buy some merch, every penny raised is put into flags and displays and is all accountable. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feinraf Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hi all, If anyone would like to donate to the flag displays you can do so in three ways: Buy merch Donate Or setup a direct debit: £5/month £10/month £20/month Thanks to everyone for their support so far, been absolutely incredible journey, we are the best fans in the world!

Heron Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Aye, don't wanna sound to much like we're pressuring but it'd be good for people to buy some merchandise and that way yous get something for your money. Alternatively, if donations could be made that'd be fantastic! We're not a fan of sharing our ideas before we do them as it loses some of the surprise factor but we aim to do a big display that really shows the team how proud we are. The lads thoroughly deserve it this year as virtually the whole squad has excelled itself. Obviously Rafa is the messiah but the players have done so much. My god I'm fucking buzzing.

wor jackie Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 It was terrifying, we thought we'd lost it a few times, it was quite calm everywhere else but the wind was canny strong in the middle. I know what you mean but honestly I love it,if it had just been hanging down straight I reckon it might have looked a bit boring. Cheers for buying stuff and for donating lads.
