Hard times at SAFC! I was in Sunderland on Friday. It was work related ok, not out of choice! Walking through The Bridges i noticed am empty shut down shop. It was the Sunderland Club Shop. There was a notice on the window saying "we regret etc . . . please go to other store located on . . . ." They obviously can no longer afford the rent on two shops now theyre on a Nationwide budget, and have had to close one down!
Re: Hard times at SAFC! In the Metrocentre today and guess what, that one has closed down as well, with the same notice up, I LMFAO when I saw it. They are down and are never coming back hahaha
z it's not just a poor football team - its generally not the best place to be - i'm a student here and Newcastle is a lot better for a lot of things
did anyone see on the news that the huge billboard advertising the new toon shirt in the middle of sunderland had been painted over?! someone painted the black stripes red, which doesnt surprise me really imagine the uproar if there was an advert for sunderlands new shirt outside st james's!
couldnt resist Ruth Knows off nufc.com about that advert In case you hadn't heard, Adidas have caused a bit of a stir on the banks of the wear by taking a prime site in the centre of mackemland and slapping an enormous poster on it, advertising our new home shirt. The black stripes on the shirts have now been covered over with red, but obviously the mackem painters didn't have a long enough ladder to do the sleeves, which remain black and white. In a gesture of solidarity, hundreds of sunderland fans rushed out to purchase new red and white tops from club shops... only to find out they'd closed down: angry mackems are now threatening to boycott new toon sponsors Northern Rock, whose share price rose substantially when news of this broke. But where will those irate mackem investors place their funds now we wonder...will they be opening accounts in the Nationwide?
