STANDING ROOM ONLY!

[laddy]

On Saturday 23rd September, the day when Newcastle United are scheduled to play Manchester United at St James' Park, the Toon Ultras and Stretford End Flags, a Manchester United Fan Group will be Uniting in a bid to back the introduction of 'Safe Standing sections within British stadia. Below is a little information about the upcoming 'march' and 'display'.

The 'March'

The march will begin at O'Neills opposite Newcastle's Central Station, where the members of Toon Ultras and Stretford End Flags will meet at around 4:30. At O'Neills a number of leaflets are likely to be handed out to people as well as on route to the ground.

Whilst 'marching' to the ground both fan groups will be carrying banners with the phrase 'United We Stand' incorporated on them. It is being done in a protest against the reducing of allocations for away fans that stand, as well as the 'throwing out' of fans who stand at the game. It is also being done to put pressure on the governing bodies to introduce 'Safe-standing' areas like the sections created in Germany, which have become a huge success.

The Display

At the ground a few songs will be sang together and both sets of fans will remain 'United'. They will then part and go through their own individual turnstiles. However, just before kick off the same banners will be held up, and flags will be waved, in a hope that everyone will see our somewhat controversial display.

How You Can Help

We would like you to help us by standing up to be counted if you believe that safe-standing should be introduced, and join us in our bid to gain back some of the fun and atmosphere that has been stamped out by the authorities. Please feel free to join us in our 'protest' and go to O'Neills at 4:30 on matchday, and sing your hearts out for something you believe in. Alternatively, make your voices known within the ground by joining in with chants such as "Stand up if you love the toon" and "Stand up and support your team".

Toon Ultras

Supert tiltak, stemningen på SJP har blitt dårligere og dårligere de siste årene. Skal selv på kampen så jeg skal prøve å få med meg dette.
