Well unsurprisingly, sale talk has gone quiet and some are questioning whether a sal will occur before the end of the season or not. It seems likely that Joe Kinnear and Mike Ashley could both be around until May. The boycoot issue is still going strongly though. The club store is being left out and home attendances are well down despite rising after the Hull match. Sports direct is obviously in trouble because Sunderland fans won’t shop there either because of us!

Hello Phil – interesting point, I’d forgotten about the boycott issue, must be really making an impact up there? How is the sale of the club progressing?

hi John! Yes you are right about the discount. Thankfully I hadn’t bought the kit until after the discount started. I might be a northern rock issue but most of us nufc fans think its about responding to the boycott of club merchandise because tickets are also cheap. It was £20 for the West Brom match! Usually the club store doesn’t put replicas on sale until the season is over! It sounds to us like the club is trying to win back financial support of fans because they are boycotting the club and sports direct.
