davieG Posted 12 June 2009 Posted 12 June 2009 A pair of comedy road signs mocking Newcastle United's relegation from the Premier League have been unveiled by cheeky Sunderland supporters. One sign, on the A184, has an arrow pointing towards Tyneside and reads: "Sid James' Park, the biggest stadium in the 'Fizzy Pop' league'." The other, on the road to Sunderland, says: "The Stadium of Light, the North East's only Premier League stadium." A video of the stunt was posted on the video sharing website YouTube. The signs have been fixed to empty posts which used to bear official road signs. Last month, Newcastle owner Mike Ashley put the club up for sale after saying sorry to fans for the mistakes which cost them relegation to the Coca Cola Championship. He said: "It's been catastrophic for everybody. I've lost my money and made terrible decisions." Earlier this week, Sunderland supporters made scores of bogus bids for Newcastle United when the club asked for offers via email. Newcastle fan John Monaghan, 35, of Heaton, said: "They are entitled to laugh, after all, we laughed at them when they were relegated in 2003 and then again in 2006. "But it's hard to find anything very funny at the moment if you're a Newcastle fan."

Flynny Posted 12 June 2009 Posted 12 June 2009 I thought we'd renamed Nelson Mandela Park for a minute.
Big Ol' Bob Posted 12 June 2009 Posted 12 June 2009 Has anyone told that Sunderland fan putting the signs up he looks like a gay nazi?
Bert Posted 12 June 2009 Posted 12 June 2009 I love how Sunderland are doing this, when only two years back, they had the biggest stadium in the "Fizzy Pop League." What goes around comes around. It's still funny though.
