The lads/lasses at the Toon Ultras have decided to push for a new banner to be hung over the Leazes Corner balcony forever , until needs replaced due to wear and tear.

We have contacted the club to ask permission for them to allow us to do this , and are awaiting the reply. Obviously there is alot of advertisement boards around that area, but if I remember correctly , last season away fans were allowed to hang over the balcony .

We are hoping that this may be the first of many banners we could have along the balcony of level 7 , but feel a Bobby Robson one would be a fitting start , as the man is still alive to see it. A Joe Harvey and Jackie Milburn one has been discussed , aswell as Alan Shearer.

We have set up a topic on the TU forum asking for designs here are a couple the lads have come up with so far :

and

I am sure there are some people out there who could come up with some good designs , we are giving til 12:00 tomorrow to come up with the designs , and then will be putting it to a poll to see which one we will go for .

We will be looking for small donations from fans across the country , and maybe world as he is not only a football icon in Newcastle , he is a footballing icon across the globe.

We are hoping this will be done very swiftly , but obviously the design and order needs to be sorted first.

Just remember what this man done for our club ( no success ) but brought happy times back to SJP , and what he has done for football in general !!

If anybody is interested in helping out, wether that is by creating your own design or making a small donation then feel free to sign in to the message board and find out more information.
