true faith – DON’T TALK TO THE SUN.

Yesterday we were contacted by The Sun, which is an alleged newspaper. 

Please see below for their e-mail to us and our response. 

True Faith will have absolutely nothing to do with The Sun and neither will any decent football supporter.
Don’t Buy The Sun
Justice For The 96
Don’t contact us again

Subject: WANTED: NEWCASTLE FANS WITH PRE-GAME RITUALS
Hi there,

I’m writing to you from The Sun Football team. We’re currently putting together a series of videos that focus on football fan’s pre-game superstitions – the stranger the better. Lucky pants, the same meal in the same cafe etc… At the moment we’re specifically looking for Newcastle United fans with pre-game rituals.
As a well known NCFC fanzine, I wondered if you, or any of your Newcastle supporting friends have any interesting superstitions you’d like to share?
We’re heading up to Newcastle this Friday (14th April) to start filming fans in the build up to the Leeds game.
The finished videos will be posted on The Sun Football Facebook page which currently has over 3 million likes. It will also be shared on the Talksport website.
If you think you know anyone that could help, or want to know more information,please get in contact. Either via email, or feel free to call me on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Any help would be really appreciated.
Many thanks,
Dan Rhodes

    Brilliant and a Big Thankyou, This rag has insulted the memory of 96 football fans tragically killed at a football match for over 25 years. The truth emerged with the public inquiry blaming South Yorkshire police. Not only did they do that, the rag a few years earlier insulted the Brave Miners that fought for their jobs. Never forget Hillsborough and never forget Orgreave. No Justice, No Peace!
