I think you're gonna have to put up with it - small price to pay, after all you're in the best seats in the house. Plus during the winter months, after consuming your foie gras washed down with a Dom Perignon '64, you'll still be able to whack on the old blue and white hat n scarf wont you? I'll be in the tier above, wearing my TOFF's retro 70's BHA white away kit (100% cotton), which I've had for the last four years and is looking a bit worn - certainly not smart enough for the 1901 ers gang.
Think we may need to be careful with regard to 1901 envy or status; some people, including myself, had a choice between a box, 1901 and a standard season ticket and went for the most suitable for their current circumstances. With two small boys I went for an exciting pitch side experience. There is no envy but a growing concern that there are some who feel they are better than others because of ONE spending choice in their life.
Can you file that alongside "NSC envy (banned for being a cock)"?
More concise than my reply Bozza!

Slightly bizarre. I asked the question about the stripes at my presentation and was told you definitely would be allowed to wear them. Frankly I'm of an age wear I wouldn't wear them now anyway but are they really going to ban my son if he turns up in them
And as someone else has said the terms and conditions do not ban them only away colours.

I was told this too ( as per Giraffe ). Again it doesn't affect me personally (don't wear colours). Although I do like a decent pair of trainers on when I go to games (banned too!!).
A disgrace?
'Ordinary fans' who have a problem with the rules, shouldn't have signed up for business/corporate seats.

You might joke about it, but I can recall an NSC sponsored game at Withdean where we were asked by Martin Perry to keep the noise down in the North Stand.

Banned
I'm picturing the scene when some corporate come lately bloke turns up with his two sons, visits the stadium shop, forks out 90 quid for a shirt for them each and then is barred from entering the ground!!!!
All joking aside oh long necked one, with everthing considered, if you knew then what you do now, would you have still gone down your chosen route?

I was told no stripes at my presentation.
But, the licensing agreement states only away colours are banned.
Another section also states that the license agreement rules hold and supersede any previous written or oral presentations. So, it's irrelevant what has previously been said, as the agreement now holds and this is quite clear on this issue.

Yes I would. Reasons for me getting 1901 were best view in ground, car parking space, and a bit of comfort for my dad on his old age. Nothing has changed from that. However I can see us moving back to a traditional season ticket, possibly in the upper East in the next five years when possibly my dad won't be going anymore.

That was the game where the directors of Sunderland FC, in the seats immediately behind us, congratulated us on our passionate support for the team. It helped, of course, that we stuffed them 2-1, despite playing the last hour with ten men. They were third in the Championship at the time. We were 18th. They finished as champions, we finished 20th (and would have been relegated if it hadn't have been for the three points that NSC won with that show of passion on that day).

... and here's a picture of the stripes being worn in hospitality, post-Sunderland. The ones who look WRECKED will no doubt claim they'd been playing in a football match earlier.

Thanks for all the comments it's good reading. I for one have made a leap of faith regarding the expense of a 1901 seat. I’m no way a corporate player, more a Stella and Curry merchant. I brought it because I very much want to experience the whole thing and felt the need to invest in it long term, also had a spare bag of sand. I wouldn’t let it detract from the enjoyment of the whole experience but I’ve always worn a shirt and have always been proud to do so.
It’s a dam shame though that the shirt our team plays in isn’t good enough for parts of our new home!
c'est la vie!

Are you saying they are banned then?

Good point. Because under current licence terms they are not specifically banned. But the club will probably do a mailshot altering the terms at some stage before the season starts.
