Whats it like to come from Tyneside and support the lads

[The Voice Of Reason]

i come from birtley which i suppose is tyneside, just.
mainly mags here but still quite a few follow the lads.

Marsden-7 miles from Roker Park but 11 miles from St James Park.
As a kid it was much easier getting to Sunderland than Newcastle. We had the Economic buses (now the E1, E2 & E6) but only the one Northern bus to Newcastle which took forever.

Alright I suppose. Could be worse.

There certainly is. Often see someone wearing a Sunlun shirt/jacket down what used to be Netto and the Fell Bank area.

What made you go with your grandad rather than anyone else? Amazingly I don't think i have any Newcastle fans in our family.
