Both were aired quite often. Always used to laugh at the half and half hats with "Sunderland Rangers/Celtic"
Even Celtic/Rangers stopped in the mid 80s. Never heard anyone shouting anything nice about geordies around that time
Pickies built good ships. When they joined with Sunderland shipbuilders it brought them down and finished the yards on the Wear. During the war Sunderland achievements were outstanding. However in more recent conflicts when ships were needed or in fact replacements, the Falklands, they were finished and the Tyne produced those ships. The fact is its all history now, there all sadly gone.
Yeah but sunderland had a great history in shipbuilding, Tyneside paled in comparison. Geordies are not famous for shipbuilding, Mackems are....hence the name
