Tyne Tees News just now

[tynevalleyblackcat]

Anyway, I hope TTTV have to mention them as they surge up the table. They are playing some fantastic football this year and I am getting quite excited by what I have seen so far.

Gateshead fans are the ones who are not mags and their hard core hate the mags more than your average Sunderland fan does.

No issue with your original post, but I’m absolutely not having this ha

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Being south

Presumably they didn't mention York either? They're as much in the north east region as Harrogate are.

Being south of the Tees, both are clearly very much in the south of England

You might not but it's true. Their hard core hate the mags.

Genuinely pleased to hear it. But not more than your average Sunderland fan.

True Gateshead hate the mags. Lad I worked with despised them for the non-election vote handed down from his grandad.

 

[bigvic]

I’m not saying loyal Sunderland fans don’t come from Gateshead, I know loads from teams.

I am saying more chance of Newcastle fans going to watch Gateshead than Sunderland fans who would.

I know Gateshead has a loyal Sunderland following.

And the PR team didn’t help wishing the mags luck at Wembley, surely that should have pissed the heed die hard fans off?
[/QUOTE just like to see Gateshead do well

Yep, not doubting that. I was more questioning the fact the OP said they hate them more than the average Sunderland fan.

Meanwhile the team who is doing best of all in the non leagues, South Shields, doesn’t get any mention at all.

 

[Shandy drinker]

Gateshead playing some great stuff, always getting ignored been that way for years even ignored by the people of Gateshead.

Tyne tees is based in baldheed too
Defund the bbc

Williamson has gateshead playing great football. Think the pools loss was what they needed, had about 85% of the ball but did nowt and lost in the last minute, been scoring for fun since

He is

League below though

1931–32 Football League - Wikipedia

That shows Gateshead in a higher league position than Hartlepool have ever achieved. You can try and prove me wrong but best of luck mate....

That’s Gateshead AFC. It’s a massive reach that I’m not buying for the present club to claim a legacy connection to them. I’d allow you one at a pinch to Gateshead United, but their origins were in the South Shields club that existed alongside the old Gateshead AFC for about four decades in the middle of the last century so that just reinforces a separateness.

 

[KGC83]

The OP is absolutely trollied again I see

 

[Qwerty]

Mentioned todays football and put three results on the screen.

Apparently Middlesbrough won, Harrogate won and Hartlepool won. That's great.

Gateshead who are ahead of Hartlepool also won but were not mentioned nor listed on the screen?

They'll have forgotten Pools were relegated.

Also if you are going to claim that legacy that Gateshead is unambiguously the same club that finished 6th in Division 2 in 1922 as South Shields so you’re under claiming.

 

[SAFCOldie]

I might be wrong but this is low down in concerns, which likely suggests

 

[Fleagle]

They'll have forgotten Pools were relegated.

To be honest that’s most likely it. The same happened with Darlington back in the day until they actually went pop and ended up in the Northern League.

 

[TB22]

I have watched 4 games via the National League Streams (not been to a live game yet but normaly try and watch them away a few times a season) and they are playing some fantastic attacking football. They have the best goal difference of any team in the top 5 tiers of English football so far this season. Not worth a mention on ITV though.

Nobody said it was 'traumatic' but imagine if they missed Sunderland off the results and mentioned Harrogate, Carlisle and Pools?

It's amatuer stuff from them.

They hardly mentioned the England v Scotland match at the SOL and that was International news. Bunch of divs.

 

[JAZMAN2]

That's completely untrue. The Heed fans are the ones on Tyneside who see the bigger picture and do not support the Mags.

That's why I don't understand Sunderland fans who look down on or want Gateshead to lose. Gateshead fans are the ones who are not mags and their hard core hate the mags more than your average Sunderland fan does.

Yes. Good post.
Sensible Heed fans know it was Sunlun who supported them in their re-election year of 1960
Those north of the Tyne didn't support them

 

[safc9450]

You played today and won didn't you?

He's still in shock !

 

[ShieldsBlackCat2015]

League below though

I disagree. We are a League below the mags but I reckon we are doing better than they are given what we both have in to work with. You expect them to be in the Champions League and in the Premiership with the money they spend and the kind players they have. You don’t expect a team to be 4th in the Championship or anywhere near the top half with the money we spend and the kind of players we have. No team in this division or any for that matter should be so high up and winning with cheap, young and inexperienced players.

I wouldn’t swap their position for ours for anything.
