You can if you're from tyneside regardless of who you support IMO, because they call them 'the toon' or the 'town' as I've heard before believe it or not, because the club are situated in what most tynesiders call the 'town', i.e. Newcastle city centre.

To people from Sunderland and the surrounding area. the 'town' is the centre of Sunderland.

Hope this clears it up.

Because that's what they want to be called.

No one calls anyone a nickname they made up for themselves.

It's like when you were at school and some loser says "hey everyone, from now on call me Dread." Nah mate, your names Peado Rick, now stop being such a nonce.
