I was born in 1995 and grew up in rural County Durham (Tow Law) and I went to school in Wolsingham and in my class in Primary School I was pretty much the only Sunderland fan in my year, full of mags who when they were winning used to give it the biggun constantly but when roles were reversed and I wound them up about it suddenly they weren't interested in football and I was "sad" for being into football so much:lol: Oddly, there was also a fair amount of plastic United/Liverpool fans. When I went to secondary school it got a bit better and it was around 40% SAFC 40% Skunks 20% Glory supporters.

I'd say overall it should be more Sunderland because I know a lot of people who moved to Weardale from Sunderland when they were bairns (myself included).

More red and white by a mile. The great unwashed occasionally crawl out of the woodwork and of course usually have full replica kits on, so are more conspicuous than the more cultured and classy Sunderland fans who are by far the majority.

Despite Sunderland being historically in County Durham, it is overall more black and white. Unfortunately.

see I have had pelters for saying this.
 
Darlo is more 'big mouth' Mags. The Sunderland are plentiful but keep themselves to themselves. Either way the town is dominated by Man Utd & Liverpool fans.
 
I get the metro from Newcastle to Sunderland for games and I was wondering on Saturday heading across for the Bus to West Brom, where does Sunderland/Mag territory start on the metro line?

Obviously I knew upto Gateshead is Mag territory and definitely from Stadium of Light is ours. But I haven't heard of the places in between really... Although Seaburn is really close to SOL so im guessing thats ours and Boldon too??

Considering the River Wear flows through a lot of Co. Durham, you'd hope it would be more Red and White

Theres a lot of Co Durham nearer Newcastle than Sunderland though. Plus those West Dirham woolybacks find it easier to get to Newcastle. Its their local big city whereas we arent.

I'd say Fellgate. Full of Sunderland in Jarra. The Brocka is Shields then East Boldon is atleast 75% sunderland. Even pelaw, heworth and felling has a good amount of sunderland.

Olivier Bernard is owner of durham city fc. Face facts, durham is f***ing mag territory

Their local big City is Durham funnily enough... Although most Derwentside Mags like to tell people Consett is in Newcastle or right next to it etc.
