What the hell is durham cathedral doing on mag flag

[Buzzcock]

What's with the German gothic font ??

Wallsend Waffen SS ?

You're definitely the sort to put a little Geordie accent on in the city of Newcastle so that you feel like you fit in, you f***ing whalloper

He'll soond leyk wor Cheryl layin' tha accent on with a troowal.

As a born and bred pitmatic,let me tell you I’m from the county of Durham and from the city of Durham not the city of Sunderland or wearside
And your having a go at the flag
Durham,where Mackems’s come for their holidays

You’re officially a Wearsider

 

[Royston Vasey]

Probably the same reason a sunderland flag had the angel of the north on - fans from that area.

Incidentally, the mags were spitting feathers about that as well.

Geographically, the Angel of the North is closer to the Wear than the Tyne.

I've heard the next one is going to have the Corn Exchange in Leeds on it.

 

[the earl percy]

Cultural vultures ,is that Wearmouth colliery by any chance as well

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

Disappointing not to see Penshaw monument on the flag

 

[Buzzcock]

Disappointing not to see Penshaw monument on the flag

Or the Colosseum.

 

[Wearside Wanderer II]

Or the Colosseum.

Doummo cathedral is more their bag with it being in Milan and all that.

anyone else think it looks good?

Nope.

 

[Tadger]

Mmm maybe it is meant to represent where their support is drawn from.In the same way SAFC support extents beyond the Sunderland city boundaries,all over Co.Durham,S.Tyneside and further afield.Just a thought

That argument would hold more water if Mags didn’t have a history of appropriating whatever landmark is vaguely near Newcastle.

 

[Man About Town]

Durham mags are thick as pigshit

 

[Safc2014]

I don’t give a flying fuck about them. They can lay claim to the Wearmouth Bridge for all I care. Other than having a slightly bigger stadium they’ve got fuck all on us

They don’t own a stadium mate.

Durham Mag man


Reckon they should put York minster on that flag too.

 

[viccarlton]

anyone else think it looks good?

All rivalries set aside I can honestly and unequivocally say that I think it looks pathetic, but I have no doubt that it will have some appeal to our younger flag adoring fans.

 

[TeamOfTalents]

Should start calling ourselves the original Geordie team just to wind them up

 

[SirSidneyRuffDiamond]

Is that a cartoon magpie on it? Quite appropriate for the Cartoon Army.
Anyway, I thought magpies had black beaks?

A lot of Tyneside heartlands are in Co Durham.

This is the millennium window in Durham cathedral, it should depict County Durham scenes, but it looks like the Tyne bridge in one panel. You could argue it starts County Durham!

Nee one done an upgraded version featuring Toon classics like Greggs, horse punching and drunken Ant crashing his Mini yet ?

 

[CornedBeef]

Newcastle has never been anywhere near County Durham... it would be pushing credibility if it claimed Alnwick or Bamburgh castle but at least they are in Northumberland

Newcastle isn't in Northumberland either...
