I feel like we were sat behind the band.
Not been to the city hall since
Left an impression on me like as a pre-teen kid
The region lost a lot when we were made to decide if we were Geordies or 'the rest'. State of them now a wall around the Nashun would be a good idea like

We all called ourselves Geordies. Look at the footage of the 73 final.
My mate’s right into them & reckons there was no football association from their side. The mags might have adopted it.
Could have been the Animals. Or both. But one if the animals was a mackem
Really? I'm only 30 so I've never known anyone in Sunderland to call themselves Geordies.
I'll have to look at the 73 final. Never actually seen it.

Looking forward to this. Particularly as the focus will be on Alan Hulls song writing.

Just about everyone in the north east called themselves Geordies apart from a tiny few in Newcastle who called themselves Novocastrians. You would also get Northumbrians and Wearsiders. Makems or Mackems wasn't used. To my knowledge that began as a Tyneside term of abuse based on the Wearside speech of mak and tak, different to the Tyneside mek and tek, and Mak and Taks predated Makem. Others may have other explanations. Eventually you had the Fulwell end chanting of Geordies - Makems. The appropriation of Geordie for a native of Newcastle only was cultivated by John Hall era Skunks
Wherivvor ye gan ye're sure te find a Geordie
Wherivvor ye gan yer native tongue ye'll hear
In any place across the sea
It makes nee odds where it might be
Ye're sure to hear a Geordie say 'Wot Cheor'
From canny Newcassell, Sunderland and Gateshead
From Tyne and Wear ye'll meet them ivvorywhere
There's not a place that ye can name
But somebody wants the news from hyem
Whereivvor ye gan the Geordie will be there.
Alan Price was red and white but got involved at Fulham...

Is that plural? I thought most if not all the songs in their 'heyday' were written by Alan Hull?
