Any Sunderland strongholds left ?


Far more Geordies support Sunderland than mackems support toon. Geordies in the Tyneside /general north east thing with that accent , like mine from shields etc
I have never thought of it that way but you are right!...it might change for the worse in the next 20 years or so unless you geordie safc supporting lot disown your errant offspring if they are lured to the dark side!In truth football is nearing a crossroads in the next few years as money always wins out in the end and i think this super league stuff will destroy the professional game eventually.The Fa and the fans will try to hold on to the traditions that made the game great in this country but i fear its a losing battle as its a global TV game with less say for individual countries and its simply a matter of when not if the mighty heed loppers play the pyongyang tigers in a made up derby for TV and who would not want to watch that.
 
I booked a cottage in the lake s this summer and the owner who was a farmer has lived there for 65years. Turns out he was born in pennywell and moved up there originally as a farm hand.

Told him where I was from and he just couldn’t believe the amount of Durham mags
