Aye Houghton and Hetton has a small populous of scruffs walking about in mag tops. Doubt they attend any games but do prop up the bar on a Sunday watching them on Sky, usually in the same stinking top they have been crawling about in all week.

Aye but they will be bandwagon ones née doubt
Loads of mlf from Seaham
40000 at the match would suggest some households still contain a fair few!!incredibke support -9th biggest in the country I believe-I just think a lot of mlfs don’t feel the need to wear colours day in day out when not at the match

I can't speak for the others, but Jarra and Hebburn were never Sunderland strong holds. They've always been more NUFC than SAFC.

'Always been lots of mags in Durham City and over that way. When I was growing up, just assumed most people in County Durham, particularly, only a few miles away, followed Sunderland. Old enough to drink and got a surprise through Durham. Remember playing in the pool league at places such as Langley Park years back, seemed to be more in favour of them.

You may ask Mr Falcon, however as your profile on here is withhheld I have no indication of who you may or may not be,hence I can not divulge the initials of those worthy gentlemen.
You may however submit the imitials of those who you think you may recognise.
 
Feels inevitable really doesn't it. Them playing CL football or in Europe at the very least, the allure of signing the better players etc.

It's always hard to keep a balance with two local teams, but especially when one of them now has unlimited wealth.

No matter how bad things get, they will still sing about us and attend our away games.

Good point. Seems like there's a really strong urge to be seen amongst Newcastle fans, and just HOW MUCH they love their club. Proper ultras like.

I still don’t find Washington (Gateshead end of it) that Mackem mind. Boldon to Seaburn I can tell more, on a stretch you can walk in 15 mins

In Washington it all depends on where your family are from. People moved to Washington from surrounding areas, so why you get a mix.

It’s a proper mix. As it’s still mainly a New Town, you’ve had people move in from Sunderland and Newcastle/Gateshead. Since I moved back from London I’ve noticed a lot more mackem twangs in the Galleries!

😀 good question, I went with my dad till I was about 14 and then my mates for 40 years since then. I’ve never really thought about it, just wasn’t the thing to do. She’s not mobile enough now.

I live Lambton/Ayton way. Loads of Sunderland round here. My kids school seems much more SAFC than NUFC. All but about 2 or 3 in my sons class support us.
