You could clearly see that was a tongue in cheek comment. Like I said. Technically I am a mackem. I was born in Sunderland. Brought up in Boldon Colliery. But I don't say hewla hewp, compewter or redchester (for register) other than that. I bleed red and white. Chill.

Ah so that's why they don't sing awa there. All miserable mackem folk 😉 people saying this and that. I remember a few seasons ago in South Stand when it first opened to home fans. The three lads behind me were from Durham, the two to the right were from gateshead, the two lads in front were from Northumberland. Either way. There's plenty from outside of sunderland who go to the games.

Don’t think anyone has disputed this it’s why the grounds are so high and it’s great. Interesting on Wms podcasts they have been saying that’s why maybe midweek crowds dip so low which is another spin on the debate. So less ppl travel in midweek from out of city. We are all one big family and I’ve never seen issues but clearly most ppl are from Sunderland.

I've been going to sunderland games for 20+ years. And can count on one hand how many issues I've had (having a geordie'ish accent etc. And you are right. One big family. Any red and whiter is a friend of mine.

They’ve always had more fans mate. Simple geography. North of Tyne is theirs, despite a few pockets of our fans in South East Northumberland in particular. That’s not saying we don’t have fans elsewhere north of the Tyne, as we do, all over in fact, just not in any numbers.

South of Tyne they have Gateshead by about 75/25 (and I might be being generous to us there), and I’d say South Tyneside was split. NW Durham probably 65/35 them, and Durham City and SW Durham I’d say 60/40 us.

The only areas we are dominant are Sunderland (the town) itself and East Durham. Other parts of the City of Sunderland I’d say 50/50 Washington (55/45 SAFC at a push), but more dominant for us in Houghton and Hetton (maybe 70/30 overall).

Therefore, the fact we haven’t been a kick in the arse off them for many years, despite having faced a lot more shit on the pitch, is testament to our supporters.

As a percentage of matchgoing fans to total support I think we’d win that contest easily, for what it’s worth.

Tbf there's a lot who think people in County Durham should support us and not the mags so it stands to reason that they should think the same of you being from Northumberland and supporting SAFC. Not something I agree with but at least they're not being hypocrites I suppose.

Disagree> They have more that jump on any available bandwagon, witnessed it in Consett when Keegan turned up the first time,take a look at the bad times and the crowds at both clubs, I was at Roker plenty of times with 11k though my black and white neighbour wasn't at Sid James when they were pulling in 7k. Nothing to do with catchment areas etc, all about loyality and SAFC win that competition hands down..just saying. PS I now live in Gosforth and we have a very healthy following here.
