The mags are claiming Durham CC now

[Pepe]

Bobby Robson will have opened the batting next and George Caulkin will be laying wreaths on the wicket.

As they've claimed the Angel, I'm surprised they've not tried to raise the Saudi flag on top of Penshaw Monument - as it best represents the last time they were taken seriously.

 

[Joe-B]

That lad is an absolute Doyle like

 

[Alfies Hat]

Knew there was a reason I never took to Durham CCC.
Lancashire for me.

 

[niallquinnsdisco]

They’ve been singing that a decent while to be fair mind.

Years and years and most of us ignore the perception of it. Of course the great sportswashed look at anything to justify their perceived importance when it's completely irrelevant

 

[Mackemansj1]

didnt we used to sing a version of it?

Roker road sang it since I started going.

 

[HABA87]

Loads of skunk tops at the cricket when I've been. And also in general around Chester.

That section of Toon fans scream to me of insecurity and a need for validation, Freud would have had a field day

 

[Frasmotic]

Don't bite man.

This. Trolling mags go on ignore for me like. Life's too short.

They sang it when they won their last 50 over trophy at Lord's on an overcast late September Saturday. I was a tad taken aback but Durham is Durham. Not mackem, not mag -Durham.

And Blaydon was in County Durham under the traditional county boundaries and indeed still is for Football, Rugby and Cricket governance.

A bunch of cricketers, hardly any of whom are from the local area, singing a song about a place in Durham (the DCCC players have sung for years by the way) is being used by one mag to try and prove something. The only thing it proves is that a single mag is a bit insecure and a bit thick.

Alway preferred Somerset.

Cricket shyte this Geordie love in nonsense

 

[Ilios]

This forum living in a dream world. Said for ages County Durham is majority mag, and chester le street is 90% mag. Got laughed at on here. Now the Durham cricket teams singing mag songs. One day people will realise that Durham is a mag stronghold.

I think I must have missed the publication of your extensive survey on the matter.

 

[vinegar hill]

I mentioned disgust at it a while back on the cricket thread and got shot down.
Whoever back then at the start of the club who endorsed this wanted shaggin.

 

[Tony Towers Fanclub]

As far as I am aware, Durham CCC's MLF contingent includes Matty Potts, Ben Raine, Chris Rushworth and Brydon Carse.

 

[Lionel Hutzz]

Couldn’t care less about cricket. One of the shittest sports out there. Football, rugby union , golf etc all have there appeal but can’t understand for the life of me why anyone watches sports like cricket and rugby league

Think it’s just people who are thick and can’t quite grasp the rules of the game who don’t like cricket

Probably the same type of bloke who thinks NUFC fans "have" an airport but SAFC fans don't.
