Imagine you’ve drank in there from one of the local estates for years as a Sunderland fan and that tit pops up with his gravy stained framed shirts.
Floaters Mill reopened yet again

I remember reading a news article online in the Northern Echo from March that the Floaters was one of 3 Marsdens pubs back up for sale .I walk or drive past it everyday and even at lunchtime it always seems dead……its only ever busy on sunny days like yesterday

Ta for the heads up Chris, I'll give it a wide berth.
On FB I noticed you were in The Dun Cow yesterday. What's that like now as I haven't been in there for a few years?

Cheers bud. I'll have a wander down with our mutts sometime, although not when it's to warm as our black greyhounds really suffer in the heatWe hadn't been for years either. Seemed alright. Nice enough beer garden, plenty tables, dog friendly. Mind the resident chihuahua is free to roam and antagonise everyone else's dog.
I'd gan back on a sunny day. Food coming out looked alright.

The place has all the facilities to be a great pub, the brewery hasn't helped any of the last ten landlords & they are trying to sell it, it's an absolute dump at the minute, I popped in for a pint to see what it was like under the new ownership, I couldn't have drank it any quicker than I did to get out!
Rather have a pint in the sewage works to honest.
Could be a great pub. Opens when they feel like and barcode tops on display. Took the family in last weekend and straight back out when I saw the mag shirts.
Dun cow is the best option in summer. We regularly go there with the kids.
I’ve recently moved to Hetton and when heading through that way surprised how many mags there are.
It’s the equivalent of having a Sunlun pub in say Wallsend and displaying colours. I won’t be spending money in the place and surprised they get off so lightly.
I’m from Shields originally and remember the likes of the Westoe and the Cyprus having bother and windows put out for being mag pubs.

Bloody hell. This was seen as decently smart pub 30 year ago when I was a young en.
And why would you potentially alienate some customers in a certain catchment area.
Idiot or arrogance. One of the two. Or both Bizzare behaviour.

The border of Durham. Durham mags, the worst kind!
Someone needs to get the bloke told to take the fuckers down.

Can't even decide how to spell their own village's name. Deserve everything they get
This is quite insightful. There’s actually a septic tank in the grounds which discharges to the beck. Hence the smell of
I’ve seen more and more mag shirts in the likes on fence houses when driving through.
No doubt they are scratters but they seem to be taking more and more liberties
I don’t condone any violence when it comes to football, but respect seems to have gone out the window.
Ironically, I know a fair few proper geordies who are long standing season card holders. There is mutual respect for Sunlun that seems to be lost with Durham / Wearside mags.

Aye they need a clip when taking the piss with it in Sunderland areas, otherwise it’ll get worse as they start getting successful

The last landlord who had it for any length of time was that fat lad who had it circa 95-2000ish. He was a bit of a tit, but it did ok.
I think he was a mag though.
It's had about 25 managers in the last two years.
I used to get in their regularly and I would have personally removed any mag shite from the wall.
Technically not Sunderland, about half a mile from the border.
