Nor, man.
I meant general you, not why you personally would go there.
Ah knaar why you're there, Geordie among your brethren
We'd probably disagree on the definition of 'vibrancy'. A load of blokes from Doncaster or some other place on a stag night is hardly 'vibrant'.
I doubt any of these kids coming from all four corners of England are leading the world into the coming enlightenment, or setting up shop as an artist in the bohemian quarter, or even having a conversation beyond: "canny tits, another beer?". Let's be honest, here, they're just transporting getting pissed in their local town to Newcastle; so it's just another group of blokes getting pissed among the local blokes getting pissed and paying over the odds for the privilege.
i work just about all of the main nights so i rarely go out as such myself. when i do it's usually for a specific reason with mates so the venue isn't always important unless it's an event.
when you've stood amongst 55,000 well oiled people sometimes it's the last thing you want to do on a night off.
as i said, it's mainly the supply of fresh faces that sets it apart, it's not all stag and hen parties.
i often get asked by very pretty girls if i'll take them out but i use the excuse that ive got to bait some mackems on the forum and even though they're disappointed they understand!!!

Give ower, man. You've gotta get some crack on ye before going round trying to wind people up
The supply of fresh faces?! Can just imagine you, mate: "canny night that, like, loads of fresh faces, had a few in from Pontefract the neet, momumental arseholes hoying the pool balls round the bar but fresh".

there is one thing that sets it apart as a parallel universe but it could probably be said about most places in similar circumstances:-
starting work at my usual time when there's been an all day event like "ladies day". driving through thousands of moshed people when you've just arrived from tranquil settings is an eye opener. i'd usually see the same thing develop over time but to see it as a snapshot is f**king mind boggling.
you get all sorts over there, not just pontefract!!
there was a group of 25 foreign fans at the tottenham 0-0 home game a year or so back. they'd all come over to see sessegnon and ended up sitting next to me. i got talking to them and they were staying in newcastle.
later that night i recognised the same bunch coming to the venue so i hid and told one of the lads to "punk" them.
it was funny to see their faces when, despite wearing no colours, they were knocked back for looking like sunderland fans with my mate saying he could tell they'd been to the match by their "mackem haircuts". like anyone would, they tried to deny it for a good while till i popped my head around the door. it was a good natured laugh and they ended up staying for 3/4 hours getting bladdered.
i'm pretty sure most of that lot were from paris(PSG) but you'd be surprised how many people make the pilgrimage to see their favourite players, it's staggering really. quite a few to see mignolet!!
anyway that's enough "tales from the darkside".

I left Shields at 21 and always drank in Newcastle (or Shields itself). The reason? Our accents were enough to turn heads in Sunderland pubs. To say we weren't made welcome is an understatement.
This thread has done nothing to change my opinion that things might be different nearly 30 years on.

Irony of all this is, we spend more time defending Sunderland than any of the people IN Sunderland.
WE are front line or behind enemy lines.....
Spot on.
He also said the Mags were better fans than us so we'll take his remarks with a pinch of salt.
Aye but Terry Fuckwitt you're an absolute cretenious dipshit who doesn't understand the concept of banter that the Mackems and Sandies have on here. You're a placka Mackem from Durham man you don't have a clue.
