Hall was a Roker Park ST holder for years and wanted onto the SAFC board.
TC was Chairman of the Sunderland Conservative Party thus hated Hall and his politics. Hall was a Labour party member and worked for the NUM pensions dept, buying and selling land and property. Which is where he got the Metrocentre idea from, the NUM wanted nowt to do with it so he started up on his own.
Dougie Hall went to Thornhill and was one of only two mags there.
The other being a former Sunlun City centre pub manager who according to him converted a young Dougie by protecting him when he was being bullied. The bullying occurred before he was a mag so Dougies overegging his mag pudding by claiming any martyrdom.
The pub manager concerned once told me that when Dougie asked why he supported the mags he said "You dont really want to be like all this lot do you?". Thus Dougie was hooked.
Id hate to think of anyone taking as much money out of SAFC as the Halls did out of Newcastle.
