"loads" lol, theres some safc fabs in northumberland from families that moved decades ago. its still atleast 95% mag there. Does not compare at all to Durham Mags and their huge numbers.

We were based at RAF Bruggen in Germany in the early 90's.

Ok
I can’t comment on Consett as I don’t know enough mags that live there
I’ve lived in Stanley all my life so I’d imagine met a lot more Stanley residing mags
Aey , there’s more of either support in towns & villages throughout the area that don’t attend games , it’s always been like that but your statement was incorrect , Stanley has always had more mags & there are a lot that have regularly gone & still go to games
Move on

Until past year, I worked in newcastle centre for 30 year , they look down their noses at anyone south of the Tyne , not just sunderland folk

It must be a hard life being a Durham Mag.
Despised by both Sunderland and also their fellow fans from North of the Tyne.
No wonder they over compensate by living in their replica kits and use a fake Newcastle accent. Bless them.

I'd have to one up you in those stakes and say Washington mags are worse.
Not only are they Mags, they're inbred. Most never leave roundabout city and believe any old shite that the bloke in the chip shop told them.

I get the upsurge inearest and new found respectability that comes with being TRCITW... but attracting all kinds of tourists and bandwagon dross must be pretty galling if you've stuck with them thru all the shite... and see all these new fans tagging along hoping you're the next big thing...pretty bollocks for diehardsBecause their main message board has a thread dedicated to this forum - so screenshots are shared daily.
Ironically, it's their most popular thread on their entire board, with over 28k posts. Obsessed, much?

Sums them up really.....Seriously? Ive seen a fair bit on twitter over the years whereby geordies (eg Shambles Travel) are slating people from Durham who support NUFC telling them they arent welcome
Aye, some of them fail to acknowledge they live in Sunderland too

I'd agree
Not even sure locals visit Durham city centre any longer except for passing through for work / education purposes
Whole place is decimated as a functioning city centre. Just a uni campus /minor tourist day out place
Suburbs are an odd mix of support. Head east through Gilesgate Moor, Belmont, Carville and it'll be mainly SAFC
North, Fram and Newton Hall a bit maggish
To the south, places like Bowburn and Coxhoe suddenly became infested in the 90s with the very worst kind of Durham mag
Western city outlying areas - god knows
Nothing to do with families moving, it's all to do with pit connections in the pit communities who had connections with the Durham mines.
Mind in the not majority areas, I'm not sure why any bar would pledge to a side, just stay neutral - it's not rocket science.
No it hasn't
