Fair play lad. Most SAFC fans don't mind Boro, hopefully you get promoted and there's another North East club in the league. SAFC and Boro fans have one thing in common - we both hate the Mags :)

In mining terminology, its also someone from Easington, Horden etc. With the likes of Wingate, Shotton, Thornley etc being known as "woolybacks". Thought you'd have known that one Hank lad.

Never heard that term applied to Easington despite living there for twenty odd years and spending over ten years at the colliery. Sorry.

And if boro aren't north east then neither is Darlo .

This nutter says he's from Grimsby though, clicked on his profile, talk about identity crisis.:D

An American living in Grimsby & supporting Boro. It doesn't really get much worse does it?

I've lived in the blackhall area all my life and never been accused of being a cod heed. As I said earlier that's a term usually associated with residents of the headland at Hartlepool as far as I know. I know there are other parts of the country that use it though.
 
Most of the North East of England is above the most southern point of Scotland. By your logic that would make us all Scottish. Regions are defined by the counties that they are made up of, not their gps co-ordinates.

Ask about mate, plenty of people used the codheed/woolyback terminology at the colliery. Is the boro thing aimed at me? I can't remember saying they weren't in the north east.
 
Yes I know I made an arse of the quote thingy again. Just saves someone else pointing it out. :oops:
