Southerners still welcome in North East?


There's nothing "sketchy" about what I'm discussing or my doubts about coming back to the North East . Ironic that after you've openly admitted you haven't been there for 43 years. I was up two years a go on a work thing and on the way back grabbed a shit load of stuff from Maxim Brewery on way back. I'm soooooo put off heading back home.
Sorry you’ve lost me, I’m out
 
I'm a Sunderland supporter from South Shields living in Birmingham.

Lived outside the area all my adult life.

All I've had since coming on here today is HATRED.
Found this forum via SAFC.

Won't be recommending it to anybody in future.

no one hates you, calm down.

the issue is that there's lots of former, banned or current posters who create new accounts just to wind up the rest of the board. your account is new and the first thread you posted on is a tory/labour stoush on the politics board, so some posters have assumed you're one of those WUMs.
you probably could not have wished for a worse topic to kick off your SMB account if you had tried.

of course you could still be a WUM.

I'm perfectly calm. Whats a WUM?
Glad someone called it, the new member of yesterday seems to be fishing for an argument.
I'm came on here in good will. What are you on about?
I can only imagine this is a wind up because it's pretty embarrassing.
Quite.
Do you generally mix well with others and engage with people’s conversation or do you find people tend to walk away when you start talking to them ?

No
As someone who's even further south than you and have been here most of my life I'd say this place is in the overall very good. I've had advice on here from everything from new attractions for my kids in the North East for when I visit, goodwood festival of speed and even had advice on getting the snip.

Try not to take things to personal. 99% of the piss taking on here is good natured and not meant nasty.

As for the North East. Its friendlier than the south west I can assure you of that mate.
Only been South West once. Good times.

Unfortunately for you, as another poster has alluded to you ventured onto the politics forum too early. There is a little cabal over there absolutely seething over Brexit. They are like a shoal of piranhas. Any fresh meat sticks it toe in their murky waters then they will rip it apart. That’s what you suffered. I wouldn’t worry about it, stick around as this place is generally great and superb for information particularly for those of us who are no longer NE based. I would even hazard a guess that those who gave you a bit shit would even happily share s pint or two with you in real life. Stick around mate as this place has a really good reputation amongst football forums
 
A couple of times at the match I’ve had “you don’t even belong here” and “you’re not even from Sunderland so why are you even here”. Just ignore them, people are idiots.
 
probably more welcome on here than we are 'daaarn saarrth'

Lived down here for 13 year and mostly found people rather unpleasant compared to their Gods country brethren.

Constant belittlement that we come from a shithole, and are thick as whale spunk. Right up until they decide its cheaper to have 2 houses in Roker than one down south.

Wife (no) who is foreign even comments how rude people are from the south compared to when we visit Sunderland. And there is some canny people on here too.

I've just seen you were on the politics forum? aye don't go there, that's where the monsters live, Mostly.........
