Takeover Rumours

Not open for further replies.

I've let my self be quite optimistic with all the take over news, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have that nagging voice in the back of my head telling me something is going to go wrong and that good things just don't happen to us.

Gone to VAR, mate...

Aye, the word mackem was used widely during the World War. Mags and bullshit go hand in hand.

All that tells you is that the grandfather was a bigger **** than his grandson..
 
Sort of OT slightly but Sunderland is the type of city that could benefit massively from regeneration if it's managed properly, there are passionate people pushing it and enthusiastic residents open to it.

The big benefit ex-industrial towns often have is that the land/property/rent is still affordable for "normal" (relatively speaking) people. That means is someone has an idea for a project or business they are more likely to be able to find a place to make it happen. Vaux #2 starting at a micro-brewery and growing into a large production brewery and brew-pub/tasting room over the next few years seems totally managble for example.

It also has a couple of advantages over other cities with a similar recent economic history. A gorgeous coastline, cultural heritage on the doorstep, expansive public transport, a university and of course the people.

Once you have a few things you become known for (here in Portland it was beer and music, and more recently that's expanded to include food, art, distilleries etc) it's about making people aware. A lot of people don't necessarily want to visit the places everyone has been to and are looking for the next undiscovered gem.

Not saying Sunderland will necessarily become that but the potential is there.
 
I joined the RAF in 78 and will always tell people I'm from Sunderland it's my town and will always be my town. When I come home seeing penshaw monument I know I'm home. It's my first my last my everything.
Good job the wife doesn't see these posts.
Yes I've had a few
I'm ex RAF mate, done 13 years and was always the same, looking for those lights off Penshaw Monument in the distance and that's when I knew I was home. Moved back 5 years ago with my wife who grew up in Wiltshire/Cotswolds area and without a doubt she would not move back down south, she absolutely loves it up here!
 
I think it says more of his grandad than the mackems. Who would want that wanker watching your back. Oh and :lol: :lol:
I’ve been saying it for years. It’s a genetic defect. The big sky pixie made a mistake and now they are all mags.

The irony is unreal.

Not all mags are the same, obviously, but I’d say 1 in every 2 I know or meet, are like this gonk.

it’s a crying shame our beachfront and riverside isn’t absolutely crawling with people visiting bars, restaurants and shops and that. So much unfilled potential.
