The mags are claiming Durham CC now


What, the mags used to sing 'gannin alang the roker road, to see the sunlun aces'? I don't think so.

I never said that

I said sunderland fans copied the song off the mags which they did (which changed lyrics but ultimately it was nicked off the mags) and nowt was ever said about it.

suddenly durham singing it after all these years is getting non cricket fans and non attending fans wound up. bizarre

They didn't nick the song. They nicked the tune with different words. It puts a whole new slant on things. In no way is it like the cricketers singing Blaydon races. Daft comparison.
 
2009 the last time I heard it. Went on for ages after Cisse give us the lead at SJP in the 1-1 game
I've been going since 80s regular. Never heard the Blaydon Races sang other than the Sunderland Aces version. And that was way back.
Sang it many times, no problem with it mind canny enough song but it was a very popular away day song during my time going to away games, more the early 2000s
"Gannin along the Scotswood Road" version? Not denying your experience. I've just never ever heard that sang by Sunderland fans with 40 plus years of support under my belt....

Sunderland Aces version as I have said. Sang loads at away games. A song lifted off the mags
 
Can't believe this is still rumbling on, its really very simple.

If DCCC have sang this since minor county days then it's pre1992 so before football existed therefore its a neutral north east song with no direct relation to any sport except an actual race

Non attendees fake outrage. Quite funny really.

I hope the lads blast it out when we get the trophy in a few weeks time.

It was written in 1862 before DCCC, SAFC or the stinking mags even existed. Therefore as you say, a neutral north east song.
 
I was there n'all. Never heard it. Especially not going on for ages. Its not the type of song that goes on for ages. A couple of short blasts then that's it, or at least it was back in the 80's when I last heard it

You must be a bit deaf if you have heard it since the 80s? I only started going in 1996 and have heard it often until the late 00s

I don't think anyone is suggesting anything other than the sunderland aces version?

Not the Scotswood Road version.
Just saying.....
It's the same song. Jesus. Can pick a fight in a phone box.

When I first joined the smb some people used to do board raids to wind up posters on other random board. These days the smb'ers do board raids on their own boards.

Anyways, I'm off.

The mods don't seem to want to stop this rubbish, so see yers for a while.
 
Typical magpies; thieving vermin attracted to shiny things that don't belong to them, while gobbling down any morsel that's put in front of them and shitting all over.

The one positive for the feathery ones is they're very intellegent, probably more so than your average nufc mag.
Round of applause, Sir. Excellent work.
fuck the mags, fuck newcastle and fuck the saudis.
Chris Armin needs his hard drive checking.
His twitter feed is one screaming out for help and acceptance by someone.
Odd individual.

Lol. Calm down. Not sure what you are getting so angry about. Laughable tbh.
