Sunderland had an airport.

Back during WW2 there was a need for air cover to protect the mining, shipbuilding and shipping industries in the northeast so they asked newcastle if they'd mind having an aerodrome. They of course said no cos it would be dangerous and they didnt want to get hurt.

Sunderland of course stood up and said yes bring em on so the primary aerodrome became Usworth, leading to us knacking the germans at the expense of our city being one of the seven must heavily bombed of the war and a lot of what you see now, the scars of battle as it were.

Anyway, we won and the war ended then one time they tried landing a few jets on the airfield. The were of course loud as fuck so we weren't having that nonsense going on day and night, so a plan was hatched to fly em over newcastle. They weren't keen but we explained the nasty germans had gone now and some careful persuasion led them not only to accept our unwanted air traffic but actually boast about it for the next 60 years. Not bad.

Now I know how to retort.

The mags have..
As said countless times on here..seems pretty pathetic - sat in Newcastle airport atm (I know look at me etc.) But looking around there is as much Sunderland AFC/SOL mentions as there is that lot.
Have they really got that little to shout about that they resort to something that isnt even theirs? :oops::oops:

Lot of out of date information here.

It is owned by Copenhagen airport, the local authorities of which Sunderland were the largest % holders, sold it.

There was an airport in Sunderland, there has never been one in Newcastle.

The international airport North of Newcastle bears it's name, quite logically, but fans of NUFC who live in Newcastle no more 'have an aiport of their own' than fans of SAFC who live in Sunderland

Incorrect. Woolsington (where the airport is) is in Newcastle. It is not in
Ponteland as is often claimed on here. The boundary of Tyne & Wear and Northumberland is just after the airport where Ponteland starts.

I thought that too, but I was taking the piss out of the mag at work (before you start aye I actually do work with a mag ;)) about some shite, and he actually came out with 'at least we have an airport' and walked off.

As for being a pointless boast, from the above experience it's a boast that is kept under wraps until you have absolutely nothing left.

This mag at work gets a lot of airtime off you mind sneech. Sounds a right piece of work. If he actually exists that is! ;)

I have to spend 8 hours a day with the tedious little arse trumpet man, he's the epitome of the 'mackem' obsessed delusionary Ryder fanboy.

I've got plenty more tales for when the correct situations arise.

I'm always surprised at the scepticism over the mag at work carry on mind, surely a huge majority of us work in organisations that also employ our black and white brethren. This might be a bit hard to understand if you work largely by yourself doing something like say a heroic cyclist saving van driver or something ;)
 
I remember a fat geordie confronting a lad in a Sunderland top at the airport. He was waiting for his luggage at the time and the greasy skunk told him to get the fuck out of the airport as Mackems shouldn't be allowed to use it. The lad was quite slight and actually looked a bit timid but out of no where he nutted this lad, knocking him out on the conveyor belt. Everyone just watched in awe as this fat twat was dragged along the conveyor belt with both legs hanging off it. By his second pass he still hadn't come around and no one had gone to seek help. I got my luggage after that so never found out what happened to him, he might still be on there now.
 
We don't bang on about having an airport all I ever see or hear about it is on here or from Sunderland fans. let's get one thing straight it is a North East airport used by all of the North East folk not just divided football fans it just so happens to be in Newcastle (yes wools ingrown has an NE postcode). No big deal at all

Do you think Chelsea fans bang on about Heathrow the same way because it's closer to them than Arsenal or West Ham it's truly childish shit
