Geordies live on the North or South Bank of the Tyne. The north will always be Northumberland and the South Co Durham. I have a lot of marras who are happy to be Geordies who are MLF’s. It was the former Sunderland supporter John Hall who in need to rally support amongst the gullible came out with this Geordie Nation bollocks
100% this, geordie were the miners of the NE. Not gravy stained novocastrians.That definition is probably something which only emerged after the John Hall era.
I think the most accurate definition is anyone from the Northumberland or Durham coalfields.

Indeed - can remember chanting “Geordie Aggro” in the Fulwell when it kicked off on the pitch in the mid 80s.Everyone up he was until those lot turned into monumental bellends
Evidently.I don't think I've ever cared about anything less.
Equally Ha'way was used in Newcastle. Miners riding up and down mine shafts shouting half way seems to be the accepted derivation, which became ha'way from half way not holf way and ho'way. The geordie bloke in Alan Partridge (think he is from Carlisle and just does the voice) he says ha'way and only seems to be the association with us and the Northumbrian wooly backs who changed it to ho'way. Anybody outside of the NE struggles to tell the difference, a lot of "cockneys" are from the SE but get lumped in with that there London in the same way.Indeed - can remember chanting “Geordie Aggro” in the Fulwell when it kicked off on the pitch in the mid 80s.
