Wiki's info on Sunderland

[shadowplay]

It's just Washy Mags refusing to admit they're from Sunderland again.

But what's at the centre of the centre?

Jackie white's is the cross hair dead centre of Sunderland I reckon

Nowt worse than a washy mag... Probs worse than real mags

 

[WHD]

Sunderland is a city at the centre of the City of Sunderland metropolitan borough.

What does that mean?

If it read "South Shields is a town at the centre of South Tyneside metropolitan borough", would you still be confused?

It is essentially the same thing, just the names are different.

Plenty of us MLFs in Newcastle as well mind

I'm lukewarm about the shower of shite at the minute.

East Herrington was part of Sunderland town. After the board inn heading towards the hill it was non-townie according to my nanna.

Dont start this shit, you will have everone in Ryhope and Silky up in arms about not coming from Sunderland

My Mam’s mate used to say she was from a village just outside of Sunderland called Silksworth.

The metropolitan borough includes Washington and Houghton-Le-Spring presumably.

This.

There's a sign as you come of the A1 at The Mill that says welcome to Sunderland.

 

[Gucci Massive]

I agree with that. Cut it off at the back wall of The Stables.

This. Past there is where you start to see Mag tops in abundance.

The metropolitan borough of Sunderland ceased to exist in 1992 when the entire metropolitan borough was made the city of Sunderland. So anywhere that was in the borough of Sunderland pre 1992 is now in the city of Sunderland - look at the signs as you enter Sunderland - none of them say borough - they all say city

Its not rocket science is it?

Whoever wrote the Wiki page should be shot with shit. Sunderland has continued to expand since the 1800s taking Monkwearmouth, then villages like Silky, Ryhope, Tunstall and South Hylton in the 60s. Washington, Hetton etc are just the latest expansion.

The confusion is the town of Sunderland and the city. It would be better if the name Bishopwearmouth was used and Sunderland being used for the city in its entirety.
