I refer to myself beeing a proud Newcastle supporter, also known commonly for beeing a "Geordie". Beeing a Geordie for me, is not just about the place where you were born, but also the way you act among other people, especially people from Wearside. If you refer to them as a sad mackem bastard in person, then you should be able to call yourself (atleast) an adopted Geordie.
And im from Sweden, before anyone asks.
Being a Newcastle supporter since 1995, I have bled black&white for this team, cried after certain games and felt proud and overjoyed too when we're winning. Supporting this team means so much to me. Former girlfriends can vouch for that.
Unfortunately i have never had the chance or opportunity(sp?) (due to studies and economical reasons) to come visit you all in Newcastle, but hope to do it next year. I love this team.
Howay the lads!
