Yet Durham is still a 95% Sunderland stronghold. More Sunderland season card holders from Durham than there is from Sunderland according to last survey done.
Are you from Durham mate? No way on earth is Durham a 95% scum stronghold, its as evenly split as it gets!
Walk around the city and you will see as many Toon shirts as clown outfits, go in any pub showing the matches on dodgy tv and there will be more nufc fans, infact most pubs show nufc matches ahead of scumderland.
There may be more scum fans from Durham than scumderland, thats not to say durham is full of scum fans, more that nobody from scumderland actually goes.
