I'll be honest, when I started following Newcastle during the glory days they never showed the ground before the game which is why I had no fucking idea what Blaydon Races was. I laughed in the early 2000's when the three relegated teams had funny team badges posted on the internet which included the Sunderland ship broken in half and sinking. All that to say since I do not live in nor grew up in the northeast of England you Geordies press on. I'll follow your lead because you know.
