healthyaddiction Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 The whole cathedral to be a city is an old thing and isn't true anymore, they have given out city status on a few occasions to cities without cathedrals. I think Preston is one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 In 1992, on the fortieth anniversary of the monarch's accession, it was announced that another town would be elevated to a city. An innovation on this occasion was that a competition was to be held, and communities would be required to submit applications. Sunderland was the successful applicant. bless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 But Liverpool have a capital L. At least Liverpool is a proper city. vs a Shitty ( note the capital.. meaning proper) Sunderland is the only city in the UK not to have a Cathedral Tramps I am quite certain this simply isn't true.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 cultured sunderland fans travelling afar :lol: I'll never forget the tramp wearing a sunderland top I came across on the King of Scandinavia, pinned down by DFDS staff, pissed as a fart screaming "I fucking hate paki's!"

bhoywhonder Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 more accurately.... They will literally say/believe anything to try and come across as better than us and not the slack jawed yokels the world totally ignores and is more or less completely oblivious to. This post though, I've often picked them up on their total lack of self awareness, but they just get worse.... I think they do also have a higher european profile due to mags almost obsessive love of replica teamwear (which I have as well as it happens). http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showpost.php?p=13765310&postcount=41 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
