sleazy Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Quote Not really. The tyne is a barrier for North Shields, Tynemouth, Whitley Bay people following us because traditionally they've got to go right round the long way for easy access. Their counterparts south of the tyne simply head up river and over into the ground. Despite being closer in theory, nearly everyone south of the tyne can travel to newcastle easier and quicker. So what they really need would be some kinda tunnel that runs under the Tyne to link those places to the south..if only eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for the river that's notoriously just south of Newcastle, that's part of Newcastle's name, its identity, and part of its folk songs. In essence, the entire reason that it's even a city in the first place. That river that also runs south of areas, such as North Shields, TYNEmouth and Whitley Bay that are also notoriously north of that river, the river that divides those that are Geordies and those that aren't, those that support Newcastle and those that don't. Aye, if only that river that is the very reason that Newcastle exists wasn't there, everyone that would be there in that situation (about the population of Killingworth) would all support Sunderland.

TheHoob Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Strangest one is the bloke who talks about there not being other clubs north of Newcastle until you reach Scotland, south (apart from themselves) until you reach Yorkshire and west until you reach Carlisle. I'm guessing that he's not realised the same can be said for Sunderland if you switch round the North/South part? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading that thread it turns out we get smaller crowds than wigan. And as for the fucking ice age melting and leaving a valley for the tyne- if only it had been further south and the Romans might have settled there and built a wall. its a Geographical conspiracy marras.

bhoywhonder Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 That thread man, such desperation....the number of them blaming transport links! "Dad what football team do I support?" "Choose Sunderland of course, just like me and your Granda" "Erm....can I check the bus timetable first? And of course, 1992 when football began: Quote Newcastle have not suffered the humiliations and the dark days we have since 1992. I was in huge hope that in 2009 when Newcastle were relegated their dominance would be all over Ladies and gentleman, the world contradiction champion 2013.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 They're hilarious like. Are there any other sets of fans that are like this? Say for example, did Man City used to be as bad as they were before they got all the money? Were Spurs like this about Arsenal? There's something hilariously pathetic about some of their fans. It must be an absolute nightmare being a Sunderland fan that knows what they're talking about. RTG is like if this board was filled with those Buoycuottaz.

RTG is like if this board was filled with those Buoycuottaz. not really with City insofar as I can remember they mostly made jibes at Man Utd about being their support being from Manchester as opposed to Man Utd being from London (ie like every other football fan apart from Man Utd fans) and their attendance held up very well even in the 3rd tier.

PCW1983 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 There is a metro station directly opposite their land fill and they are still using the excuse of no public transport, i bet prior to the sunderland extension opening they envisaged one of their massive shifts in power. (ala Keane, O'Neill, their billionaire owner) Even with a metro station, people still realise the place is a shit hole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
