This is disappointing for the north east as a whole

 

True, once both their TravelTaverns are full and now that Lizzy at the Roker Paradiso Bed & Breakfast had her stroke, they'd be out of hotel rooms. Any tourists coming to the region looking for culture would've had to stay at a real hotel, like the Crowne Plaza or Malmaison, spending their dosh in a real city of culture, like Newcastle.

 

Such a shame they didn't get it. Such an absolute shame. Well done for trying sunderland, you did us all proud *pat pat*. Now get back to your public defecation and racism, stick to what you know.

A lot of Newcastle fans will work in the Sunderland area and would have benifitted from the higer profile of Sunderland.

 

I don't see how tbh. People aren't going to come to Sunderland because some committee said it's the capital of culture this year, beating the likes of Stoke and Swansea. There is nothing there a medium sized town can't offer and probably do a lot better due to location.

 

It also seems like they are forever trying to win this and failing, surely it's costing a lot of money which could ha e been spent elsewhere. Again just like their football fans they are desperate for some recognition from outsiders, that they matter, that they focus on this rather than actually trying to create new culture and win it by simply making a difference to the UK.

Coventry :lol:

 

Couldn’t have went any better.

 

Sweet.

 

I was kind of hoping they'd win, as it would have be good for Newcastle.....but then I remembered the utter jubilation on RTG when we lost the City of Culture bid to Liverpool.

 

More karma.

 

I had forgotten about that!
