Greg Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 It's a really shitty name like, may as well call it wor hoose as no one ever says wor hyem in the same context. Aye I'm a 43-year-old Geordie and I've never heard "Wor Hyem" from even the broadest of Geordies. "Gan hyem", "Wor hoose"...aye. I honestly can't say I've ever heard any Gerodie say wor hyem like, wor hoose, wor lass, wor city, wor kid etc. Call it Castle Flags No-one gives a s*** I know but how can you grow up in Newcastle and never have heard anyone say "wor lass" or "wor kid"? I don't think that's what he's saying.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but when have you ever heard "wor hyem"? You've probably said 'i'm gannin hyem' or somesuch but wor hyem makes no sense as no geordie has ever said that ever.

Think you've misread him like. Honest story though, when my parents lived in Inverness, the staff thought my mam was called Wallace because my dad always referred to her as wor lass.

Wilson Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just having a listen to TF podcast, to be honest, Alex comes across a lot better when speaking about it than Michael Martin does. Giving a lot of credit to Wor Hyem and the lads who helped with GF. Saying that it's grew to something bigger than them and they're stepping back. From about 30 mins on the latest podcast if anyone's interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just heard the podcast, I think changing the name would be a terrible idea. It's just becoming know. If new people are going to run it they should keep the name the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Makes no sense unless you just want to be petty. I suspect Alex is between a rock and a hard place to an extent although I don't know the lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papavasiliou Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 "Hyem" is one of those words I've heard all my life but never seen it written down. Doesn't matter how many times I see it I still hear it as 'Hi-em" in my head when I read it. I can't even imagine how daft and confusing it looks to someone not from the area. Can't wait to hear some yank comentator trying to pronounce it and explain what it means if they get a bit more popular. Mebbies run some clips of Bobby Thompson at half time and really confuse them.

Eddy Chibas Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 This - Gallowgate Banners, as suggested by another poster. Borrows heavily from the original "Gallowgate" theme, or concept, and it's a mere cosmetic alteration which still manages to p*ss all over the pettyness (?) over wanting to retire the name. Tyneside Flags is perhaps another alternative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
