Don't they realise promoting the North East no matter if its Fender or that Roker film company benefits all of us 

I wouldn't argue with that, but their inferiority complex about all things Newcastle, is what matters to them

Sunderland in the EPL will mean that all of their boxes will be sold, no fucka watching the football but loads of deals getting sorted, I know a few companies that will have boxes at both grounds 

[OpenC]

Futureheads and Kenickie were both fucking class like, the Better At The Music argument is a dismal one. Plenty to be proud of from both areas and all the acts that made it big from either city will have served their time in both of them

Not everyone's cup of tea (I only like two or three songs also), but he had talent and was also responsible for quite a few associations and song writing for other artists

 

Fucking awful music.

Pity about Lennox and Faye Tozer as well actually, would've shagged either of them in their prime but they both ended up reeking of fucking mackem.

Yeah the corporate area will definitely be a winner. Plenty of corporate people will be wanting to watch the top teams.
 

It seems though that to get to the next stage (they will be sold out with their current corporates now due to what I mentioned above) and to have more corporate than currently, then they have to expand their ground. Not going to happen this season, and it will be also totally reliant on them staying in the premier league for more than one season. 
 

I can't see their current owner moving from his current model, unless he gets major investment or sells the club. I'm far from convinced that will happen, with our ownership being just down the road and making it a massive disadvantage in trying to compete

It wasn't about the level of the music talent, I was just highlighting that the post I quoted, stupidly didn't mention a large number of artists from or around the Newcastle area.

Fieldmusic as well.

Yes but here’s me, a gravy stained mag, able to appreciate the Fewchtaheads (one of my mates roomed with them btw) and hold no bitterness towards them. Much like Maximo park being smoggies. Good music is good music, regardless of allegiances. However those bitter cunts can’t see past it.

Wasn't a Newcastle fan until the takeover, and yet here he is meeting his boyhood hero Alan Shearer in 2019, years before the takeover

 

 

 

BBC Introducing NE played some clips yesterday including an interview on BBC Breakfast the day after the takeover, and he was saying he was massively hung over as he and Johnny went down to the ground (where Johnny got his sax out on the statue) and someone gave him a load of CANS. He must have turned into a super fan quick.

 

Edit: this was the interview they played:

Their fewm is that he is a rising star and not just in the UK. Mega star no and he probably won't be either.
 

The fact that he is a Geordie and a Newcastle fan, and he wants to promote that fact around the country (and the world), is absolutely making their fan base show an anger, which is even beyond their usual level of all things Newcastle related. 
 

If he was from the Sunderland area and a Sunderland fan, then they would be celebrating him as a massive lads fan () and that his music was out of this world.

The fact that one musician has outraged an entire fan base (or just about) is so funny to witness. Multi page threads, whenever he has a new single or a new tour, spouting their anger and hate. Any of their fans posting stating they attended a concert and enjoyed it, is followed by a mass heretic demonstration against a fellow supporter.

Are Maximo Park Smoggies ? Paul Smith is from Billingham but Duncan Lloyd (founder) is from Derby, however the band were formed in Newcastle. 

[GallowgatePigeon]

Could it be that they hate Sam Fender so much cause he's synonymous with their biggest insecurity?

That insecurity being that everybody outside the North East associates the region with geet canny Geordies decked in black and white.

As a city and as a club we have our own distinct culture that is well known outside the region. How many southerners could tell you about geordie slang, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, stotties, Gazza, Sam Fender, Brown Ale vs. .......erm......Vaux?........the Nissan plant?

I suppose publishing the Mackem Cewkbewk is a good start.

 

But yeah, it goes some way to explaining their bitterness, the inferior half of the rivalry more often than not hates the better side more than the other way round.

As much as most of us want their skidmark of a club to perish into the ether where it belongs, I get the feeling that a lot of us don't actually take them that seriously and they're more of a laughing stock than a rival whereas we embody everything they hate and our very existence tortures their cold, black souls.

Nothing they can ever do, even winning 6 in a row against us, is ever going to change the fact that they are, always have been and always will be nothing .

Just presumed they were due to Paul’s accent. Know they reference Newcastle a lot. Did they meet at uni here?

They always had a boro connection to me. IIRC Paul Smith supports Boro

I like Sam Fender but I can’t think of many artists that connect with a club so much I know Ed Sheeran has a huge connection with Ipswich and the oasis - Man City. He wears the kit on stage, comes out to local hero, had his name on our Carabao cup, his merch is largely nufc themed and he even gets a lot of support from Wor Flags and I think that’s what rattles the Mackems so much

I mean you have literally just mentioned 2 of them there.

Ed Sheeran has sponsored Ipswich’s shirt at a time when they were struggling to attract a sponsor and bring in money. He’s even bought a minority stake in them, and is shown watching them on TV camera’s anytime they are on TV. In saying that, my old uni flatmate who’s from Norwich will tell you that before he became famous he would play gigs and Norwich Uni’s campus wearing a Norwich shirt.

 

The Gallagher brothers are very intertwined with Man City, heck Noel has designed a shirt for them.

I don't think so. Smith had left Newcastle uni before joining and I've no idea of the backgrounds of other members.

 

We'd maybe see Dire Straits (formed in Sarf Lahndan) as an East Midlands band had John Illesley wrote the lyrics ?

The same reason they think that anyone younger than 35 that wasn't born before Keegan and the premier league came along are basically plastic mags unless you were born within a mile of SJP. They absolutely despise Durham mags with a passion as well or anyone else they perceive to be jumping on the Newcastle bandwagon despite us literally winning nothing for years and having very little success in that time .

Makem nonsense aside, up until 1993 Princess Mary’s (couple of hundred yards away from Exhibition Park) was the busiest maternity hospital in Tyneside with thousands of births per year (mothers mainly from Newcastle and Gateshead though further afield as well). If you’ve ever done the SJP rooftop tour, you can see the site of the hospital and the RVI, obviously, which took over maternity services. Both are within a mile of the ground. You can also see the QE in Gateshead about three miles away and probably other maternity hospitals. So there must be a fair percentage of the fanbase who were born within a mile, or sight, of the ground particularly pre 1993.

"Although he is from North Tyneside"

 

Are they really sticking with the marrative that unless you were born and raised in Leazes Park or Chinatown, you have no right to claim Newcastle as your local team. Sam Fender is a gloryhunting 92er who should be promoting North Shields or Whitley Bay at his gigs and not the mags who are a massive 20 minutes on the Metro away!

 

So let me see if I've got this correct:

Newcastle fan from North Shields: Bad

Sunderland fans from outside Sunderland city boundaires: Evidence of Sunlun's worldwide appeyel

 

P.S. Sam Fender has done really well to have made it this far despite being boycotted by SGM

Yeah I’ve said it before that they kick off about people from North Shields being Newcastle fans, despite North Shields being a Newcastle suburb. They also at the same time expect everyone in Spennymoor to be Sunderland fans. They also kick off at anyone in Durham who isn’t a Sunderland fan.

For the record ladies and gentlemen, Durham is further away down the A190 from Sunderland, than North Shields is from Newcastle via the A1058.
