Was hoping out of the top 3, Sheffield United wouldn’t be the ones to drop into the play offs. Haven’t watched them much but never been impressed when I have, the Mackems should’ve won with ease at Brammall Lane for example.

South Shields isn't big enough of an area to have been able to attract enough crowds and income to sustain staying in the league pyramid for any extended period of time. Gateshead is too close to Newcastle as well for it to have happened there either.

Outside of the big 3 clubs, only Hartlepool have really been able to have an extended stay within the League system, and ultimately they fell out of it twice. Darlington likewise, although I concede that their demise had other factors about it. Even Carlisle on the other side of the A69 have always been strugglers, and finally look set to leave the football league system.

There’s plenty of clubs with much smaller catchment areas who’ve stayed up.

 

A South Shields or Gateshead not surviving in the FL has at least made NUFC a bigger club, so I’m happy to take the positives.

Burnley is who I wanted in there - they look like a bastard of a side to beat at that level

No mate that’s very much a mackem thing instead of div’nt. I’ve noticed coastal types say ‘dairn’nt’ and have a softer lilt than Gateshead/Newcastle in general. You can tell a heed accent by the way they say have (hev). 

 

When I moved to N Shields from the mean streets of NE6 I was surprised by the NE29'ers using dain't instead of divn't

Agree. If Sheff Utd end up in the play offs then the Mackems are getting promoted IMO.

aye it's a giveaway, feels like loads of people have moved here from other local areas, such as myself, or a bit of the tynemouth overspill of people who have came up for uni and stayed here.
