Very few people will actually admit to being from sunderland,if anyone ever asks I always say I am from Newcastle,its easier for them to geographically fix the place in their heads as its better known.

Most of Sunderland's support ain't from the City They from the banks of the river Wear to the shores or Sicily Safc Support traditionally from Sunderland ( which was in Co Durham) Durham Coalfields South Shields Gateshead and pre 92 all the north east were classed as Geordies . Stick around Munter I will give you a History lesson . Don't forget jarrow and hebburn max Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eastcoast 3,729 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I've just watched the NUFC game. Don't think that Blackburn will be exactly shitting their knickers at the prospect of playing us this Tuesday. The Makem thing is a strange one and has never been conclusively defined . The version that I like dates back to the days when the shipyards on the Wear and broad majestic Tyne shared contracts. The main build happened on the Wear and the final fit out was done on the Tyne. The Wear lads said "we makem, and you takem". Don't know if that's true or not but we both used to build the best ships in the world. Most SAFC people that I know are proud to be known as Makems, apart from the ones from Washington. They regard themselves as Geordies but are proud red and white. Strange people in Washington. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes it's to people from the south and sometimes from abroad. Once took a lass to Durham and she said to that "our" cathedral was the most beautiful building that she had ever seen. She was well travelled and born in Prague, they have some nice old piles over there. But Durham cathedral blew her way. She loved the Norman architecture. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
