There has been Geordie/Macum banter, fun etc. for 46 years that I know of. I can remember queing at St James\' Park to get in the Boys/OAP end for a shilling when they had police dog trials before the game and we used to get in for nowt if the pitch needed \"forking\" to drain exess water. Believe it or not, I\'ve spent ages forking the pitch alongside S/land fans in St James\' Park with their red & white stripes so the game can go ahead.
My remark wasn\'t aimed at anyone personally! It\'s just the NUFC/SAF (fun, banter or whatever) rivalry that has existed for as long as the clubs have and sea anglers ain\'t eva gonna change that!
Jonny mate, my Dad was from Burnopfield (not with us now) and a S/land fan all his life. I would never refer him to \"s\" unless it was just good fun then he\'d fill me in, in a friendly sort of way.
I respect all your comments lads and hope you understand that I meant it in fun without prejudice to anyone.
