    The reason I married my wife was her dad set us up on a date when we were travelling to the match from Stanley on Tommy Gillingham’s bus in 1966

    I get that. I just wanted to see the wider scope of things mate. That's all.

    You have your own opinion that's absolutely fine. I don't expect you to have a certain one. Was interested to see the scope of things on a wider scale.

    I don't think it will have anything to do with where your born , if you have the passion for the club it will depend on how you look at things personally.
    Believe me when you live and work where the smelly twats outnumber you 10 to 1 you hate them even more.
    Simple fact is when it comes to football you can't have a conversation or argument with them because their replies are just so uneducated and self indulgent.
    It's quite unbelievable that you can have a civil and educated conversation about anything else, but mention football and they morph into that little nonce they have on YouTube

    100% this. There are any amount who weren't born and bred in the City,and who don't live there,but live and die for the club, and who feel this Mag insult which has been thrown to us as much as anyone. People who spend huge amounts of time and money so they can see the lads.....many,every match....which puts hopping on a local bus an hour before kick off,and being home before the curry house opens, into a bit of perspective.
    @Prehab26 has succumbed to his emotions and lost the plot a little bit here.

    Not at all. Just find it an interesting topic given the nature of the derby.

    That's like me living in Northumberland Iain, although there are quite a few of us we are definitely outnumbered by the plastics who have never been to a game in their lives.

    Well,the main thrust of your argument that fans who are born and bred in the City will feel the insult more than those who aren't, has been soundly rejected.

    Some could view it that way. Some may not. Was interesting debate either way.

    I’m a born and bred Sunderland fan, do live away but I’m up there weekly with work. I think they’ve clearly made a right knacker of it but I think it’s quite funny and can’t abide all the drama. People could just have a rant then shrug it off and focus on genocidal sports washing.

    I'm a townie who's neither enraged and ain't happy about the situation.

    For people to be asking for the owner to be booted out is ludicrous.

    He's first owner since Murray who's trying to run the club the correct way. Living within our means and finally using the academy for what it's there for.
