    Wore a toon top in California in 2006 and someone yelled out 'Howay the Toon'. Turns out they were from Ouston and were also Newcastle fans haha

    Cheers :)

    To be fair my mind was made up very young, I have no memories pre-dating my support (my grandfather's brother recruited me a toddler). But I never felt the urge to follow the crowd and support the same team as my mates, however hard they tried to convert me.

    Another interesting thing to note regarding the mackem/geordie thing, it can depend on the situation. Bobby Robson for example, born and bred in sacristan and a true "Geordie" legend.

    When I was in Miami there was a shop actually selling toon tops. Couldn't believe it. It was back when we had ntl as our sponsor.

    Langley Park does ring a bell, think he was born in Sacriston and moved over. Same general area anyway

    I am unofficialy the most South Westerly Newcastle supporter in the UK

    and you cant judge support on where you live

    it might have an impact but living 700 miles away makes you no less of a supporter than if you live on NE1 4ST

    saying that theres a few people on here that think otherwise

    I swear every American I have ever met asks me whether Guernsey is near London. I think it is the only British city most of them have ever heard of. Geographically the vast majority of them seem to have zero knowledge outside of their own country.

    When I explain where Guernsey is I usually say it is in the Channel Islands along with Jersey, thinking that they will relate to that because of New Jersey. I am amazed that nearly all of them have no idea where Jersey is, even the ones who are from there. How could you live in some place called New Jersey or New York and not be interested enough to find out where the place you home is named after is? Strange people those Americans!
