No doubt in my mind the MOST passionate supporters are from the North East. Can you imagine any club from the North West or London putting their fans through the constant 2hit both Sunderland and Newcastle fans have had to put up with. In the main these clubs are followed by glory seekers who jump on bandwagons. For us, its in our DNA..we have no choice. These big clubs are brands....SAFC and NUFC are still at the heart of our cities..I wouldn't have it any other way.
