    alright , lads came across this in a post on Facebook
    Fans , saying that Steve Bruce is not a Geordie , because he was born in Corbridge .
    Thoughts , lads on that view , so if you are not born in Newcastle ,or grew up in Newcastle , does this mean that your not a Geordie then .

    I always thought you had to be born within the city walls,Geordies got the name from staying Loyal to King George while all the rest went with Robert the Bruce,but I go with anyone born in Newcastle and surrounding area and anyone supporting the Toon,I was born just off Diana St so am a proper Geordie me

    Born in Lytham St Annes - too posh to be a Geordie.

    My understanding is that born in Newcastle and you are a Novocastrian and a Geordie if born within one mile north of the River Tyne.
