i think people who live further away are more loyal if nothing else, it's much harder for them to see SAFC live, yet many make hundred mile round trips, spending hundreds of pounds to do so, when i was younger i used to live in germany every time we came back to sunderland i would try to get to a match, but it's difficult. Also when you live away (abroad) it's nigh on impossible to find our matches being shown, i went to florida the year before last and found a bar that catered to north east fans over any other when the football was on which i found truely remarkable, that someone who lives thousands of miles away would open a pub and make it like a mecca for florida based fans (me and our lasses dad asked in the hotel reception if they knew anywhere that may be showing the match, expecting wholeheartedly to miss it. Immediatly as soon as we said sunderland he pointed us to this bar)

The (former) pit village I live in (Ollerton, Notts) has a large north-east expat population - a couple of the butchers now even make Pease Pudding !

I did a work stint in posh Henley on Thames and took some PP down for some of the local inhabitants to try. They just didnt get what all the fuss was about.

Southern heathens.

There's a couple of residents down there love pease pudding, I have relations there who take some back every time they are up here.

It still makes me laugh when they have a glass of water straight out of the tap and find it more palatable than the bottled stuff they have to buy down there. :)
 
i joined the royal navy in '79, i travelled all over the world and met some fantastic people, lots of lads on the ships and shore bases i served on were mackems and mags, one thing is for sure the banter was cracking, sometimes got slightly heated but never to the extent of knocking the **** out of each other, if any of us were in bother we always stepped in the help each other out.

i now live in london and everytime i am in the pub the locals come up to me and ask my opinion on sunderland and the goings on at ashley's circus, to which i give an unbiase view of course, everyone knows me as sunderland paul, i get to games in london with my london mates and i am accepted by their mates,

chris, just for you...you can take the lad out of sunderland but you can never take sunderland out of the lad

people from the north east be it a mackem or mag are liked where ever they go, unfortunately for you chris i fear this would not be the case,
