As a proud born and bred County Durham lad Mon's I agree wholeheartedly and as a lad who has lived all his life in a wearside town (the mighty Wear runs right through the heart of my Chester le Street) I cant for the life of me understand anyone being a dirty craa from here. However, thats an individuals choice and as I have said, I'd welcome a Wallsend born and bred lad who was a die hard Sunderland fan, just as I'd shun a Hendon born lad who was a mag (2 unlikely scenarios I grant you but it makes my point).
