I was wondering over the weekend after the Tifo at the Wist Am game why our supporters have never had a song based around this at the match. The skunks have their blaydon races which is local to their area so why don’t we?

I’d love us to have a local Sunderland only song rather than the same generic rubbish churned out by every set of fans at every ground.

I may be wrong but I’ve never known us to have anything about this local legend and I’ve been going since the early 80’s

Thanks mate. I maybe need to give you all a bit more detail. So, I've been writing for this website-
www.footballheritage.co.uk
There are some well respected football writers and historians (and me) that contribute to it, so its a proper thing. I was talking to the lad that runs it about the Lambton Worm banner and explaining about its links to local folklore/heritage. He'd like to do a piece on the banner and would like to talk to the people responsible for it.

I wondered if anyone involved with RAWA or one of the SAFCSA branches might have any links to, or contacts at, the This is Wearside group.

Evening all, it's been a while since I've been on. Hope you're all well.

Does anyone know anyone from the This is Wearside group that did the Lambton Worm banner at the game on Saturday? I'd like to talk to them. Feel free to DM me, or whatever.
