    They need to build a city of culture first !, for footballers and their wives, a few Gucci shops for a start. This City needs to spend big to attract world class footballers/outsiders i mean Ronaldo is always in and out of poundland hehe, but first we have to get back to the big time and enter Mick mcarthy please.

    Agree with leaving Sunderland - I'm Sunderland born and bred but Washington needs its own UDC - put a good word in for us now you are back in Gods Country :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Hull won it on merit. Just because you didn't take the time to look doesn't mean our only culture is bacterial.

    I hope Sunderland wins the City of Culture, its a great City.

    Unfortunately for me I've been to Hull many times and I've never seen anything that could be described as cultured. Sorry but the place is a dump.

    I've heard that said about Sunderland many times - may be the City of Culture accolade is to enable financial support to build up the City - bit like the Olympics built up East End of London (and now killing WHU - :emoticon-0149-no:)
    I think we have a canny chance of getting it tbh . Could even be on our premiership return :emoticon-0148-yes::emoticon-0148-yes:

    My Dad lived in a street called Sandringham Terrace from his birth till he was 20 in Bishop Auckland - because of that, we always used to walk down Sandringham Terrace on the way to the match! Just a little superstition we had back in the day - so yes - I know where it is

    Some people may drive round Hendon and think its a dump without realising its cultural significance to Sunderland, Hull and England.

    I know I lived there for 3 years. Its also the birthplace of one of the greatest footballers England has seen. Bit before my time unfortunately.
