Welcome Newcomers, and introductions

Welcome aboard, mate

So tell us, what's your thoughts about Craig Gordon?

 

24th November the new release isn't it? I always get that so I'll have a bit craic with you about it, at the time.

Welcome aboard

 

We've probably travelled together mate.

I used to get picked up, 70's & 80's, at Trowell services or the Mansfield exit ...

.... some absolutely mad times.

Welcome to and @major92

 

Welcome

 

Aye some cracking times those days - first away game was away to Oldham year or two after we won cup -1-1 draw our goal scored by billy hughes - few Man Utd in their end so a squad from our end ran over the pitch before kick off and went into paddock next to home end giving them stick all game - (remember Man U played mags same day 3-3 or 3-4 I think ) - anyway no looking back after my away game initiation - I was hooked big style

 

Welcome
Went to quite a few away matches in the 70s
With the segga lads

 

Aye mate everyone would like to be lot younger than we are now but wouldn’t swap those days

 

Welcome Mate. My dad was born and bred in Houghton as Well. Lived in Outram Street to be exact. Moved down South in 1939.. Enjoy the forum mate

 

Welcome Adam, are you in London Branch? Enjoy the forum mate.

 

Welcome mate and enjoy the forum

 

Hello mate, I'll definitely know you (stanley pirates)

 

Evening all, i've been posting here a while now and only just noticed this thread! Been following Sunderland since the late 70's courtesy of my and his dad before him. Being from Felling/Gateshead originally I was always outnumbered when it came to football arguments but overall there's a good number of Sunderland supporters in that area or there was when I was living there. I'm living in DH9 now and pleased to see there are lots more of us here and things aren't edgy as they are in NE10.

As it's been said already, this place is moderated brilliantly and WUMs and anyone looking to argue don't last long unlike over the road. I have dual accounts and still post over the road but can honestly say i'm not one of the main players on there by any stretch of the imagination. I spend more time on SMB than Pure Football.

Pleased to be here and been made very welcome by all.

 

Alright no need to make a mountain out of it

 

Very good

 

Alrighty everyone. Washy mackem been following SAFC for yonks. I once arranged our summer holiday around pre season tour of Devon. My wife was quite surprised when we got to Exeter at 2.30 on a Sat in time for a pint before kickoff. Had enough of currents owners, drove me to fall out of love with club. Stopped going in Jan 20, it was too stressful for me. Not long afterwards, everyone stopped going!

 

Welcome mate

 

Welcome mate from a fellow Washy

 

Welcome mate, hope you enjoy it.

I remember Peter Daniel well but, sadly, mainly for a terrible shout I made in the Fulwell End one night match.

He made a mess of a chance and the whole end went quiet. I shouted out 'That was desperate Daniel' and they booed me

 

Hello everyone.
Been on here for just over a year but hadn't noticed this thread until recently to introduce myself properly.
Joined to get a more balanced view rather than the extreme views on RTG.
Been supporting the lads since early 60s, initially from Bishop Middleham, Bishop Auckland then from Ferryhill (Martindale's where I was regularly picked-up on the M1 at the Loughborough roundabout.
My 3 sons have all been brought up right and have been season ticket holders at some point with the youngest still going home and away with the Trimdon lads.

 

Great pedigree mate, hits a few notes with me.
