Question for all non born Geordie followers

I think this is especially true if the teams you are supporting are both located in the same country. Then it must be tough. Having two (or more) teams to support generally speaking, however, can quite easily be done.

I know that many Glaswegians, for instance, support either Celtic or Rangers and then also have a team in England that they follow/support.

It's the same here. Usually you support the club of the city/region where you're from and then you follow an International team as well.

Danish, but I have lived in England previously. Well, London.

South Shields born and even though we were right next door to Sunderland, and I mean we lived not a mile away up the coast, Newcastle was the only game in town. We never ever went to Sunderland for anything, it was like a foreign country to us, still is.

There still is a strong following in South Shields despite as you say being so close (and not having passports for Muckemland)

Some of my best mates came from Iraqi and Yemeni families living in Shields (Hence the name Sand Dancers) and they were absolute die hard Toon fans.
