McFaul 35 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Most pubs probably sway mackem, especially in the south of the town, round Marsden if that's where you've been spending time.... The Fountain, Bamburgh, Grey Hen, New Crown, County etc. I'm basing that on owners 15 years ago like. More Northern bars on the banks of the Tyne are better for that. The Riverside, The Waterfront and Steamboat which don't put coaches on or owt, but will show definitely show Newcastle games rather than the mackems on a Saturday afternoon. Only other one that springs to mind is The Westoe. Maybe The Mariner as well. I was in the Fountain Friday night, and The Marsden Inn later on Saturday night, live band on. One thing I will say, apart from my better half, the people in South Shields aren't as attractive as they are in Newcastle, mind I'd say the whole of South Tyneside is guilty of this too.

Last time I was up The County was still mainly a red & white haunt but the manager was a hard little bastard of a Leeds fan who took no shit from the cunts.

Aye, they still have the Leeds pendant up but I think they run a coach up to the SOL. Certainly all the young ones who haunt the pool room are mackems because a lad I go to games with is mates with them and is in a running war of words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fountain was my local for ten year. Marsden inn was always a shithole though. Nice enough place, but the clientele were all from Horsely Hill. Second only to the Woodbine for radgies. You're right it's full of hounds. I was too good looking so had to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I worked in Sunderland for years, there can't be many worse places in Western Europe. I'm nee snob, but the people are almost exclusively common as fuck. South Shields I find the people a lot more refined than geordies or mackems tbh, and Marsden is really nice. Sea front is beautiful as I say I honestly prefer it to Tynemouth and Whitley Bay. Went to the Marsden Grotto pub a few times in the 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6089 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Whereabouts did you work? Like most places it has some nice and some bad. Biddick Hall being the extreme end of the bad. At the hospital. Harton Lane, just down from the Nook. But I worked in the community so know my way around Shields/Jarrow/Hebburn as well as anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
