    I was born in Sunderland and emigrated to Australia in 1972 so I just missed the Black Cats triumphal entry into he town after winning the FA Cup. Thank you so much for all the memories. A few things after changed of course, but Sunderland is essentially the town I grew up in. Win Beston

    Interesting fact, in 1877 ex- President Ulysses S Grant laid the foundation stone to the building which was to become the Sunderland Museum.
    The stone can still be seen today on the right hand side of the entrance to the building.

    "Mackems" was originally a proud boast in the days when Sunderland built more ships than anywhere else in the world and provided the Crews, Navigators and Engineers to man them.
    Hence "We make them and take them to sea" or, in the vernacular, "Mackem and Tackem".

    "I support both teams" , "There is some rivalry there" , "Geordies are proud to be called Geordies, I don't think people from Sunderland are proud to be called Mackems - It's just rascist"
    Great video and much appreciated guided tour which made me homesick....but I dont think many folk share your thoughts re the football and being Mackems.

      Geordie is the biggest insult ever

      I can’t see how it’s a “racist” term seeing as Mackems and Geordie’s were pretty much the same race when the name came about.
      Just an attempt by Geordies to insult people from Sunderland. Not very successful is it.
      Haway the lads!

    Your right about the awful mackem and tackem garbage they are insulting Sunderland people it was always meant as an insult but a lot of safc fans seem to have adopted it personally me and my family can’t stand it and Roker park had a crowd 75 118 and had crowds of in excess of 50 and 60 000 back in the day they started reducing it down the years It was about 42000 Olay the start of the 80s

      Sunderland population has dropped 30k in last 10 year or so, the fans are still about they just live in other parts of the country, nothing keeping people in sunderland.

      Because the way we pronounce the words make or take

      Hasn’t been a derogatory term for decades. Even then it was only derogatory in the minds of the Geordie’s.
