I also don't class them as local either, but I suspect we will have different ideas on what is local and what isn't
Sunderland at 7 miles and Newcastle at about 15 miles is local...Middlesbrough is 30 miles away
They're still located in the North East and I like to see all North Eastern teams do well irrespective of where may own personal loyalties may lie.
Just to be pedantic and contrary for a second - from Murton, Middlesbrough is approx 23 miles away while Newcastle is approx 19. Murton is almost equidistant from both. You're right, we both have different ideas of what is local...lol.
