Why are people from Sunderland called makems?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Makem is a contraction of the local pronunciation of "Make them".

According to our neighbours north of the Tyne (who's own dialect provides us with much amusement) we don't "Make them and take them" we "Mak'em and Tak'em".

So this is more of an insult (that we have endured and accepted because of popular usage) than a self adopted title.

This left that years Charity Shield match to be competed for by Manchester City who had won the competition in 1972 and Burnley who were the 2nd Division champions. It was mooted that the reason Liverpool declined to play Sunderland was due to the humiliation heaped upon Leeds United when they were defeated by Sunderland in the F A Cup final.

Where did the name the Stadium Of Light originate from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The name 'The Stadium of Light' is in reference to the fact that the stadium is located on the site of the old Wearmouth Colliery (coal mine), which closed in 1994. To mark this a giant statue of a Davy Lamp is located in front of the main box office and behind the west stand there is a large red wheel, an emblem of the lifts which used to take the miners down to the mine itself.

That is how it got its name.
