True, but we shouldn't really harp on about it, lest we become like them...living on past glories. It was a great achievement and Boro did punch above their weight for a number of years, but those days are well behind us now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You know I have argued all my life that I am a Yorkshireman born n bread.

RiseAgainst 3,777 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Genuine question - why does the Boro accent sound quite similar to the Carlisle accent? That's what it reminds me of, rather thanĀ Geordie or any other regional intonation. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 The Boro accent is heavily influenced by the Irish immigrants of the 19th century....first time my wife heard me, she asked if Middlesbrough was near Liverpool (she was from LA area)....so almost anywhere in NW is closer to us than Tyneside 1 Link to post Share on other sites
