This could be Rotterdam or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome - but it& #39;s actually Gateshead Quays. Feyenoord Rotterdam football club sticker. Away fans like to do this as a way of marking territory, seeing themselves as marauding invaders. There& #39;s a few dotted around Tyneside [thread]https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten">
Celtic Ultras sticker on Newcastle Quayside...
There& #39;s a bit of Glaswegian old firm sticker rivalry down there... this is the Rangers equivalent on City Road:
A charming bunch, Rangers fans...
Not to be outdone, here& #39;s a Dundee F.C. Saturday Culture sticker near the Pitcher & Piano...
See also: Dean Street, Newcastle...
However, that & #39;right-wing& #39; Dundee casuals sticker is lorded over by a Nazi-smashing St Pauli FC (Hamburg& #39;s famously left-wing football club) one...
Sunday stroll update: Sectarian sticker tension on Newcastle Quayside as Celtic Ultras has been overlaid by Rangers Ultras...

Dundee United represented on Forth Street, behind Newcastle Central Station...
Crass cultural appropriation of Andy Capp by Northern Ireland& #39;s Cliftonville F.C. Casuals on Newcastle Quayside...
Hertha Berlin sticker at the bottom of Westgate Road, Newcastle. Hertha were German Champions in 1930 and 1931, which means they& #39;ve been waiting almost as long as #NUFC to win the top flight trophy again... #HerthaBSC
Continuing the German theme, here& #39;s an Uwe Rösler-inspired Man City sticker on Neville Street, near Newcastle Central Station ("Uwe& #39;s grandad bombed the Stretford End" was a popular City chant in the & #39;90s)...
Another & #39;Cit-eh& #39; sticker on Grainger Street...

Hekkie Amsterdam - an Ajax-supporting group - sticking up on Forth Street, behind Newcastle Central Station...
Dundee again, on St Nicholas& #39; Street this time, with an accompanying Brexit-themed sticker...
Just before the first #NUFC home game of the season, here& #39;s a sneaky Sunderland sticker directly outside the Gallowgate end. Maybe Steve Bruce can send somebody out with soapy water and a scraper at half-time...
Faded Boro sticker on Northumberland Road...
And another from Teesside - Stockton Town sticker on Clayton Street...
Pretty much the only thing of footballing interest seen on Strawberry Place today is this Carlisle United sticker: & #39;Football Lads & Lasses Against Fascism - For a United Working Class& #39;

Stickers representing clubs in Austria, Germany, Holland, Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland so far, but the only one claiming to be the & #39;Biggest Club in Europe& #39; is, of course, Newcastle Benfield... (on the steps leading to The Cumberland Arms in Ouseburn)
Looks like Roly from Grange Hill on this Chelsea FC sticker (Side, Newcastle):
It& #39;s a London thing innit... Millwall Berserkers, Grainger Street:
Fulham getting in on the act at the bottom of Grey Street...
Meanwhile, back on the Side, we have & #39;DARLO BOYS ON TOUR& #39;.
