A historical nautical term for dock workers and seamen would make complete sense given Sunderlands rich boat building past.
Heave Away Lads etc shortened with dialect to Ha'way Lads etc.....

This has long troubled me... It means “come on lads” Newcastle have the exact same saying, except they spell it Howay. It’s a North East thing. Come to think of it, there’s a poster on here consistently saying ‘Gouranga’ at the end of their posts. What does that mean? The literal translation is 'Golden Arm' - so I haven't a clue as to why Albert posts that at the end of every post!

Means “let’s go” or “come on”. Research freely available on Google. So how do you get from 'let's go' or 'come on' to 'ha-way'?!

Oh, maybe like this ! If you try saying 'Heave away the lads' in your best North East accent really quickly you do end up with something like 'Ha'way the lads' I am happy with this explanation.

All my dearly missed dads family came down from Sunderland for pit work in the 60s (part of the huge Bentilee estate and its overflow eventually to Biddulph), I always marvelled at my dad, uncle and nan/grandads chatter that almost became its own language after a few beers! Haway as above is universally used as 'come on' - from an almost derisory 'haway man' (come on youth) if unhappy about somebodys effort/attitude, 'haway the lads' (come on lads) as encouragement Can be 'go on', 'come on', 'hurry up' and lots of other meanings - its a chivvy on! Some of my dads legendary sayings of 'hadaway and shite man' (thats nonsense you fool), 'why aye man' (yes, certainly), 'thants canny' (its very good), 'bliddy helles belles man woman' (for Gods sake usually aimed at my nan lol) - I miss them all and the bonkers Sunday dinners. Its no worse than him living here contending with conner, wunner, dunner, bosted etc :-) (He was mortified that I became a Stokie, wrong red and white he would say, but my grandad on my mums side made me a season ticket holder aged 4 and I've been going through thin and thinner ever since) And Kidsgrove. We have what is called 'The Miners Estate'. Lots of Geordies settled here. I was at school with a lad from Durham.

I think people from Sunderland, or Geordies as they are known like to drop their Ts. So they are basically giving a direction That way lads so they know which way to go People from Sunderland are not known as Geordies. Geordies are born on the banks of the river Tyne - eg Newcastle, Gateshead and South and North Shields. Sunderland people were originally known as Makems. That referred to their ship building traditions. "Ships - we Makem (make em)." Why aye man!

They say it because it’s written in the seating in white seats at the SoL. Pretty much the same as our local saying, ‘Bet365’

Not quite the same as when I was a kid living on it though - no miners! (Lots of retired ones)

Imagine asking a Mackem why do you describe you and your partner as “may n mar lady”. Again all background info available on freely available search engines.

Not quite the same as when I was a kid living on it though - no miners! (Lots of retired ones) I lived by the miners estate in Biddulph and went to school with a lot of lads from there in the 60's. Some of them best mates, but some right bad uns, Some of them were good at footy, and tough lads!

Ha'way means come on,got relatives up there. Correct In Newcastle it is spelled "Howay" In Sunderland it is spelled "Ha'way" The effect is much the same - it's used as a term of encouragement and exasperation "Ha'way lads, let's smash Stoke tomorrow" "Ha'way man ref. That was NEVER a pen"

It used to be written on the bridge over the Fenton A50 link road. Sure he just copied that
