I've met some truly mad Sunderland supporters .....

[Feed the Monster]

One of my favorite away days memories is the mythical Maine Road match in 91. Was on a bus organized I think by Big Andy and Pell (?) from the Blue Bell. There must have been 65-70 crammed in on the way down, all pissed before it set off and almost dead by Ferrybridge services. After the match about 35 made it back before setting off and another 7-8 of them were nicked on the way up after the whole bus ahem emptied an offie in Chapel Town in Leeds

remember going back to loughborough after leicester match with gateshead lot when 2 blokes tried to run us off the road on bikes , 1 turned round came back up the hill and got turned over and gateshead lot only let him be when someone said his head had came off, only the helmet, various other scrapes over the years with the gateshead lads

The most fanatical Sunderland supporter I've ever met comes from Gateshead. If SAFC are playing he's there,this includes pre season friendlies played anywhere in the world.

Cant remember most of the names now but some of the Billingham lads that I sometimes travelled with in the 80's were certifiable. I was in my teens/early 20's and used to spend the days laughing so hard it hurt, getting lamped so much it hurt or running away so much it hurt

Went away with the Billingham lads a few times, but mainly it went off on their station after home games (70's/80's) when we played at home the same day as the boro & they would wait for the Darlo train coming in.... bassas

Fatfield lad must have been another time, the Ollie Burton game in 73 just after the cup final was one of Gateshead's finest GN

Why ffs ???????????

Scum games particularly at St James just bring out the worst in a lot of us, surely you know what it feels like ??

There was 2 on the bike, the lad on the back put the bus window out with a brick as they sped past.
We followed them into the nearby housing estate and found them just about to put the bike into a shed. They clocked us and the lad with the bike jumped on and tried to drive through us at 60 mph. TC caught him a beauty bang on the chin and him and the bike ended up in a heap.
