Would you you care for a detailed narrative of Billy Bell cleaning out The Queens in Hartlepool more or less single handed save for Tex & Jonka his brothers with us watching in glee as he put some ugly fucker through the bog window ?
I don't ever recall having my evening pint interrupted by any ugly f***ing monkey hanger when enjoying summer sunshine at the Seagull.
You are f***ing deluded man.

Dodgy in some of them yacker villages especially with dodgy mags.
Was going out with this lass from Seaham who at weekends worked in the club at Blackhall or might have been Horden.
Anyway was Christmas day, so I drove her there and proceeded to have a few slurps, yes I know drinking and driving.
So there was this lad there one of these yacker black and whites who was the former bf of this lass in the club as well, he has recently joined or was joining the Paras.
How the fuck they had mags in them places I do not know.
Well the confrontation was always going to happen as me being dubbed a 'townie'.
I was not looking forward to this as I'm nee hard man at all.
It ends up he offers me out the back, so I says hold on then I need a piss which I did as I was bursting, so has me piss, gets in the back land and here is the mad fucker with his shirt off and he had climbed up on top of the outside bog. He shouts at me I'm a Para and im going to jump off here and kick you head in.
He jumped, but no Para landing at all, he was stumbling trying to get up so I took me chance and booted him all over the back lane.
Back to the bar and remember one old gadgy saying to me, it was about time someone gave him it.
Needless to say I was glad to get out of dodge that day.
Seaton Lads, wild man

Let's not derail the thread but the Queens, Haway ! I could have done that with one hand behind my back. Mr Bell however does deserve respect, however I doubt he was running north on Crimdon Sands, that's my last don't want to derail thread.
That's right steaky .....get back on track and don't derail matters

This, all day long
This is spot on. In our day you went to the match with your mates. It was part of your routine & the whole day was was the experience. Maybe I'm wrong but Sunderland very rarely won away games when I went away, as far as I remember. In them days the post match analysis at an away match lasted about 10 minutes in the pub after you'd safely avoided the home fans. Consisted of who you thought played well & who scored. Then on with enjoying yourself. Now people are on here trying to analyse who was to blame for X, Y Z & it lasts for hours if not days. Of course it could be people much more knowledgeable now. Alternatively our lot didn't have the benefit of endless slow motion replays & condescending twats like Lineker, Shearer & the sky lot telling you what to think.
76? Promotion year, went to every game, home, away & preseason. Fairly sure for a 3 month period we didn't either win, draw or even score in away games. Joked after Pompey away, I'd seen more cells than goals for months iirc maybe weeks

One that sticks in my mind is Blackburn away in the 80's and it was not even a chant tbh.
We had the run of the place and had loads down there. We were crammed into that big away end, with a low roof, and started singing 'Geordies' to Mull of Kintyre'.
At Roker it was often shouted down but this time it grew louder and lasted for ages.
You have to remember this was in the days before John Hall decided he'd changed decades of history and invent the 'Geordie Nation' ffs.
When he did that, and the Mags started using the phrase, I handed in my membership card and started calling myself 'Durham'.
FTM and fuck John Hall.

I had an uncle, sadly killed at work in the pit at Easington, who always called himself ( & others from the area) as "Cuddy's" - being from Co Durham

Was anyone there for the 2-1 defeat 1980 (after that we signed Joe Hinnigan and went 16 games unbeaten!!) ??
Police kept us in but loads of lads started trying to force the gates open. So many joined in that the gates started swaying big time and it looked like that they were going to break. If they had, someone would have copped it.
Thankfully police waded in and forced people away from gates before a fatality occurred eh @Porridge

Life is so much easier now with the ease of travel, satnavs, etc.
Finding grounds was sometimes like searching for the holy grail, especially in London. The directions from the previous week's programme were inevitably shite and 'helpful info' from various people just as bad.
We'd invariably end up asking people who'd turn out to be tourists, strangers or clinically insane.
We were once leaving London, after a night match, and ended up lost. Glen the Merciless got out of the car and gazed around a while before getting good back in.
"Right lads, that's the Plough and that's the North Star, so what we need to do ....... "
We'll were navigating by the f***ing stars ....... a new low, just when we thought things couldn't get any worse
We all chipped in, the following week, and bought a shiny new big yellow AA map
Trip into London, Arsenal game, just got off the train at Waterloo, standing outside station in Lads tops, with two mates just about to go into The hole in the Wall Pub, a dapper chap in a top hat approached and asked directions to Envoy street.... I replied follow the road Streight ahead first right, second left, then 100yards take the next left........no thanks he then just turned and walked away, one of my mates said that's gratitude for you, how did you know where the street was. I said I didn't his eyes seemed to close together and looked like a MAG, why out of any one would you ask a chap in a Lads Top 250 miles from home!!

I was at this one, but was in the paddocks along the side of the pitch. Just remember seeing so many pissed SAFC all over the place and crammed into the away end. Place went mental when we scored and there were a few carried out of the away end looked like they'd been hurt in the crush during the celebrations. Alan Brown scored iirc

"Put your testicles back Mac, put your testicles back" - sung to SuperMac after a team photo where one of his bollocks was on show !!
Didn't we play them at home a few days after that programme ? We'd drawn with skunks 1-1 (iirc it was the beginning of games v skunks being all ticket) a week before the millwall game.Millwall really set themselves up in that Panorama programme and 'invited' every nutter to go there for a go.
That game saw very few 'scarves' show up, understandably, but loads who were a bit daft ..... Millwall were very quiet that day.
There was a TV crew in the street and some of their lot were being interviewed ..... we stood behind them taking the piss
I enjoyed that but I bet the TV people didn't use that bit.
Yeah he scored soon after they went 2 up iirc.
Am sure the late Rob Hindmarch scored an own goal first half ?? Or was it Jeff Clark.

The Sunderland fans running across the pitch at Preston in October 1973 has already been mentioned on this thread.
I've still got the full paper of the Lancashire equivalent of the Football Echo and here's an image of the front page:
Also, as I was looking for this, I came across these clippings I forgot I had of the carry on with Leeds supporters on our way back from Hull on the first day of the season (the incident even got a mention by Jimmy Hill on MOTD that night!):

Served Preston right for closing the pubs before the game.
I missed the A1 fight but still have a nice set of doms from a Hull pub as a memento.

Met up with some of the lads in Spoonys, before the Palace match, and got chatting about the old days as you do.
@Pedro reminded me of a night down at Fulham although, as usual, we couldn't remember much about the game.
He reminded me about the pub afterwards which he thinks was a big Yates's .... it was on a corner and had 2 entrances on each street.
They were already drinking when I arrived, through one set of doors, on an abandoned pushbike with 2 flat tyres, riding through the bar, waving my scarf then leaving through the other doors ....... even the locals were falling about laughing as I wobbled my way through. Happy days

There was a Daily Mirror headline a short while after about one of our lot being arrested for hoying an empty whisky bottle at the polis who were trying to keep us in our end. Not funny in itself but I can remember how he was identified & that was - he had a pair of red knickers on his head
Getting in old & mixing up games but don't think that was the game that Man U went through to Blackpool was it? Some of them were giving it the big un whilst some were singing Sunderland United - this had come from us joining up outside Kings X/St Pancras when lerds of cockerneees turned up after some game. They had also had quite a few in the Kippax in the cup game where they had said " come to give you a hand but you clearly don't need it"
March 73 Kippax was a magnificent outing Sunderland backed up by the Black Angels and Man U was a day never to forget, the City boys never had a look in ha ha strange how our relationship in recent years with the Manc clubs has turned around.
