I hope you and Courtney meet again.
We had the seats and took their east stand I thinkWas that the “ seats “ big meeting -they came at us and were roundly “ moved back “
This may have been early 80s
Wasn’t big or clever but was like that back then ..
This -I got my nose broke off my fellow Safc fans who thought I was Chelsea !!! -happy days
Did alright in Finos up to that point then “ thanks lads” looked like Steve Bruce
Paris is overrated as fuck man.romance in sunderland of all bloody places hey
Other than the centre it’s a dump.Paris is overrated as fuck man.
I was just thinking about all of the French, marra. That's enough to put anyone off.Other than the centre it’s a dump.
Proper stinks likeOther than the centre it’s a dump.
Some are alreet like, got cousins living over there and the locals appreciate of you try and speak French. Except for Paris, which is a shitholeI was just thinking about all of the French, marra. That's enough to put anyone off.
Right , this is what I saw.
Coming out and walking past the away coaches . Walking in I had noticed they were parked on the different side of the road, meaning the Burnley fans would ( should) not be in direct confrontstion with the Sunderland fans.
Anyway, coming out, me, my son and his girlfriend.
All appeared fairly civilised , Burnley happy and singing Sunderland shrugging and generally with a fair enough attitude.
Then, started by what I can only describe as The Milky Bar kid, it all exploded.
It kicked off fairly heavy. I wont go blow for blow but the 2 groups were aged 16 to 19.
Sunderland are getting on top, but (and I kid you not) one Burnley youth getting howked runs behind the coaches yelling Dad, Dad !. From behind the coach Burnley Dad appears , and he ends up getting a clump off the Milky Bar Kid.
Next thing Burnley elder element (40 -50 year old ) gather, and to give them their due , they charge the Sunderland Youth and push them back. No blows in this incident , just a charge. I think it was more about keeping the area around the coaches safe for their fans. They charged the Sunderland Youth mob, and werent aggresive to regular fans.
The general view going up the road was ( unless they had been provoked earlier ?) It was Sunderland youth "at fault".
A facade of sorts.Other than the centre it’s a dump.
Send in Berb
Another one of my “ haunts” bizarrely on a Monday night( why was a Monday chocca ) and then Sedgefield Hardwick Hall on a wed for grab a granny nite ..the 70s and 80s were a laugh -good happy music -great comedians -weird clothes ( that will get an airing at the fire station 80s night week after next !) and though we had nowt a sense of belonging to Sunderland -loved it -Finos -Porcupine Park Greens BoulevardYou would have still done alright in the Barbary Coast mate... they weren't fussy

I remember getting chased backwards then a sudden charge and forward we went ….my dad was a Boro fan and he was tough toward his kids in a nice way -Royal Marine( Via P Clarence and Haverton Hill) if I had got battered he would have said “ served yourself right for supporting them lot .We had the seats and took their east stand I think
Courtney love.wondered what was going on there tbh, i cant defend that if it happened but i saw nothing,if we were 2-0 down i was probably talking to courtney who works the bar, got a bit fed up at 2-0 down when the game stopped everyone seemed to be taking a break so i did too
obviously dont condone that if thats what happened
if anyone of you are courtneys fella dont worry nothing happened, i refused to give her my number
We didI hear of stuff like this after our home games but never see nowt really when I go away to grounds. 6/7 games a season maybe.
If Burnley fans were giving a bit by their coaches it’s because this day and age they expect nowt back.
We can give it as much as anyone by the way.
It’s the same when we go away.
If we’d just turned 2 nil down at half time into a 4-2 win and could get away with it there’d be loads of safc lads ripping the piss and pushing the limits.
Let’s be fair.
If anyone got offended by it they should’ve done something about it rather than moan about the police stopping them taking the piss out of us.
