Burnley fans on Carley Road

So does this mean 40-65 year olds can’t wear adidas gazelles or all the other suede variants because they’re associated with soccer hooligans or any other clobber for that matter that is 🧐

They are allowed to wear what they want sir, But it would be more dignified to sport a solid and sensible rain jacket, a pair of action slacks and perhaps a pair of clarks slip ons.

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".

Coaches on the other side, but both sets of fans still needing to walk on same road though?
Seen a group of younguns hanging around the entrance of the Beacon. Assumed they were Burnley, but maybe they were Sunderland then.....

Im always amazed that these second rate tin pot fans are even allowed to breath when visiting Sunderland. It was never tolerated in the old days.

Soft as shite our support these days.
If you got into bother I'd imagine most would leave you to get a kicking, scurry away, and tut at you online later.

Burnley have always had chewy fans haven’t they ? I’ve never seen them cause troubleup at our place but have experienced it down there.
One game down there, I drove down on my own and as I drove into the town centre a big gan g of lads ran out in front of the car and two of them bounced off my bonnet. A load of shop windows went in and these were the home fans 😄
I’ve been on the Longside when it kicked off but we got the better of it. Been in those shitty pubs near the ground when it’s kicked off.
I do have a soft spot for Burnley though. It’s the size of British West Hartlepool and they get fantastic crowds considering. I once was driving past Turf Moor on a rainy day and saw a gate open and stopped and walked in. Met the groundsman and had a long chat with him on the centre spot. The stadium deserted and the huge terracing looked awesome.
He invited me for a cup’f tea and he was such a knowledgeable bloke.
So, yeah, Burnley are ok 👍

Essentially you drove down to Burnley and knocked over some of their fans?
Nee wonder they're pissed off.

I saw all this and wondered what the hell was going on. At the time I thought it was Burnley infighting.

We walk past the coaches every game - and without fail there is away fans giving shite to our fans - families, oldies and bairns.

Police presence by the coaches non-existent today.

There's never any coppers there to be fair, really bizarre.
Normally not any bother as the north end of the ground aren't really the fighting type. Does leave fans vulnerable to the likes of the scousers etc taking the piss though.

Hi CEF.
What I was getting at is ( as I walk IN) the coaches are normally on the left. So after the match the away fans gather at the doors of the coaches, and are stood on the road.
This time I noticed they were on the right ( as I approach the ground) so the Burnley fans should have been between the coach door and the grass.

However they were still stood on the road, or some were. Burnley Dad was obviously on the other side, as Burnley son ran off in between the coaches shouting Dad Dad , and he appeared between a gap in the coaches, with his over 40s firm behind him.
He looked like the PE teacher off Kes, white polo shirt, tucked in.

I think when we play Boro, Cardiff Millwall Stoke they may stop Sunderland fans walking that way. Or park the coaches somewhere else.
I have had no bother walking that way in years, barring Everton in the cup,, till this season.

Bolton last season was a bit spicy. Mind you it wasn’t the young lads it was the over 50s getting stuck in on our side. One copper and about 20 fans. No idea how nobody got hurt.
