Trouble again

They took the Roker

If they say they took the Roker they were right cos that's what end they were in.. About 60 ot 70 got in the Fulwell early but didn't stay long, ran down the front and onto the pitch when it kicked off, ran the gauntlet of coins and a few punches on the way back to their own end. Most of them were from Durham, knew a good few of them from Bishop Auckland.
There's a vid online somewhere of them in the Fulwell '85.
 

It was March in 1970 when they were in the Fulwell in huge numbers early on.I’ve often wondered why the police allowed them to enter.Huge numbers arriving so early should have set alarm bells ringing.This is the only incident of them being in the Fulwell in huge numbers in the last 75 years.
Aye 69/70.It was the arriving early threw the police and the Fulwell End.I'm talking about 08.00am they were stacking up in that back lane between the houses and the old corporation bus depot.
 
Think they got there early rather than a quick dart in. United goes up. A fight breaks out and they make their way to front onto the pitch. Fair play for going in I suppose, if that's your thing.
That’s how it happened.Nothing wrong with your memory 👍
I‘m sure that’s the time they were escorted back to Seaburn to get on the train back to Newcastle, then were thrown off at East Boldon then caused mayhem with all the old dears shopping down at the station.
Not the game we’re on about marra.

No one around outside when I arrived at 2pm.Just about full when I arrived at the top of the stairs.The stench was horrific.

I loaned my season ticket for RP to an American work colleague in 1995/96 for match V Luton. He was over here for a year or so and wanted to experience English "soccer". He lived in Gateshead and got the train to Seaburn. He must have left the game a little early (Lads win) and stumbled across a Mag mob coming off the train at Seaburn and braying anyone they found on Fulwell Road (women and children), whilst most fans were still watching the match at RP. Apparently they retreated into Windmills where I presume they made their customary call to the poilce to arrange their protection.

US colleague from work was unhurt and thought the whole thing was great fun :lol:
 
Great then nylon can tell them they allowed the mags to take the piss himself.
Faux-ie. Pretending to be a vaux lad!
Skylon trying too hard to be the fountain of all knowledge. Hate it when people lie about events though and on occasions tell porkies and decry his own clubs supporters.
Aye, cause calling the seaburn 'casualties' isn't decrying your own club, you utter tatie!

He said 'Casulaties' which I disagree with. I assure you 'Vauxie' was a founding member-Vauxies came from the lads who used to meet and drink in The Beehive and The Borough on Friday nights and before home and London away matches when you'd leave on coaches at midnight [he was in the original group of what became 'Vauxies' and then congregated pre match primarily in Vaux Social Club, attached to Vaux Brewery, thus 'Vauxies'.
Brush up on your history and don't talk about days when you weren't even there re Roker and through there with these lads. Cheers.

Brush up on your history. Have you heard yourself man? You have added nowt to this conversation apart from being a vauxie fanboy. Have you their pictures on the wall? You weren't at any incident that has been mulled over on here, I was, and it's been confirmed by other posters. I also know the vauxie lads,love them to bits,and have been to many a match with them, but not the ones that have been out of the country for years and years. You know, the fella calling seaburn 'casualties' ,even though he hasn't been in this country while they have been active.Get back in your box tatie.

How the hell do you know which matches/incidents I’ve attended? You’ve used the supposed insult ‘tatie’ twice, very original, how old are you? 12? I said I disagreed with Vauxies ‘Casualties’ remark, for your info I know lads in both groups as well as many steady away supporters from years of following SAFC.
You’ve commented on times when you weren’t even around. That’s a fact. Saying nothing more on this.
