Business done :oops:
Why didn’t they try and stay ?
When they planned it do you reckon their plan was to meet up in the Fulwell and get out at the first sign of trouble ?
They had enough numbers to have had a go at the cage if they wanted to. They just didn’t want to.
Exactly when push came to shove they just didn’t have the bottle and were relieved to get out, all preplanned, forward decades later last year on the metro against Shrewsbury and nothing’s changed, shit scared soft bastards.
 
A group that size could have potentially chased Sunderland fans out of their own end.
Iirc the crowd was very low that year for a derby game
I don’t agree with this mind. They could have had a good go but the lads I remember from those days at the back of the Fulwell would have been going nowhere. Btw I wasn’t there that day but like a lot of us standing at the back or in the cage was the done thing for me and my mates for a few years.

I remember being in the cage area and remember mostly youngens.
I never got right to the back mind you.
No matter what the mags never really did anything
 
I was in the Fulwell as well, from what i can remember they got a hoofing and got hoyed out, don't know where this "took the Fulwell" came from thick gravy stained twats
I haven't read any posts after this, so apologies if Seb.
That said, and I doubt this will be liked.
They came to Sunderland at that time70s and 80s and wandered round the ground owning the place.
My cousin was a Mag and in 79, in the League Cup, at Roker, 2-2, before the replay when Jim Pearson missed the penalty in front of the Gallowgate ( I was there), there was maybe 50 outside the player's entrance at RP.
I remember my dad saying there's your cousin Steven, honestly, I was 16, he was 20 and less than 5 foot.
Yet there they were outside the players ent
 
I never saw nowt mate.

Got to Shrews at 1.20 pm- plenty of OB about in Town outside the pubs.

Went in Spoons and it emptied after we got in.

OB had all gone up the ground seemingly when we left at 2.30.

Walked back after the game to the Station, saw no one.
 
I only have two experiences of other fans being in the Fulwell. One was Man United in the sixties and they had one half of the end. That was allowed by the Police I’m sure. I was in fact in the Main Stand seats with my grandad.
The other was a dark miserable night when Hartlepool played Scunthorpe in a FA Cup replay. I was a Sunderland fan but that night I was a Hartlepool fan. About 200 Poolies paid into the Fulwell and I for one was surprised to see a squad of Sunderland in the cage. The Poolies stood to the right of the cage and there were some handy lads there but the home lads scattered them.
I was very surprised but then again it was probably before the Welcome to Sunderland banner went up !

In 1980 I seem to remember them having The Cambridge pub.
I was in the Fulwell end that day and there was literally mags dotted about .
When Cummins scored they seem to disappear.
I was 13 at the time

Yes they used to swagger around Roker as if they had nothing to worry about. Some of them found out the hard way.
 
There wasn’t trouble. There was a bit of gesturing etc but the police separated the groups well. There’s a short clip on @Casuals73 twitter page, however it’s a lot of police and not a lot else.
There was no trouble at all.
Fictional messages in here are not true

Why would I have pictures of something I didn’t go to? When I say know them, I mean know of them. Twitter etc.

I remember Man Utd and Scum I was youngish also a good few Forest older long haired lads who started up with “The forest supporters are in to sing and to shout and to win” they were quickly dispersed by our older lads, somethings you never forget.
