Sunderland Hooligans

[oROSSo]

Used to work with a bloke (TG) from Shields, who is a monster of a man, has a cracking scar on his head where he says he got a bollard wrapped round it fighting for Sunderland, dinna if its true or not like but i wouldnt like a clip off him!

Double decker and a 30 seater went down.

Loads went in on the train and the 30 seater was sent back to sunderland.

After the game everyone had to bum lifts on other buses to get back.

Stupid idea to get the train in, took well over an hour and none of the windows opened

Quote from that Milk Cup Video: "Police were actually on the pitch when Colin West scored Sunderlands third goal"

If that's the one I'm thinking about there was quite a bit of trouble during the day. Sunderland had been drinking in a pub just up the road from the away end (To the left as you left the ground.) and Southampton were buzzing around without getting too close ............ very edgy mind.

After the game I went round to the exit from the home side to our right. If you remember we had that poxy open end.
I was waiting for a Southampton fan who'd been shouting his mouth off and giving us 'cut throat' signs. I met a lad from Shotton who told me he was waiting for the same lad and that I should fuck off 'cos he'd got there first.

I did, he was a right hard nut.

We had a night out in Oxford after that match and pissed up we all nicked a student bike as none of them were locked up. f***ing mad it was just crashing into each other for a laugh in the main drag. Away day's like that will never be repeated

I have never been part of our casuals/firm or whatever they are called however I have a few stories to tell about certain games.

Here goes in no order

When we drew 2-2 against Man Utd at SOL there was a few scuffles outside. (2000ish?)

Everytime we have played Boro at SOL there has been a bit trouble at the end.

Apart from the pitch inavasion at scum park in 1990 I have seen little trouble in the fixture

Away at Palace (play offs)gme there was hell on when their fans came over to our disabled fans. Some of our lads ran onto the pitch to confront them.

Spurs away when Makin scored, I have never seen so many SAFC fans full of blood

Carlisle away in the cup (mid 90's?) before the game a gang of SAFC fans outside looking for bother

Stoke away in the late 80's at their old stadium, we ran them when we were let out at the end of the game. No more than 1500 SAFC fans there that day.

I was threatened when I sat in the home end at Norwich when we had 250 tickets

Notts Forest away (1994?) last game of the season when they had gained promotion there was a bit fighting before the game.

Southend away the other year after the match these kids wanted to fight with us in a pub. A few from smb were in the pub IIRC inc Catryan.

Carlisle at home when the Roker End was 50% B&W shirts

Pompey at home at RP when we won 4-1 and Pompey missed out on promotion/play offs?

Away at Boro at The Riverside at the end of the game on a number of accasions.

I am sure there are others but my mind has gone blank

Blank?

That's total f***ing recall compared to most people on here

 

[jarralee]

To the poster who says its all OTT taking ends and noone gets done etc plenty get done in them situations as you have to get out and away to a coach or train and everyone knows it ...at boro the last time i recall being in the holgate only had about a third as most s/land were in the opposite corner and as the game nears the end people start to ghost away before it kicks off ...we all use to sing "when we leave we all leave together" but all going in different directions it never quite happens and the ones still around full time have to ward off a lot of attacks happened a few times over the years sheff wed in the kop ...and milwall 75 tho we all tried to ghost out of that one...from 2-55 it was hell on till u got on a tube out ...

Another one

Brum away when they were twatting every SAFC they could , f***ing cowards that day the Brum fans were. I will never forget that

 

[Iceman]

Saw a few people mention games against Newcastle.

Few incidents with them away from the derby games which I havent seen been mentioned.

England Under 21s at Sports direct stadium, strawberry got turned over.
England v Finland at Anfield outside limestreet station
England v Turkey at sol
Ireland v England (night of riots)
England v Germany (mainly forest but quite a few mags)
Hibs v Sland at central station

Thats just off the top of my head.

Well I am past it now, but I do not exagerate, why should I ?
I have been involved in loads of face offs, get ins and the rest.
Two are memorable.
One was against The Mags. We were told 2 coach loads had ordered buffets in The Wolseley before a home game. About 15 of us went in at opening time ( all from Hartlepool by the way )
Sure enough in they came with their black and white shitey shirts on etc and before they had ordered their drinks they were pelted with pool balls etc. we were outnumbered massively but just literally dived into them.
They ran outside and were kicked all ower as they ran around like squealing pigs.
We chased three big lads into a dead end......never mind. Hey you Maggy feckers it might have been you !
Worst ever was Swansea away in early 80's. W e lost 3 - 1 Alan Brown scored.
Only bout 1200 of us there and we got into a nasty nasty fight before the game in a pub where people were injured badly.
Through all this I have loved Sunderland AFC like all of you. I am educated, have a happy life and abhor violence !
FTM

Anybody remember Carlisle in the FA cup about 93/94, they fetched thousands down and can remember being hell on, think it was the replay where the Carlisle lad said in hos book it was the only time he was pleased to see the ploice

They stormed The Fort and started hoying tins of beans. It was when the beans war was on and a tin cost about 8p or something. We managed to get them outside and when they ran out they scattered. We invaded the pitch after winning the replay and they couldn't get out quick enough. I think the Seaburn even smashed their bar up when they refused to turn up. Iirc their bar was owned by one of their main boy's fatha's

Wolves at home early 90's i think

We chased some Wolves fans into Charlie Browns where they took cover.
They then watched us raid their tranny van, we walked away with a victory can of lager

 

[rocky dennis]

The sight of those players in the studio was almost as frightening as coming out of the ground after the game

f***ing very scary night but we got our own back in 92 round Z block outside The Shed. The kernts didn't know where to run that night.

That was after the bother on the way in. My little sis got hit by glass from the twats in the White Hart and one of our lads got thrown in front of a taxi.
Always hated Spurs fans since that day.

Rememer Carlisle away (not sure if it was a friendly or FA cup around the same time) another lovable Shields branch shambles. Think we got there late after a boozer stop off and couldnt get parked. During the game the PA announcers read out "DFs Sunderland supportes bus is parked in XXXX road/avenue."

Bus was mixed, some lads, families, bairns, etc. Just as we got to the bus we got ambushed and had a fair battle before the Polis arrived. Life was never dull on the S/Shields Branch :-D

Just say no kids...

Brum away when they were twatting every SAFC they could , f***ing cowards that day the Brum fans were. I will never forget that

That was a total disgrace.

I remember one Sunderland kid, in a shirt, had his jaw broken in a totally umprovoked attack on the street outside the away end ....... a very chilling sight was two Sunderland lads in jeans and denim jackets pulling on black leather gloves, in a car park at the bottom of the street.

They just stood side by side and invited the Birmingham gang to fight them. There was a f***ing horrible stand-off and we were sitting in the car park in our car waiting for the exit to clear.

We never knew what happened 'cos we'd had to fight our way to the car and had already had enough ......... and it was a company car.

If anyone can recognise the description, they looked liked 2 brothers, stocky but not too tall, blondish gingery hair and matching tashes. f***ing scary pair of lads, someone on here must know them.

Hey I'm past it ................look on You Tube Amsterdam Sunderland hooligans

I am not joking when I tell you i missed all the trouble by 10secs. As soon as I got in the turnstile it all kicked off. IIRC the SAFC end was only half full at the start of the match

 

[rocky dennis]

There's a canny book by a Boro lad,John Theone,Battling for the Boro,obviously there's loads of Sunderland mentioned in it,he mentions the Windmills incident,and fair play to him like other hoolie type books it's not all one way traffic we knacked them type stuff,he always give credit where it's due.

He wrote Frontline and he's a f***ing cock. The battering behind the Holgate in the backlane that brought about the song my old man said follow Sunderland, he reckons Boro were on top in the end. The fact the stupid tit got banned by posting photo's means he can write what he wants.

We only escaped because my mate had bought his son a Brum scarf for some strange reason
