I was there that day. 1500 is a ludicrous claim. There was probably around 2-300 based in the Paddocks, and a few more in the corner of the Roker (nor sure about the last bit, seem to remember some Skunk with a flag, but my mind might be playing tricks on me). It certainly contributed to the poisonous rivalry that exists nowadays.....don't think it was as bad before then.
Not a great day to be a Sunderland fan to put it mildly but at least the Skunks monetary contribution that day helped our promotion push the following season.![]()
my dar says there was a mag about a third the way up the flood light waving a black and white shirt round his heed.
