They would have to put barriers up and seperate fans, the winners would gloat like there's no tomorrow which would make the losers react in violence.
 
So nowt happened then as I said.

You didn't say nothing of a sort. There were a few incidents but i wouldn't know what happened for sure as i wasn't there.

Just going off videos ive seen other peoples accounts.
 
In the 80's I went to the Mercantile credit classic (I think it was called). 10 teams (I think) all playing at Wembley over a whole weekend, a knockout competition to celebrate 100 years of the footy league. Newcastle & Sunderland both qualified for the comp and there was bother, mainly caused by Sunderland.

Our drunken coach happened to stumble upon a coach load of Mags at a service station, this resulted in the mags shitting themselves at the sight of 50 drunken lads between 17 - 40 yr old scaring the shit out them while they ate their chips. 2 more mag coaches came to the services and then to add some flavour a leeds & a wolves coach pulled up. Everyone was braced for WWIII until some lad threw a football down and we all started playing the largest game of footy since Christmas day during the war.

At the ground me and my m8's were actually knocking around with 3 mags, they were canny lads, just out for a good weekend, same as us really. We invited them to come into the Sunderland end assuring they would be ok, they lasted 30 seconds and had to run like shit, maybe it was the Mirandinha sombrero :D

Now am not taking the blame at all but this triggered off quite a few Sunderland fans who walked around to the other end of the ground and went into the Newcastle end, a few fists flew but it triggered off the leeds fans who then came over to the Sunderland fans. We were next to Sheff Wed and tranmere, the sheff wed fans started singing about Yorkshire and it looked like they were going to join with Leeds. Tranmere were clearly with us, great set of lads but Wolves who were next to tranmere were starting to taunt the Leeds....it all nearly ended in a riot but eventually it died down.

So the moral of this story is when Sunderland and Newcastle fans are together there will be bother, no matter when, where or how.

:lol::lol::lol:
A wonderful post, I'm crying.
 
Says a great deal about the North East Derby. When you think of the rivals that have competed in the final over the years. To think it would be unpoliceable say a lot about the status of it being up there as one of the best derby matches.

it wouldnt be unpoliceable like. the sheer numbers there would dampen the aggression a bit i reckon. there would be trouble and the night before could be quite nasty i think but i dont think itd be the mass battles that people predict
 
I honestly think they would toss a coin and have it at a home ground or who ever has the biggest ground at the time. 50/50 split and 15000 bussed in from the other city.

30,000 of each going to London would by outright carnage.

would be canny though :lol:

Aye, long way to go for 20 minutes football that was, Pascoe missed our penalty iirc. Leeds doing the Conga went down really well :lol:
 
Older posters will remember both clubs being drawn away in the FA cup 5th round back in the late 70's. We were taking 8,000 to Stoke and they were taking a similar amount to Bolton. Police designated various service stations to each club, and it worked fairly well. We stopped off on the M62 and it was packed with both sets of fans, mainly standing around drinking and chatting to each other. Selby Fork services in Yorkshire was designated to the mags and I was told that Vauxies purposely stopped off there. Apparently it kicked off as soon as they got off the bus.
