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.
Sounds bout right based on my recollection from game. Just as soon as they 'revealed themselves' they were out and on pitch walking to Roker End. But how do you know they were from Durham and B Auckland?

I knew at least half a dozen of them really well, one of them was a best mate from school, saw them walk in, to the right of the Fulwell end towards the back. When it kicked off one of the nearest to them was a bouncer from Bishop who they knew and he put a couple of them on their arses.
 
I know it sounds silly,but does he get called something different (his surname)? If so, yes I know him, and he was there.
I only knew him as Ian , mags may have had diff name for him, liked a smoke
Even though one of the mags lads use to come to the raves with us back in the day, bizarre really looking back

It was Easter 69 when the mags were in the fulwell 1-1 if I recall s/land were on the left side looking from Roker end,
First match at SOL against the mags I recall going up Roker avenue a bar Red something no longer there a mob of Sunderland about 200 chocka inside with about 50 on pavement with old bill watching them like hawks as far as I'm aware mags never showed that day
Easter 1970 and a couple of hundred bottom left.
 
Police are expecting bother?…
Can’t really see it myself but there you go.
They are classing it as the same as a Sunlun/Newcastle game according to a plod commander who spoke to me today.
580 coppers on duty.
Must be 560 more than a normal match!!
 
Name me a better mob than Millwall mate.

We were in the bottom right of the Fulwell looking at the Roker End standing in front of Big Al (The Bear) and coins were raining down on us, we went to the kiosk at the back at half-time and could see the mags (wo had got in early) had took pretty much the whole end.

They might have closed the turnstiles when fighting broke out in the queues and just inside the turnstiles - a lot of Sunlun had to watch from the Roker End.

This was the Derby of the infamous cement bags of weapons being thrown over the wall of the Fulwell.

Aaah, my mistake mate, I thought you meant a Sunderland lad. I actually thought you meant a lad called ben( this was his surname though)who had long hair. Great lad.
