The day was fine other than that incident. Sunderland fans in London the night before and on the day were great. You can’t celebrate en masse like that though in the wrong end. When they jumped up I thought oh shit her we go. It’s was about 2 blocks away from us but obviously it didn’t go down well.Mate of mine is a Sunderland fan and absolutely top bloke.
Been living in Sydney for 30 years and he got a ticket to see the Mackems at Wembley. Didn’t realise he was in the City end till going in. Him and his brother kept quiet and were very respectful - he couldn’t believe it when the Norwegian Mackems went mental in our end when they scored. And chaos ensued.
Kept their heads down until half time - said the atmosphere was a nightmare.
A bit naively he spoke to a copper to see if they could transfer into the Sunderland end and ended up thrown out. Second half in the Wembley Hilton.
Long way to go to watch half the game on TV but he was still very complementary about the Blues fans overall.
And he absolutely hates the durty rags!
