You’ll Be SHOCKED At The REAL Story Of Newcastle Fan Bus Escort! History CAPTURED!

[@MarkWeir-cr5tk]

My son at the game, he said well organised and even got scarf and bottle of water on the bus. Let’s win today and give our all

[@johngrimshaw3965]

From far away in Oz, I have to shake my head at the madness. We're fortunate, in that at our football (AFL), supporters can sit alongside one another and enjoy some lighthearted banter. Shame that isn't the case in the UK.

[@83dude]

That's because you Aussies care More about drinking cheap beer than any sports

[@meichong8278]

Yes but that hasnt always been the case , Australia had it's own burgeoning " hooligan " problem not so long ago didnt they...... along ethnic lines if I remember correctly .Has that all gone away now then ?

@@meichong8278 it still exists at our soccer which as I'm sure you know is made up of clubs that are primarily ethnic based. Fortunately, the disease hasn't infected our footy, and rugby.

AFL is full of goons, thats why. we still have segregation at (proper) football. long may that continue.

Match's just finished eddy 3-0 no bother Fans were brilliant Massive convoy of buses Could of been more, Sunderland were quite poor actually Excellent coverage eddy cheers mate 👍

[@mikedavies2523]

Great video and explanation around the ‘Blunderland’ saga and the military operation required to get fans there and back. Great negotiations all around IMO so more fans could go than would normally have been allowed (although I don’t expect those Sunderland fans who had to move their seat would agree!) I wonder if this will become the norm if the ‘Mack’s’ ever return to the ‘promised land’ and the fixtures are more regular? Also, will a similar ‘operation’ be carried out if there is a replay today? Keep up the first class commentary Eddy.

Sunderland are very mean with their ticket allocations. They only gave us 2000 when we played there. They only gave you 6000 because they had too.

[@2626stephen]

Was a sight to see the coaches heading under escort into the stadium

[@LeeStewart]

I’m sure there’s a system in place to make sure that everyone who boards the buses has a match ticket. There has always been repercussions after these derby matches. I felt so sorry for the horses.

Unbelievable. so we (SAFC) can't trust Newcastle fans who paid £500+ for a ticket to behave themselves and not trash the place? Add onto that the coaching in/out, the amount of time being made hang about, and I get the impression we're being a bit over zealous here.

We forwent our share of the gate receipts as part of the agreement over fan numbers/north stand etc. So the club very much paid for the buses.

Do you have a reference for this bud? Sunderland didn’t do us a favour allowing 6000 fans, there’s a 15% requirement for home clubs regarding FA Cup matches. That should have been 7K + but was capped by police
