As usual mate, you manage to sum things up pretty well.
Personally I loved the way people swayed between the Fulwell and Roker Ends.
It was hilarious how opposition 'hooligans' would follow the idea that the Fulwell was 'our end' and think they could act the big lad in the Roker ...
... then find themselves in the centre block completely surrounded.
On a few occasions they'd beg the police to put them under the scoreboard or the Clockstand Paddock ...
... and when Spurs got in early, thought they'd 'taken the Roker' and ended up running onto the pitch to get away
strangely, my only memories were 'boro' when one lad just kept disappearing then popping up next to some lad, tw@tting him and disappearing again, and man united when they got relegated and thought they were 'too good' for the 2nd division and turned up in force to wreck each ground they went to...they came to Roker, one battered lad was passed down to the front then the rest of them followed him down to get an escort out of the ground followed by 'where's the famous football hooligans' ringing in their ears.
Just found the 1977 Spurs match at Roker, when their lot were chased all over the place ...
... some good shots of the old ground.

That's the Roker Park I prefer to remember, not the way it was at the end.
