Brighton factually.....
With Coventry v Sunderland fighting. They hate each other from a game in 77.
Sunderland hate Coventry because they contrived a later kick off knowing that all they needed to do was dare with Bristol City to save themselves and relegate Sunderland.
kinda need to move on from that.

Ha, imagine having a rivalry with another club just because of a random game in the 1970s

I never relised that was a rivalry 200 miles , makes our rivalry look better
There are some mad ones where distance isn’t a factor. Brighton / Oxford was at one point. Leicester / Chelsea is.

Yeh Oxford was our palace for a few years, they would always come to Brighton with a big mob and likewise us to there's.

Personally had a few hairy moments up there, but was totally tanked up to fully realise the issues that were posed lol.

There was once back in the day a big scrap whilst the game was going on up there, bodies lying on the deck and all sorts.

I dont know whether to say happy days or not lol.

I decided not to view this. The write up seemed to present football fans as all hooligans and it described an atmosphere that has not been my experience for many years. Even in the dark days of 70s/80s I was able to avoid trouble quite easily.
It doesn't so you should be safe to watch it....but I wouldn't because it's crap. Well the first two episodes have been.

Most exciting thing that has happened so far is a Coventry fan running on the pitch with a blue smoke bomb to do a gender reveal!
