Newcastle fans climb into the Everton section March 1977, after Everton beat Newcastle 2-0 at St James, the ugly face of Football during the 70's- I hope there was no trouble today...-

Always a tough place to go, even by the standards of the bad old days. A decade earlier, this happened:

I don't recall many away fans on the Leazes after the Everton riot (I think that was in 67). Certainly there were very few city fans in the Leazes when they won the league in 68. I don't recall any London fans ever on the Leazes they seemed to prefer the paddocks. No definitely Everton, we went 3-0 down and probably bottom of the league then all hell broke out on the Leazes. When it calmed a bit the police escorted the Everton fans round to the Gallowgate.

In February, 1967, when Newcastle United hosted Everton, the Chronicle reported how “Newcastle’s long-suffering fans exploded when they went 3-0 down after only 18 minutes...

“Fans in the Leazes End started fighting and coins and bottles showered on to the field. Children, sitting at the front of the crowd, scrambled on to the surrounding track for safety, but many were hurt, some having to go to hospital for treatment. The police were not prepared for what could almost be termed as a riot, being only small in number. It was probably because of this that, despite restoring order, only six men were arrested – two from Liverpool and four from Tyneside.”

When the rising tide of football hooliganism arrived at St James' Park.
