THIS IS WEARSIDE | OFFICIAL STATEMENT
This Is Wearside strongly condemns the decision to impose compulsory bubble travel restrictions on Sunderland supporters for the upcoming Tyne-Wear derby.
We are deeply disappointed, not only by the decision itself, but by the apparent reconsider it, despite the considerable efforts of both football clubs, supporter organisations and the Football Supporters’ Association to put forward sensible, proportionate alternatives.
Once again, football supporters are the victims of a narrow-minded, tunnel-vision approach to decision-making, where the operational preferences of those in authority appear to have taken precedence over the people most affected.
Supporters are expected to report to the Stadium of Light from 9am for a 2pm kick-off at a ground just 12 miles away. Some will be forced to travel miles in the wrong direction, only to be transported back towards where they started.
All for the privilege of supporting their football club.
How can anyone reasonably consider this proportionate?
We fully recognise the importance of public safety and the responsibilities placed upon Northumbria Police and the relevant authorities. Nobody is suggesting that those responsibilities should be compromised.
But public safety cannot become a blanket justification for imposing disproportionate restrictions, disregarding legitimate concerns or dismissing credible alternatives.
Public safety should protect supporters, not be used as an excuse to punish them.
The overwhelming majority of football supporters attend matches peacefully, something Northumbria Police itself acknowledges. Yet thousands of law-abiding supporters are being subjected to restrictions because of the actions of a minority.
It is collective punishment in all but name.
Perhaps equally concerning is the process through which this decision has been reached and subsequently defended.
Both clubs, RAWA, Newcastle United Supporters’ Trust and the Football Supporters’ Association have worked constructively to develop alternative arrangements. Detailed proposals have been presented, concerns raised and opportunities offered to find a more reasonable solution.
Yet the position remains unchanged.
Consultation should be an opportunity to influence decisions, not simply an exercise in explaining them after they have already been made.
This raises a fundamental question about accountability and whose interests are genuinely being considered.
Who does this decision actually benefit?
The authorities may find these arrangements operationally preferable, easier to coordinate or more convenient to manage. But they are not the ones being required to surrender their freedom of movement, rearrange their entire day or undertake completely unnecessary journeys.
Those making and defending the decision will not experience its consequences in the same way as those expected to comply with it.
The people most affected appear to have had the least influence.
When convenience takes priority over supporters, football has lost sight of who it exists for.
We should be moving towards more intelligent, collaborative and proportionate approaches to football policing. Approaches built upon evidence, meaningful engagement and mutual respect, rather than treating entire fanbases as problems to be controlled.
This is one of English football’s greatest rivalries. An occasion that should celebrate the passion, heritage and identity of two proud footballing communities.
Instead, we find ourselves discussing restrictions, unnecessary journeys and the breakdown of trust between supporters and those responsible for their safety.
That should concern everyone involved in the game.
This Is Wearside stands alongside RAWA, the FSA, both football clubs and the supporter organisations who have worked tirelessly to challenge these arrangements constructively.

It would seem Northumbria Police will not reassess their decision to impose a full bubble trip for the Tyne–Wear derby and the reality of this decison kicks in. Sunderland supporters are now expected to report to the Stadium of Light at 9am for a 2pm kick‑off at a stadium just 12 miles away. Some fans will travel from north of Tyneside down to Sunderland only to be taken straight back up again on escorted coaches, before being forced to return to Sunderland after the match.
Over recent weeks, RAWA, Sunderland AFC, Newcastle United, NUST and the FSA have worked intensively behind the scenes to offer a safer, more proportionate alternative. We produced a detailed mitigation plan covering behaviour, travel, stadium operations and policing. We asked Northumbria Police to look again at their position. We highlighted the gaps in the SAG process. We pointed out the complete absence of supporter consultation in the seven months since the last derby. Despite all of this, Northumbria Police have refused to reconsider. We still have not seen a convincing explanation for why a bubble is needed. It leaves fans wondering if this is an exercise in cost cutting and convenience.
We at RAWA are gutted for the travelling Sunderland fans who will be impacted by this, and we have no doubt that these arrangements will be reciprocated for Newcastle fans for the return fixture. Where do we go from here?

We call upon Northumbria Police and the relevant authorities to reconsider their position, provide greater transparency around the evidence and rationale underpinning their decision, and demonstrate a genuine willingness to engage with the people whose lives and experiences are directly affected.
Supporters are stakeholders in this game. They are not an inconvenience, an operational burden or an afterthought.
The people who give football its identity deserve more than to be treated as its biggest problem.
And above all, let us be absolutely clear:
Football belongs to its supporters, not the institutions that find them inconvenient.

RAWA Statement on the Proposed Tyne–Wear Derby Bubble
A bubble match means away fans cannot get their ticket unless they travel on the official, police‑escorted coaches. No choice of transport, no freedom to plan your day. It places blanket restrictions on thousands of ordinary supporters. This would be the first bubble in the history of the Tyne–Wear derby, imposed after a fixture with only three arrests and described by police as “largely without incident.” There has been no consultation with supporters at any point in the seven months since that game.
Red and White Army is extremely concerned that such a drastic and restrictive measure has been pushed through without proper evidence, without meaningful engagement, and without any attempt to work with supporters on a proportionate plan.
The SAG minutes released this week raise serious questions. They show that concerns from the March derby were discussed, but they do not show any detailed evidence pack, incident data, intelligence summary or formal risk assessment being shared. The meeting appears to have centred almost entirely on a managed coach operation, with no alternative options formally presented, tested or compared. Supporter consultation didn’t happen before the recommendation was made, and “engagement” was only mentioned as something to do afterwards.
There is no sign of a balanced assessment of risk. Issues linked to independent travel were noted, but there is nothing to show these were weighed against the risks introduced by a compulsory coach operation. There is no distinction between different types of supporters, despite acknowledging that the vast majority behave responsibly. And there is nothing to show that targeted, less restrictive measures were even considered before deciding a bubble was the only answer.
Prior to receiving the SAG minutes (obtained via a Freedom of Information request), RAWA, the clubs, NUST and the FSA produced a detailed mitigation document. It sets out practical, proportionate steps covering behaviour, travel, stadium operations and policing. These include enhanced voluntary coach travel, managed rail options, alternative walking routes with larger buffer zones, targeted deployment at known congregation points, and strong fan‑led communications. Together, these measures offer a workable, collaborative approach that tackles the risks identified without removing supporter choice.
We have asked Northumbria Police to reassess the decision in light of these mitigations and the clear gaps in the SAG process. So far, they have refused to do so.
David Rose, Vice Chair of RAWA and Deputy CEO of the Football Supporters’ Association, said:
“A bubble is a backwards step for football policing. It strips away supporter freedoms, applies blanket restrictions to thousands of law‑abiding fans, and ignores a decade of progress in how high‑risk fixtures are managed. Supporters deserve better.”
Based on the information released to date, RAWA does not believe the case has been made that a compulsory bubble is necessary, proportionate or justified. We continue to urge Northumbria Police and partner agencies to revisit the decision and work with supporters and clubs on a safer, more balanced plan that respects both safety and supporter rights.
Supporters remain ready to work constructively with all stakeholders. What we need now is a willingness from Northumbria Police to do the same.

NUST fully supports this statement from @RedAndWhite2017
We have worked closely with RAWA, both clubs and the FSA to jointly develop and present a detailed package of sensible, proportionate alternatives to the proposed derby bubble.
This has been a genuine collective effort, putting rivalry aside to protect the rights of all supporters while prioritising safety.
We stand firmly alongside RAWA in calling for Northumbria Police to reconsider this decision and engage meaningfully with the constructive solutions we have put forward together.

Just a reminder….
Once the Last Post is played today on the bugle, there’s supposed to be period of silence. That is not an indication to start clapping.
Hopefully the club put it across on the screens and tannoy correctly, and people follow along appropriately.

REMEMBRANCE DISPLAY – SUNDAY
As we look ahead to Sunday’s remembrance display at the Stadium of Light, we wanted to make supporters aware of a change to what they may have become accustomed to seeing in previous years.
On this occasion, we will not be doing a display for Zagreb ng the display in a reduced capacity across two stands rather than the full stadium.
This has not been an easy decision, but the demands of the fixture schedule mean that completing a full-stadium display simply isn’t possible on this occasion.
What remains unchanged is the meaning and importance of the occasion. Remembrance is about coming together to honour, remember and pay our respects to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. That message is every bit as powerful, regardless of the scale of the display.
We hope supporters will join us in making Sunday a fitting and memorable tribute.

It take as around a week to do a full stadium without any fixtures in between.
It simply would not be possible to do it in 2 days, it’s asking a hell of a lot of the volunteers, most of which are working so wouldn’t be able to give their time until after work on Friday.
