Fightin' !!

Fancy yourself as a bit of a contender?..like a good stoush now and then?..you'll find plenty of action throughout the Hunter




Newcastle

Newcastle has churned out some top notch "Blue-ers" for over a century. In the pre earthquake period you could count on seeing a nasty street fight, or even be privileged enough to be the recipient of a "King hit".

Newcastle's night of nights had to be, without question the Star Hotel Riots on Sept 19, 1979. The event that gave "Cold Chisel" (The undisputed kings of westies) the inspiration for their famous song

4000 people gathered to celebrate the last night of trading for the infamous hotel, before the Hunter folk decided to do what they do best; Drink heaps and punch people (especially coppers)
Some have argued that this was the Zenith of fighting in Newcastle, and the glory days have departed...some believe that Newcastle's best violence is happening now..

Inner City/Post Earthquake

Lately the violence has reached dizzying heights again to the point where City Council is considering CCTV surveillance. What a wonderful achievement by all the wannabe gangsters!..brave little soldiers bashing people with a ratio of 10:1

Cessnock:

A city full of proud blokes who are handy on the knuckle. Seems to stem from a combination of in-breeding and a tendency to take justice into your own hands, not to mention many are ex-inmates

Kurri-Kurri

Pretty much the same as Cessnock in all things really, except they've got those fucking stupid murals as well

Toronto

Aahh Tronna!!...full of blokes wearing Eminem t-shirts and black trackie-daks...need we say more?

Maitland

Lots of goaties, bushranger beards and flannelet shirts..some of the finest thugs of the Valley
