I always think it's a mute point re atmosphere. That or should be contextualised. Goodison, when they're "on it" is a bear pit for eg. There's not a ground out there isn't lively when their teams doing well. Granted some supporters rally round their team if they're behind/struggling more than others tho but. I think we're particularly good after going a goal down. One of the main reasons we sacked off our season tickets was because the atmosphere at St. James was fucking dire, absolutely fucking purgatory. Not everyone, obvs, but in general. It was depressing af. Don't get me wrong, Ive been loads when we were rank on the pitch and the fans were great I just think that Ashley's NUFC had sucked the life out of it. Conversely, since the takeover, there's been moments watching home games on the snide when it's made the hair on my neck stand out. Bruno v Leicester being the moment, to my dying day, "I wish I was there" Probs a more modern trait but if the team ain't doing the bizz, most home fans are muted a bit, anywhere.

Not what Bruno said, tbf

Spuds should go get Ekitike and Toney

Harder than it looks, given we didn't win many ?

Good read. That bit about Leicester was shown on a graphic before their game away to Burton last night. Chronological time line of the last few seasons. Wild how they just imploded.

Someone mentions it higher up ? but the sneerers would've been more than happy had the whole project gone Pete Tong. "Gripping viewing" etc etc. Probs in the same way we found STID so hilarious, tbf Who gives a fuck if its got an "in house" vibe? It's already exposed Eddie as a foul mouthed demigod and Amanda as a ice cold deal bastard bitch. Plus we finish 4th. I'll be bladdered every episode

Quite liked Wolves. Largely based on the fact, as a young'un, I had Kenny Hibbert in my Toon team to play alongside his brother ? That and Steve Bull. Loved him.

Has to be further Italian input, surely? Can't imagine the AC Milan "team manager" has genuinely only come here to facilitate Sandro’s integration? Capiche?

Lose at Preston Mowbray walks Implosion

Aye, the cunts have pulled the ladder right up from under them. Boils my piss even more that the FCB allowed our turnover to fall so much.
-
None of that is true, other than yes, I would hate it ?
-
Agree there like but, personally, have never been bothered where we sit except when we had season tickets, obvs. Random games well sit anywhere.

Honestly man, you're probably the most dishonest "legacy" fan (sic) going. Putting yourself on this pedestal as if you put more effort into going to games than people who didn't get that access and who probs "couldn't be arsed" anyway. Jog on. It was a closed shop that you and your fellow "regulars" had access to. Now you don't.

Notwithstanding Man City and, before them, Chelsea took the piss but isn't the top and bottom of "modern" Top flight football that you have to get the big calls (transfers) bang on. If you don't, and you're general turn over can't accommodate huge levels of transfer failure, you're doomed. All about revenue.
-
Mightve had more to do with the fact you were part of a closed shop. Thankfully that's changed now. "Dedicated" ?????

Cheers for that. Fucking brilliant ?????? One of my all time "support actor in a comedy" character along with Superhans and Winston from Still Game ?

Concur. Mine are like The Queen Mum's

Tbf only things stopping me jumping on that particular bandwagon was my snide TV, beer fridge and puuure lazyness ?
