We were in the Upper Tier last night and it's very noticeable from there. You have the corner which comes across excellent then you have the lower and upper tiers getting up off their seats singing but the majority of the middle (which probably has 95% season ticket occupancy) just sit there and don't get involved. Another bugbear of mine is the "United" chant. Why shout "Toon" in between? It was always 3 claps in between which sounds much better, see below.... https://youtu.be/u_1usHbNj8g I chant New-ca-stle for the 3 claps. Actually fits and makes sense.

I wish he'd learn to read the crowd, and keep the music off after a big win, to let the fans celebrate organically. last night was a perfect opportunity to sing a few Howe songs for example, and show our appreciation. instead we got Primal Scream and Hey Jude again. meh, might sound nitpicky, and of course it's minor in the grand scheme of things, I just want things to be even minter! Aye, I agree with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) In light of the shameless copying going on maybe a little flag reminder that 'immitation is the sincerest form of flattery' or 'often duplicated never replicated' in red and white.

I love the atmosphere since the change of ownership and personally I think there’s a lot more involvement from most areas of the ground then there has been for a long while, that said, people go to the match for different reasons and vocal support is just one form. There always seems to be a badge of honour attached to signing at the match like it somehow makes you a better fan whilst the fella who sits beside me who’s had a season ticket for the best part of 50 years has arguably “supported” the team far more than the most of the twats who come stumbling in after 10 mins, shout and sing, leave on 25 because their bladder can’t take it, shout and sing again, leave on 40 because they can’t go 15 mins without a bottle of Carling then turn back up again around 53 mins. I suppose what I’m trying to say is that atmosphere is one thing but people go for different reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose what I’m trying to say is that atmosphere is one thing but people go for different reasons. Howe has commented on numerous occasions about how good the vocal support is and how much it's helped the team at home. I'm not sure how someone sitting there in silence taking up a seat is really contributing to that but each to their own. Like you say people go for different reasons amd at least they are there. When I go I like to give the players as much vocal encouragement as possible and I think they appreciate that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I’m not a fan of the amended “We love Newcastle, we do” from the previous “We love you Newcastle, we do”. Agree with the premise of using local tunes to create chants. Sam Fender’s output is well known enough now to adapt. Something with the tune is ‘Seventeen Going Under’ would be a start.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Rob needs to sack off the crappy chanty Lewis Ritson Blaydon Races like and bring this back. Price’s Jarrow Song used to be a pre-match mainstay in the early/mid-2000s and has been binned off anarl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpinho Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 The PA system needs to dial it back massively. Absolutely no chance of building an atmosphere pre match with fan chants or like you say to celebrate. We have a massive noisy enough crowd that is perfectly capable (speed aside) of singing the blaydon races or that hey jude one without it blaring at twenty million decibals over the pa system so loud that fans might as well not even speak.

I got in a bit too late at the weekend but when I was up for Watford I couldn't believe the volume. That Enemy song was absolutely ear-splitting from the Gallowgate-Milburn corner, could barely talk to me dad. Also I think they've got Local Hero timed really awkwardly, it's finishing way later than it should be doing I think. Just nitpicks like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
