IzzyIsak Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Next week will be a brilliant atmosphere like (as long as we don't lose 3-0 tonight lol) then if we get through to the final West Ham will be a celebratory atmosphere. Then Liverpool after that. Next 3 home games should be bouncing. Edited January 24, 2023 by IzzyIsak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight at a cup semi final we are singing 'up the premier league we go....' feels a bit cringe. Expect higher standards from us no?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 used to love the shola song. think it was fulham away one year when the stewarts seemed to be totally bemused/amused by the song and the dance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I'd put the bevvies down, without wanting to sound like a patronising wanker. Those who didn't give their ST up before the takeover were in my eyes more or less gambling on the current state of affairs eventually happening: sticking it out until Ashley was going. Some saw that as wrong but I never did tbph, the debate on matchgoing fans on here and in general was tedious as fuck imo and has been since it started around 2014ish. They're no less or more Newcastle fans than me or anyone else. They stuck it out and are reaping the rewards for doing so. Same with those with a high amount of loyalty points. So fair enough to them. On top of that the atmospheres at games have been poor for years bar a select few games under Benitez and now Howe. Small adjustments need to be made in regards to singing section(s), safe standing, size of the family enclosure and it'll be class again. Who has STs now has no bearing on that. My own personal circumstances are I more or less had to chuck my ST, due to no longer qualifying as a junior (haha), the price hikes and the logistics of getting games whilst being at uni down in Derby. On top of that Benitez left and Bruce came in so there was extra incentive to chuck it. But regardless, my ST went from ~£220 for the 2018-19 season to £811 for 2019-20 and I could not justify paying that whilst a student who was to be moving and living down in the East Midlands given travel costs et cetera. I wish never chucked it now obviously but no one could've foreseen this wave of positivity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it'll be a big ask, logistically, to get a lot of the stuff down there. Even just a cursory conversation about the possibility might be worth having, just opening the dialogue with the powers that be at Wembley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As everyone else is planning, the group are planning around having to be down there sooner too though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both true. The first one used to be a regular occurrence. Remember the first as a bairn and me dad would roll his eyes and say "Let the lad watch the end of the match chances are she'll be there for hours".. Was funny when it happened during a break in play and you'd see someone in the East stand jump up and leg it down the stairs getting a round of applause on their way out!
