Thumbheed Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 One of the best things about this club at the moment. Love the player/fan interactions angle they take too, just adds another layer to it all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I feel like these guys consistently get the displays right and are clearly ran by proper well meaning fans full of positivity. The timing of the Joelinton and ASM ones couldn’t have been better this season. I honestly think they’re up there with the new owners and manger for the improvement in atmosphere around the ground. Much respect to you all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 There's been many great things since the takeover but having these beautiful lot back is right up there! They help create the best atmosphere in England! There is nowhere currently better! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wolves and Leicester games weren’t great for the majority, but when the ground does get going nothing compares anywhere. I still think to generate a constant din, the Leazes Curva Nord singing section would be a welcome return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I want my ST back if it's not the Gallowgate I'm not sure if I'd want one. Wouldn't mind the East Stand as long as it's in the closest block to the Gallowgate but the thought of Level 7, the Leazes of Milburn Stand doesn't appeal anywhere as near as much.

With me getting tickets for various parts of the ground these last several games there is a noticeable dip in atmosphere in large parts of the ground. Game attendees has changed over the decades for sure. Family’s, Couples, OAPs, Post shoppers. STs should be sent out a survey and then bunch them all together on the upper tiers and get those saying they’ll be more vocal bunched up. This would happen naturally before all seater stadiums. Have a stadium monitor roaming around suitability testing everyone and serving anyone sitting quiet in the original 36k areas a seat exchange notice ?

TheGuv Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) I got a free ticket in the Platinum Club, right next to the Directors Box last night. Wonderful view, and I could pre order a pint for half time. Other than that, dreadful experience. Didn’t feel comfortable standing up on an attack, not singing (obviously) until the end. That privilege costs you £950pa. Safe standing in the Leazes and/or Gallowgate would make a huge difference. It’s fair game if you’ve got a ST in recent years, fair play. But i do think a lot of the old guard/singers could well be locked out forevermore depending on how general sale goes. Personally? I want to be singing and standing for the majority of the game - and the corner is the only regular outlet for that - and there’s no way you’re getting in there. Im surprised it’s not spread more either side tbh, though I did notice more standing further down the Corner into the Lower levels which is good.

I wasn't there last night as I was working but just meant In general. Even since the takeover I've come out and thought that was unreal. Then Watched the highlights and all you hear is the away fans 90% of the game. Don't want to sound a whiny cunt like. I love the flags and what them lads have done of their own back is unreal but still think the atmosphere could be so much better Don't mean thats for them to sort mind just posting it on this thread Edited April 21, 2022 by jack j Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 safe standing would improve things dramatically. if only to shift the more passive fans elsewhere. speaking of atmosphere, and the mackems saying it's manufactured... when it comes to the flags they're dead wrong (shock) - but I do feel a bit like that when it comes to the PA and music. 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!

There’s work to be done on the match day experience. In certain sections the music is painfully loud pre match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, any atmosphere before or after the game hasn’t got a chance of developing with the music blasting out. At least give it 5 mins after the final whistle before drowning the crowd out.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Still think you've got to look at moving the away fans to get the atmosphere going. Some provocation and reaction would help. I can't see them being taken down from level seven, but even putting them back in the Milburn/Leazes corner so there's our lot on either side would make a bit of difference.
