There's calls for a singing section to be introduced on another thread, but I think even if I had a ticket in there I still couldn't feel the need to sing the 'Bruno in the middle' song. Its cheesiness makes me cringe tbh; I'm struggling to think of another NUFC chant over the decades that makes me do that. Each to their own, of course.

Never sang that shite either - fucking embarrassing stuff. At least when Liverpool started it 'John Arne Riise' fit the tune correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I'd be all for getting a mobile signal in there and leaving it at that, with no wi-fi. The less 'fan experience' bullshit that's at St James', the better. I know others will disagree but we have enough consumerism attached to football, the crowd having the mindset that they're there to predominantly consume and be entertained rather than engage is to the detriment of the atmosphere. That mindset is already instilled in all of us to a certain extent anyway and with some more than others, so we don't need to hand them the keys to making things worse by encouraging the idea that the match is just something that's just going on in the background while they're on their phones. Look at most gigs now, they're an absolute joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just signed Lovenkrands and he scored. 45 mins of signded on a free.... regardless of song 45 mimd of pure noise was unbelievable. The best songs are often one-offs. Leeds away in 2003 was a particular favourite of mine; the 'Peter Ridsdale is our friend' song (based on the old 'Harry Roberts is our friend song' - don't sing that in front of the matchday police young'uns) which got more and more verses added over the course of the game. Fucking marvelous. 'Have you ever seen a mackem in Milan' in Duomo square that same year - great stuff. Also, a one which sticks out from a home game was Arsenal trying the wind-up when Shearer was injured for most of the 97-98 season; 'he's only got one leg' to the tune of Blue Moon, instantly met with 'he only needs one leg'. Etc etc and so on and so forth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC91 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The sad thing is if you had 5k at front of leazes or gallowgate singing and no one else joining in it would still be vast improvement and naturally would spill over more. I know we not gonna get 49k singing but get some lads together and get some fucking noise generated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst are always your comic book big blockbuster efforts - constant fucking waffle from knackers. I've heard less patter during the films when I listen to directors commentaries - and at least they have both been asked to do it and know what they're on about. I will admit I get irritated by the smallest sound in a cinema - it ruins the immersion and the willing suspension of disbelief for me; but they are concepts that are beyond half the twats who fill cinema audiences it seems.

jack j Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I know the shite atmosphere gets put down to the old folk alot but is there many younguns, lads in there teens early 20s about anywhere in the ground trying to create something like level 7 was?

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I thought the atmosphere was really good second half of last season with what I imagine is largely the same group of people - there are lots of contributing factors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
