Wandy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 3 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said: Think there's still a large element of the more vocal support being kept out since giving up season-tickets in protest of Ashley, and a large section of fans who were happy to go along with those days still occupying those seats. Completely true. And there is going to need to be a big rethink by the club on how to turn this around. If they expand the Gallowgate to Level 7 then there has to be a big resuffle of season ticket holders and the entire existing Gallowgate below Level 7 to be made into a safe-standing singing end. As a fanbase our songbook is dreadful at home and a newly created Kop end can help remedy that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, let it build naturally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Be loads of talk about our mega rich owners, but it didn't take mad Saudi cash to get us to a cup final. What a couple of wasted decades. Fuck it though, howay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was for sure a straight red. That is not what was needed. Tripps and Schar tried to calm him down and then he gets tossed off the pitch. Hope this is a learning experience for him. That was terrible. What a wanker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it a few times, to win something now would be fucking glorious, for obvious reasons but also so people couldn't use the the 'YOU BOUGHT IT ALL WITH BLOOD MONEY' shite. Naturally, due to our owners and the fact every fucker else does it, we'll spend a lot in the coming years but I'd absolutely love to get some success before then so it doesn't take away from the work Eddie and the lads have done.

Bellis80 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Would love to know what other grounds people have been to for our atmosphere to be considered so shit we need to do something drastic. It’s at least as good as anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck… Feel so sorry that he’s not going to see the next chapters of his beloved Newcastle United. He would have enjoyed tonight. Won’t be quite the same again. Final whistle had me in tears… ?

Wilson Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Re the comments about atmosphere, my usual seat is in the Milburn 2 blocks up from the gallowgate corner flag, generally feels subdued. I could only manage to get me and the bairn at the back of level 7 tonight, leazes West corner, first time since I had me seat there when it was the singing section and to be honest, we enjoyed it. Standing for the most part, plenty of singing, counteracting their lot when they tried to make a bit of noise, other than an (understandably) edgy 20/25 mins in the 2nd half I couldn't fault it. Anyway, it could be better but it could also be a hell of a lot worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
