Match Atmosphere

Actually heard some chants that I’ve not heard outside of away ends. I’m up in level 7 so couldn’t tell but it sounded like Strawberry corner.

 

“This club is my club” was particularly audible. Would be great for the home fans to expand their songbook a little.

Do you think the fact that away games are almost a closed shop is affecting it?

 

Obviously I don't want to go over old ground with the loyalty points debate but if you've got the same 3k or so doing all the aways expanding the songbook, then they get scattered all over SJP for the home games they aren't going to catch on as easily. 

 

A lot of the chants I know are from my Uni days when I used to do a decent number of aways.

I’ve been as critical as anyone of atmosphere but was v good yesterday. 
 

Still need a singing enclosure to create a constant base level atmosphere for every game, but when St James gets going like yesterday it’s hard to beat and becomes the bear pit it should be.

Christ alive, the state of that goalmouth scramble. Proper football, the way proper football men like it.

[huss9]

its so tense at times in these final few games. so much to play for, seems some people are understandibly unable to relax enough to sing unless we're winning.

Still think Keegans debut goal v QPR for us is still the most mental goal celebration I've seen anywhere like.

I'd imagine the "keep politics out of football" lads will insist on it.

Must be one of the best anthems in football this one, sang by local lads who support the club.

Without doubt the best. Lucky enough to go to a hibs/hearts game to see it first hand. The one after they beat Rangers in cup final in 2016 is brilliant.

It’s been strongly advised to by the powers that be so I’d say we will as we took the decision to with the death of the Queen.

That had a negative impact on the vibe didn’t it? May be remembering this wrong? 

[jack j]

Do Hibs sing that song during a game or just when it's played for them?

Find it abit meh me when it's just supporters singing along with summit me. All abit plastic

beautiful.

if that was us, we would have raced thru it all in 30 seconds and mumbled half the words.

a full crowd singing the blaydon races at the right pace with the right words would be fucking phenomenal.

That's not going ballistic, that's a spoon.

I hope that those who divulge get their throats nice and lubricated with some shit pints pre-match on Sunday, ready for 90 minutes of noise.

 

We should be talking about this as the best it's been inside St James' for years to come. 

 

Buzzing for it.

[Hebburn]

ENJOY THE GAYYYYMEEE!

Think it was more due to the 2mins silence TBH. Although no royalist myself (Bournemouth was the only game I didn’t take my seat until whistle for KO and stood on concourse with a few others until that and the anthem was over) the national anthem on this occasion might actually be a timely wake up call and get the crowd going from the off ?‍♂️

All the home League Cup games were flat tbf. Even the Semi Final was apart from the last 5 mins. Different mix of crowd in for them.

Eh? The Leicester home game and the Southampton home game were rocking, barring the nerves kicking in in the last 20 of the semi.

The Southampton home game was anything but rocking in the leazes end like, bar the first and last ten mins.

 

Would honestly say it was louder against Southampton last week mate.

 

Think it'll be excellent on Sunday like, looking forward to a good day on the drink before and imagine our crowd will be right up for it ?

 

I'd agree, was in level 7 for the semi and it was poor, Leicester was good but was in gallowgate and that's the thing, it can seem a completely different atmosphere depending where you are in the ground.

[Sima]

Can't wait to be back in the Gallowgate on Sunday.

Was in the Platinum Club Gallowgate Wing last weekend and it was fucking lifting.

[Hebburn]

Was top back corner of Leazes (east stand side) last week and it was terrible even when we were winning, i felt a bit awkward singing on my own, quite a few empty seats around aswell.

Southampton was shite! Couldn't believe how bad it was. Leicester was better but not as good as your typical home PL game. Bournemouth and Crystal Palace both dead as well.

It was the league game with the forced mourning for the old grifter
