Singing Section at SJP - Poll  

216 members have voted

  1. 1. Would you want a large singing/standing section at St James' Park?

    • Yes. I'm an existing season ticket holder and I would want to be a part of it
      33
    • Yes. I'm an existing season ticket holder but wouldn't want to be part of it, but I would move to a seat somewhere else if the singing section was to be where I currently sit....as long as I was happy with the new seat.
      13
    • No. The atmosphere is fine as it is.
      3
    • No. The atmosphere needs to improve but this isn't the answer.
      8
    • Yes. I'm just a member at the moment but would want one in the singing section.
      78
    • Yes. I'm just a member at the moment but would want a season ticket in a non-singing section. But a singing section needs to happen to let people who want to sing be together

When was the last time "N and an E..." was sang? We've got plenty simple ones that have been sang for years that we rarely hear anymore. 

 

Heard it on the tube on Sunday but can't remember last time I heard it inside either SJP or an away ground. Shame really.

That away end on Sunday was brilliant. Continuous noise from start to finish and beyond. Was looking forward to it all week as a celebratory atmosphere and it didn't let me down!!

 

One of the stewards at halftime said it's the best atmosphere he has witnessed at a match.

I'm sure there's songs from the likes of Knopfler, Sam Fender, we could make something original from and make our own. 

Surely there's one or two of those Fender numbers ripe for a chant, the one's with the oh oh oh oh oh choruses

Oh oh oh oh oh Big Joe

Oh oh oh oh oh Bru-no 

Oh oh oh oh oh Szobo

Hypersonic missiles

that type of malarkey

It's one of the most continuously loud crowds I can remember hearing on TV. Probably a fair few people who turned it on and thought Stamford Bridge had a great atmosphere.

My pet hate is Stand up if you love the Toon.

 

Might be because my knees are fucked but mostly because you will all be sitting down after two minutes! 

 

Prefer the Southampton, Brighton, Leicester natural rise of the crowd... Where everyone was on their feet willing the lads across the line.

Been sang at pretty much every home and away game this season.

 

Must be by a very small pocket of fans then cos I've been to pretty much every home game and a few aways and I've never heard it inside any ground for ages.

 

Brought a smile to my face, and of course I joined in, when I heard it on the tube on Sunday but never heard it repeated inside the ground. Used to be one of our most prominent songs as well in the 80s and 90s.

Get this bloke out with a mic before kick-off every game until everyone sings it properly. 

 

Nearly as good as my mate James Lowery who used to join the Happy Cats (band fronted by Marty Craggs ex Lindisfarne) on stage to do it! Some of you might know James was at every game home and away until Ashley showed his true colours

I just think lifting songs for Richarlison, Mane, etc is a bit wank. Just my opinion. You hear Man Utd and Liverpool fans come out with original songs consistently. We copy them. 

Wonder how many clubs have versions (bastardisations :rant:) of Blaydon Races?:)

Those are mint though and should happen more often (though Albert and Robert should also get an airing). 

 

Changing our old songs to match current players if it fits, Fabien Schar could easily have that chant now. It's ripping off other clubs I don't like. 

 

 

 

This should just be a given, how the feck is not already.[emoji38]

I've never ever known demand for tickets being anywhere near what it is now. Even during the Keegan era, whilst home games were always sold out, it wasn't too difficult to get hold of away tickets and under SBR home tickets were usually still on sale a week before the game apart from for the really big games v the likes of Man Utd and Liverpool.

Wonder how the SJP atmosphere will be affected by the ballot system... will it likely mean there will be different people in each area for most matches? Or has it been like that anyway with the old system?

Depends if members can choose seats or not.

 

If it’s literally a lottery and seats are allocated by a computer then I can’t see it having a positive effect on atmosphere as it’ll be impossible to have consistency with the same likeminded people being together each game, other than the ST holders obviously. 
 

Last season I found a group of people I really like being around, a mix of ST’s and members who all wanted to stand up and be vocal. So I’d buy a ticket there every game. 

 

I’ll be pissed off it that camaraderie is now over because of this fucking ballot.
