For those who judge atmospheres via TV this game was a prime example when Sky had Mics all on and weren’t muffling the sound to remove swearing etc.

 

Was so loud the sound distorted at times…

Even the season before it was great, remember Cardiff on a Friday night bringing 3k up, never heard the sheep shaggers from the Gallowgate due to the Curva Nord.

 

Was an great night that was, complete domination on and off the pitch. The camaraderie in L7 was absolutely brilliant.

Was a brilliant night. Atmosphere was superb. We were in the Three Bulls before the match and my mate from work rang me to say he was in a taxi with Gazza and they were on their way to meet me. 10 mins later he comes strolling in with Gazza and the place just went mental! There were a few Cardiff fans in there and even they were all over him.

 

It got a bit too much after a while so we went to Pacific for a game of pool. Played Gazza twice, he wanted to play for money and I remember he only had about 8 quid on him! Then we went off to the match and Gazza stayed in Pacific.

 

Woke up the next morning to the news that he'd been arrested outside the Gate

I was up in L7. What a weekend that was. Used to often get to me seat late that season. Always timed it wrong and was just a young, pisshead. So always cut it fine leaving the pub. Glad I didn’t that night  
 

Some lad had 5-0 Newcastle. Was counting his money and shouting about it to all and sundry. Think they scored in the 89th minute

Level 7 for that period was tremendous, all pissed up lads just wanting a laugh, great song book  and everyone was like minded.

Yeah. Not sure I’d want to go back because of the view and also because my right knee is totally fucked. I don’t fancy them stairs again  

 

But it really was top class up there. Had a ST for 2 seasons in L7 and it’s the most fun I’ve had at SJP. Regularly ended up 4-5 rows away from

your seat after a goal went in. 

[bobbydazzla]

Aye, that Cardiff Friday night was one of the best home games I’ve ever been to. Was in Curva Nord and it was going beserk

 

 

[NUFC91]

Remember up in level 7 back then alwaya a chorus of "we the best behaved supporters in the land...when we win. We the worst behaved supporters in the land when we lose.

Always sang

But We're a right bunch of bastards when we lose...

 

That Cardiff game I remember a load of their fans fighting like fuck with each other where the old car park to the side of the strawberry is.

Didnt realise they've got quite strong divides in their support from different areas til that night..

Was different fans then, can remember getting beat 2-0 at home off Blackpool early on and at 2-0 down late on we just sang chrissy houghtons black and white army for last 20 minutes.

 

We were in union rooms after a few Blackpool lads were saying how great the lads next to away fans were. Good times indeed

[Whitley mag]

Hopefully a raucous, relentless away end tomorrow whatever the result, needs to be like Spurs away in the league cup when we had that useless cunt Alnwick in goal.

I was at West Brom. One of the best away ends I've been in. Ever.

Hopefully they engage with proper fans and not wankers like Burnsie and John Sinclair.

Good illustration at the moment of how just 7k singing creates better atmosphere than 50k silent. We're never realistically going to get 50k singing regularly, but 7k like that -bolstered by more when things are going well should be doable with organisation.

[pedro111]

Our fans are back big time tonight like, it has to be said. Credit where credit is due!

I think NUST and NUSC have trust issues with their leadership for different reasons. Wor Flags are universally liked but that may be because there isn’t any perceived agenda. 
 

NUST rely on the fact that they sold lifetime memberships to cite their credentials as a representative fans body but if they’re honest they will know that most of the numbers are just that. 
 

People have issues with Daz Curry at NUSC but I’d say his finger is in the pulse more with the match going fan than the Tory TF cabal at the trust board. 

 

in an ideal world all the fans groups would get together and work together for the best interests of all. “In theory communism works” Homer J Simpson

Fans sounded quality on TV tonight.

[Lush Vlad]

Yep. Songbook still a bit repetitive and we don’t have many original chants (most clubs don’t these days). But were extremely loud from start to finish. 
 

Rightly so. If you can’t sing your heart out during a game like that. You never will.

Must have got his ticket in the ballot

 

God forbid I take my bairn off my pals ticket though!!!

What a waste of a fucking ticket.

[Sima]

Rules are only for the little people.

[Guest]

Sounded great on telly but I wish we'd not be so blatant in ripping other clubs' songs man. That Old Trafford is falling down one, just leave it for City I'm pretty sure some of 7k could be a bit more original.

[McCormick]

Hard to coordinate brand new songs with 7k people there though .
 

I remember when I was  young lad at St. James’ trying to start a chant I’d made up, thinking people would join in  . Response was brutal; odd looks and some old tosser shouting at me to sit down and pack it in. Mortifying. Still cringe thinking about it now.

Joke that like.

 

There's no chance I can get to an away now, because nobody passes on their ticket. I can understand the complaints of those stuck on 0/1/5 points who couldnt get tickets, but this sort of shit is fucking shite. Waste of a ticket, stick the prick in the home end.
