The support getting absolutely slaughtered on twitter right now from those who were there. Haven't heard a single positive comment about it. The home support getting mixed reviews tbf so maybe not all they're cracked up to be either.

Post some links?

There’s loads of tickets changed hands today around the square. 
 

The home fans were ok, It got loader when they scored their second….that said, even the ok beats SJP most of the time. 
I really can’t reiterate how utter shite our support has been though, in my opinion from everything I’ve seen it’s because a large contingent are utterly spannered and a good deal of them are just dick heads…..if I never hear the Anthony Gordon song again, it’ll be to soon.

I really think as many people as possible have to go to this NUST AGM coming up soon, with the club’s fan liaison person there. They need to be under no illusions about how pissed off people are with the ticketing situation.

NUST are part of the problem in a lot of peoples eyes though.

True, but it’s the only way of communicating directly with the club right now.

I remember when Rangers played in Seville they had a similar problem with terrible support and they blamed it on too many fans who haven't been in years or just wanting to go to the big day out getting tickets. My question is how is it even possible for these people to get tickets? It is so weird especially when you take into account the raucous away end at Old Trafford a week earlier.

 

Pound notes. A lot of people are hard up at the minute. Either they've not got the money to make the trip and they've given it a mate, or they've sold it on for a few hundred quid profit.

Apparently (correct me if I'm wrong) there was no allocated seats on the tickets. I know an unwritten rule of away games is people stand wherever they want to be with mates etc but you had people with tickets for upper able to get into the standing lower section, causing overcrowding, arguments and by the looks of things a fight or two.

Tbh I could have told you the atmosphere would be shite tonight - sane as Wembley in the CC final. 
 

- a lot of younger away travellers were in square or bars not ground

- lots of corporate / tourist fans 

- aye a few ppl overindulged but thus usually improves atmosphere 

 

I couldn’t do Dortmund I’m doing psg which is less attractive as a day out and the atmosphere will be better - just like Chelsea away in cup will be better than wolves. We can whinge but a lot if it’s just the popularity of football now, the success of the team and gentrified away  support

There’s allocated paddocks for the standing and a steward doing a very poor check on entry to the paddock, so you could really just go where you wanted to. 
the seated areas where accessed via the concourse that leads to the paddocks so yeah, all mixed.

Hopefully nobody tells the sheff Wednesday fans they'll be fuming

I think I’ve just come to the conclusion the support is fucking shit in terms of songs and inability to create any kind of consistent vocal backing.

 

Not even sure there’s an answer anymore you either accept it, or become an armchair fan, think I’m leaning towards the latter.

[geordiesteve710]

Two problems tonight.

 

In terms of the crowding, a steward told us that they moved every nufc fan with a ticket for the home end into the away terraces

 

The support to the team was shite. No if, buts or maybes it was wank and completely unacceptable. Far worse than wembley was in my experience of both.

[Dr.Spaceman]

I had an argument with a young lad who tried to tell me where to go after I said I'd rather watch Gateshead every week than have to go to the Signal Iduna.

We have morphed into a generic fanbase. Sing when you’re winning and mute when you’re not. Add in that we’ve got one of the most limited and plagiarised songbook and you have a pretty grim conclusion.

Anyone else cringe when they see social media posts along the lines of

"Love this, we've waited so long for it, what an experience, we'll be back"

 

Small time

One for the didn't happen of the Year awards a reckon

If you told half these cunts they couldn't make videos or post on social media from their trips away am convinced they'd stop going

[samptime29]

I was in home end close to away section and I must admit I was disappointed with away support. Just didn't sound that loud. 

 

Tbh the Dortmund support wasn't great. 

[Shadow Puppets]

Pathetic away area today. Everyone just treated the trip as one big piss up… huge amount of pissed moaning zombies.

 

(I don’t drink so it was fucking disappointing)

 

Why spend all that money and be off your face by the time you reach the stadium?

[Bellis80]

Had a great day.

I get that sentiment, but that should lead to a good atmosphere. That should mean you're unfazed by losing.That's pretty much what being a Scotland fan has been like most of my life (no expectations, just there to enjoy it) and we've always got class atmospheres.
