Sadly I think a lot of our fans have this mindset where they believe the flag displays at the start is essentially a great atmosphere,

This is the reason I don't think wor flags should do one for Wembley this time

I hate our fans me like. Bunch of utter cunts.


disagree. This is social

media imho.

 

our fans are the much the same as any id imagine. I do know that lads I’ve met following Newcastle have become some of my best pals - going to inter away or Bruges and wondering round these foreign city squares and bumping into more so many familiar faces was like walking down Percy street or a pub crawl down shields road, wallsend high st. Football has changed and recent success has changed our fan base / attractiveness to fkin SM clowns and hangers on. But most of the lads snd lasses who’ve been with us through thick and thin are good crack.

Think the only chance atmosphere wise we have is a constant rendition of Eddie Howe’s Black & White army taking off at some point during the game.

 

Gone are the days where you’d get Geordie Boot Boys, a constant Howay The Lads, or Blaydon Races booming out.

 

Sad state of affairs.

Take a look at the atmosphere thread on the bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk forum tonight. I know we're a long way from them currently, but, holy shit, sounds like they've absolutely sold out.

Just had a quick look absolutely dismal reading the game as I knew it has gone.

I can’t believe people are too thick to not see the impact that getting behind the team has. Like Bruno said, when SJP is like it is against Arsenal we can do wonderful things.

 

Appreciate it’ll sadly never be that level every week, but if you can’t get up for a game as big as this when you should fuck off. Have a bit or pride in your football club and city. 

 

 

 

I always love a raucous atmosphere, but it does the sum total of fuck all in terms of winning trophies.  The players will always make these sort of statements.  There is zero connection between crowd noise and winning trophies.  If there were, then Arsenal would have won fuck all - ever - and Crystal Palace and West Ham would be London's most successful clubs.  We've won nothing in England for seven decades - I don't think this was because our atmosphere has been shit for 70 years.

 

I don't think getting on players' backs helps, of course.  But singing makes less than fuck all difference - though that isn't a reason not to do it.

Elements of Man City’s crowd are absolutely tragic 

 

Last night they’d lost to a last gasp Madrid goal and just after the ball hit the onion bag, the telly camera panned in on a Man City fan who had his phone up, nonchalantly filming Madrid players celebrating 

 

And the ridiculous fucking LED’s are so big most people in the ground are dazzled into blindness and can’t even see what’s happening on the pitch

I'm hoping our fans are less over-awed by the occasion this time.  I didn't think it was poor, it just wasn't as good as it could've been, but genuinely think everyone was just happy to be there. This time feels different. 

 

It was shite mate. I was right behind the goal in the lower tier and whilst everyone stood, very few were singing.

I hate the over-awed excuse.

 

9000 Whitley Bay fans weren’t over-awed by Wembley in the FA Vase 2009. The whole Whitley Bay end was constantly singing - including a few rousing renditions of “One Johnny Decker” - a tramp who danced for cigarettes [emoji38]

 

 

 

There always seems to be an excuse for our fans. 


“Oh a 12:30 kick off is just too early”

 

”Oh 3pm kick offs are always bad for atmosphere”

 

”We were nervous with what was happening on the pitch”

 

Maybe the majority of our fan base are there to spectate and couldn’t give a fuck about singing. As long as they can wave a flag they think they’ve done their bit.

I was there for that. Hilarious tbf. 
 

oh I’m not excusing anyone, however it had big occasion feel about just being there. Everyone went too hard the day/night before too. 
 

Hoping people turn up. Last Wednesday was magic in the ground and we need that at Wembley.

Aye all the excuses are bollocks man, watch the 2005 cup semi back and you'll hear "Newcastle Newcastle Newcastle" ringing round ground at 4-0 when Van Nistelrooy scores.

 

I was 14 at time at back near halfway line and no one was sat down...

I haven't been in years - and for those who don't know, I live in Sydney, so that probably seems like a reasonable excuse.  But it isn't really - I boycotted after KK was pushed out (I was a ST holder who would average c. 10 away games per season - yes, there were bigger 'superfans' than me, but that took a serious chunk of my income and time).  I would've lost 'the bug' either way after boycotting for so long.  Then I fucked off abroad because - in part without the 'structure' of matchdays - I wanted a different life.

 

I point this out because during my years as a 'regular' (c.1989 - 2008) the atmosphere was never perfect - in fact, it was often shite.  Thanks mostly I think to Wor Flags, I think the atmosphere has actually

improved over the last few years - I can promise any young'un, it really wasn't that good in the past a lot of the time.  @Heron and his pals get plenty of kudos on here - absolutely correctly - but you know what, they probably still don't get enough credit!

 

I can still remember the first time I started a chant - it was one of the biggest adrenaline rushes of my life.  You feel like a conductor or something.  After that, my ridiculously loud voice could be heard starting 'DRRRRRIIIIIINK DRINK WHEREVER YOU MAY BE' or 'Geordie Alouette' etc - or even sometimes one-off originals.  And I fucking loved it.  Some of you poor bastards likely had your eardrums knackered by my voice at away games, or on a Keith Barrett coach.  For that, I don't apologise :lol:.  It is also why I love reading @NUFC91's posts in this thread - they basically reflect my views as a younger bloke re atmosphere.  But if you think that we've lost something recently - we haven't.  That's been gone for decades now.

 

The point of this self-aggrandizing post is that I've been both - the lunatic spending every penny on watching NUFC, singing every song non-stop - and also the older, miserable bastard who through distance doesn't go anymore.  If you've got a Wembley ticket, make as much noise as you can - this is the entire point of all those shite afternoons in the arse end of nowhere, or watching shite NUFC teams lose at home vs weak opposition.  I've been to Wembley four times, and we lost every bastard time.  My Charity Shield programme in 1996 has got Warren Barton's signature on it - which, bless him, sums it up.  I'd have been even more fucked-off if we'd sat there like day-tripping mutes.  So don't sit on your hands - you'll regret it if you do.

 

Cheers :)

her Google eyes, her broken nose , her raggy gash etc. haven’t heard that in a while maybe since championship seasons away at the likes of Barnsley or Preston - with big allocations and loads of pissed up younguns :) 

 

anyway I digress - great post mate as a non exile and veteran of Barrett (who’s back going now btw) and Seiftts buses to a middle aged fart who will still be singing his heart out on the 16th!

Can't wait for the 16th mate - and I'll be one of the daft cunts singing at a telly in a bar in Sydney at stupid AM with other like-minded daft bastards!
