Some big bloke who couldn't stand easily expected the whole Gallowgate not to stand up at any stage of the game because he couldn't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted September 19, 2025 Share Posted September 19, 2025 Seen loads of comments from different supporters about how impressed they were with our fanbase last night. We might not have won, but some things are more important and we’re getting a reputation for have the BEST crowd/atmosphere in football. So everyone of us should be proud!

Scoot Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 Brilliant in the Strawberry corner again tonight and part of the gallowgate nearest to that section.

Years ago the OAPs would have been banished to the East and old West Stands to make room for the new blood coming in but now they just sit there groaning on like an atmosphere vacuum.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 Poor except for a few moments, possibly because the game itself was quite easy. The speed of songs is a critical issue though, they’re just so fast that they run out of steam and people can’t keep up. Take off 25bpm and it would make a lot of difference.

You can't have your "home" end, the end famous for creating the bulk of the noise, the end the team prefers to kick towards 2nd half being full of 60 and 70 year olds who don't like standing up unless it's to go to the toilet.

jack j Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 The pre match 'dj' was fucking horriffic Playing doris day at 19.45 then the champions league tune as they came out the tunnel That section behind the goal in the leazes was still practically empty with 5 minutes of the 2nd half gone Then a mass exodus all round the ground when the fourth official put 2 minutes up at full time...champions league wins aren't exactly ten a penny to a club like ours. Try and stay 2 extra minutes and give the lads and manager a clap ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Jude twice, that shit version of Blaydon Races twice, Local Hero played when there was no one on the pitch, fucked the champions league music up. Zzzzzz sack the wonky minute hosting Titend. Atmosphere was dire. If you cannot get up for a game like tonight why bother even going? Was like the Bradford game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted October 21, 2025 Share Posted October 21, 2025 This isn’t an excuse for the degree of how poor it was, but the new format has diluted the importance of these games. I did not go into this feeling like it was as massive a game as in the days of groups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
