Wallsendmag Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Went to the San Siro last season to watch AC Milan v Atalanta. Milan were utter shite and lost 1-0 but the noise at times was deafening, probably helped by the fact we weren't too far away from the ultras.

Curva Sud Milano Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 10 minutes ago, Chicken Dancer said: When I was at the San Siro for our game in 2023 I hadn't heard a home crowd as loud to be fair. Someone said to me after the game that you use speakers to amplify the sound (not sure if bullshit) but either way, it was deafening at times. No, the megaphone is only amplified to allow one person to communicate with the entire curva... many years ago, without an amplifier, there were six people with six megaphones along the entire length of the stand, now one is enough. The amplifier isn't the stadium's, it's ours, and once they let us carry all the equipment to a warehouse inside San Siro. Now we have to carry it all from our headquarters to stadium in 3/4 vans.

Maybe I explained myself poorly. There are 9,000 ultras in the second tier of San Siro and the person who has to get these 9,000 to sing can't be heard by everyone without an amplified microphone...but it's only his voice that's amplified not the chants (besides not being technically possible, it would be ridiculous to amplify the chants).

Curva Sud Milano Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 To give you an idea of how long the Curva is... the one framed at minute 14.03 is half its length, so you can understand why something amplified is needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's normal, everyone has their own way of supporting a team and that's right... in our country it's a cultural phenomenon that developed in a violent political context, that of the 70s, which, apart from the Ulster Troubles, no one in Europe has had (I was a child in the 70s and NEVER went out on Saturday afternoons and neither did my peers). That's why the Ultras were born in Italy and not elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich last season was example we do have a canny songbook just don't sing them. That game we sang about ex players lovenkrands, solano, Gutierrez, Rob lee/Andy Cole/David Kelly alongside a wide variety of other Newcastle songs . In terms of songbooks you look at Liverpool and Jamie Webster played bog part in getting new songs on the terraces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our back catalogue is sound, we just very rarely use it for some reason. The away games in the 00s and 10s used to have some belters, especially on the coach down. There’s so many good local folk songs that we’ve never adopted either, yet plenty used to/still get played at St James’. You’re right about Jamie Webster though, the Van Dijk song and others were coined by him IIRC. I’m genuinely surprised we don’t have our own version of ‘Allez allez allez’. I still get PTSD from the 2023 cup final and ‘we’ve got Bruno in the middle’ relentlessly being sang from the minute I got on the train to the minute I left.

Can't remember what away end it was but I remember we sang the gouffran song for an age. West Brom away we literally sang Peter Lovenkrands for 90 mins, that was a class away end that. I remember Stoke away we got battered 4-1 and 2nd half we just blasted out we still follow united... Edited May 13 by NUFC91 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Our songbook is fucking horrid mind. Our old school chants are good but you only ever hear them on an away day coach or by a handful of people singing them in the corner. We even have a chant with one word, 3 syllables that we had butchered. UNITED (Toon) - tragic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's interesting is arguably the 2 best away ends this season, Man city in cup and Chelsea both dropped to really low points and both allowed for a lot more you get fans to attend. Maybe we should go down the city route and do a ballot for younger fans so a generation isn't locked out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
