Although in fairness we had a functioning substitute bench that day. Didn’t feel like there was that nervous lull that often punctuates the ground in a lot of games. Good, consistent noise from start to finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if they muffle the mics for live games? Wonder no more. The answer is yes. I’ve been saying this for a while. Don’t judge any match atmosphere via TV. They do it to muffle out profanities etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Strawberry corner was relentless as always yesterday. I really hope the club puts a singing /standing area in the opposite corner too. Was constant noise pretty much all the way through, of course it could be louder but it's a good start when songs are being started and spread from different sections.

Wallsendmag Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Kept checking the website all day yesterday and at 4pm managed to get a ticket in the back row of the Strawberry Corner. First time I've been in there for a couple of years and it's absolutely brilliant! Just constant singing from start to finish. They never let up! A bigger standing area is a must because the difference it makes to the atmosphere is unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere in there is class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the same seat as last year and tbh haven’t really found a great deal of difference to last year, atmosphere-wise (obviously some games are always better than others). Yet others on here, and elsewhere, will say it’s rubbish in comparison. But if you were someone who was used to getting in and around the Strawberry corner, and you’re now in L7 or somewhere, you can fully understand why that person would think it is rubbish in comparison. So that kind of leads me to coming round to the way of thinking that it’s not necessarily the ballot itself that’s the major issue, it’s more the not being able to control where you sit. Not sure there’s a particularly straightforward way of sorting that out, but if they could come up with something it might help massively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) take the example of the lads on here that were congregating in the Leazes last season and had created a mini singing area they can’t congregate there any more I can’t understand why it’s not possible to allow seat selection, loads of entertainment events have greater demand than supply but you can still choose a seat Edited December 3, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only two domestic away games this season so far. Both were fine but obviously the greater numbers and dare I say surprise of the performance from a 2nd string team over our long standing nemesis probably added to the atmosphere. Ive got Chelsea and Luton remaining this season. Expecting a great atmosphere at Chelsea providing we don’t have a car crash start to the game. Luton I’m intrigued to find out. Not the biggest overall allocation but at least half going have over 160 points. Absolutely awful date for the game mind day after Black Friday and not the cheapest to get to with everyone vacating London etc that weekend for the holidays.

Sifu Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Another thing to consider with today is with bowl type/shaped stadiums (such as new WHL, the Etihad etc), the atmosphere will always feel off to some due to how spaced out the away fans are from each other.

We have some absolute saddos who have no life outside of supporting Newcastle who appoint themselves as 'hardcore' fans. Most of their arguments this season are stupid anyway. They hate the members ballot for reasons I can't understand - the people getting tickets are basically the same as last season when it was first come first serve. The 'poor' atmosphere is blamed on 'tourists' when it was regularly appalling during the Ashley years (when the stadium was full of 'hardcore' fans who stood by the club when times were rough).

GeordieT Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Empirically and from games I’ve been to this season, what is considered ‘shit atmospheres’ correlates almost perfectly to dire performances. Makes you wonder… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
