Gallowgate Toon Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 The pre-match and early atmosphere was class in the Gallowgate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Was absolutely gutted to see the amount of people leaving at the final whistle. After everything the players and management have put in this year and the champions league … fucking hell. They deserved better than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After everything the players and management have put in this year and the champions league … fucking hell. They deserved better than that. I just came on here to post about this. Not got to as many games as I would have liked this year for various reasons. So not really in a position to judge too much. But in all of the players pics. The ground looks half empty. After all of the adversity this year and the shit hands we’ve been consistently dealt. They deserved our support there. Great connection between the fans and the squad since Howe has come in. Seems weird that so many would fuck off. Either that or the average match going fan since the takeover has become far too plastic/entitled/expectant. Delete as appropriate.

Helps when you've got a panto villain (their goalie) and a shit ref; everyone generally united in noisy pissiness. FWIW, it sounded a lot better on the TV than it usually does.

Jonas Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) No matter how many other clubs have the same problem and for no matter how long its been the case, after a negative result this topic appears with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season. I've accepted that's 21st century (earlier really) support and that were really comparing things to a few years in the 90s Relative to other games against Brighton in any generation it was probably one of the better ones BUT nobody left early for laps of appreciation in the 90s. Not being able to forgoe catching the first metro or bus and save 20minutes social time away from the pest of having to go to games once a season is shit support and shit attitude in the current circumstances Edited May 11 by Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Standing in the corner it was ace, as ever Also rowdy on the concourse pre game and half time Away game support at a home game Add rails to more parts of the ground and it’d be a huge step to a better atmosphere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 It is hard for me to criticise in a sense - I'm no longer an active participant in the atmosphere (unless my voice carries 10,000 miles) - but while I did think it wasn't great today, I do think that generally the atmosphere through the TV is as good as it pretty much ever was post-Taylor Report and post-new Milburn / Leazes. It really doesn't sound that bad to me (in terms of modern football). During my c.20 years as a ST holder, I never thought it was ever that great anyway - it definitely paled in comparison to away games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a great day down London watching The Heed win the Trophy. On the rattler back home now. Fair play to you. Must have been a long day, but good weather and a great outcome ?

pedro111 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I thought the atmosphere was very good in the gallowgate first half and decent in the second and while yes people did leave before the lap of honour I reckon a good 80% stayed. What didn't help was that they took an absolute age to get it sorted while the gadgie slavered on the mic. I think a lot left because of that.

Also I just don't feel the connection to the players that most seem to. I just want to see Newcastle United win, I don't really care who does it for us.

Wilson Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Eh, I didn't think it emptied at the final whistle like? Loads, myself included, left their seats and walked closer to the pitch... looked like the vast majority were still in the ground to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was heaving outside the Gallowgate right after the FT whistle. Similar levels to a normal game if I'm being honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 The mass exodus for chicken nuggets and chips when Veltman went down on 38 minutes was mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) I left at the whistle cause I was dehydrated and my head was banging - I really needed a drink. No other reason. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the same for others. It was hot. Edited May 12 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’ll never change but this pisses me off so much. Leaving on 38 and 85 to get a pint or catch an earlier bus/metro. Whats the point of going to a game if you’re happy to miss potentially 15-20 mins of football. I was happy when we scored in ET yesterday thinking of the people who’ve missed that live as they can’t possibly go 90 minutes without some of watered down lager in the ground.

Minhosa Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Overall I felt it was poor yesterday tbh. Thought the lap of honour was a really poor show from the fans. By the time the players had finished the Gallowgate it felt like there was only a few thousand people there at most. Personal opinion is that they should send the players and coaches around first so we can recognise their efforts and then do a second wander/amble around with their families as it just looked like a trek around a park on a Sunday morning with your kids at points .

RR15 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Gallowgate corner before the game was like the PSG pre-game atmosphere. Was like an away game concourse - my hands bright red from the PSG ultra style drumming beat . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
