Match Atmosphere

[Benwell Lad]

Blaydon Races sang properly is great but in the old Leazes End, by far the loudest and greatest singing section we've ever had, You'll never walk alone was probably the most popular song, it was brilliant and of course back then the scousers hadn't retrospectively copyrighted it and decided to be offended by anyone else singing it.

My personal favourite was "In Newcastle's fair city" sung to the tune of Molly Malone with the unforgettable line "as she wheels her wheel barrow from Walker to Jarrow".

Best days ever and best place ever to be a Newcastle fan the old Leazes End.

I cut this together a few years back. I’ve been banging on about it for a good few years it seems…

 

I’d say you can start to hear it speeding up a bit by the early 90s but still wayyyyy better than the early 00s when I started going. 
 

 

I think that’s from the FA Cup match at Anfield in ‘84

The scousers are quite odd about it all.  It’s from a famous American musical, it’s hardly a local folk tune.

I miss the little white bull, used to be class with the bloke in his butcher jacket standing on the terraces in the gallowgate (used to know his name but lost in my memory over time - Tommy is in the back of my mind)
