Agree with what you are saying though. Aside from that there was a lad in the Gallowgate Upper just behind us with a huge megaphone which he was using to get the chants going! Lasted about 5 mins before the stewards took it off him, then 5 minutes before the end he started again so he either had another one or managed to get that one back I seen this lad on the way out of the ground, fair do's to him for taking some initiative. Pity the stewards felt it necessary to stop him? Feels like a word needs to be had with the stewards that unlike Ashley's version of nufc, not every fan will use an instrument like a weapon possibly. I also seen @Heron I'm sure, getting blocked by stewards trying to get back to the gallowgate before kick off Edited April 3, 2023 by NE27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But considering how magnificent everything else is about the club, I'd be lying if I said that the flatness of the home atmosphere doesn't irritate me. I've stood amongst some of the most vociferous NUFC support over the last 40 years, and that was generally when the team was utter shit, so to see it so bang average when the club is now the best it has probably ever been is frustrating to me. I know that society has changed and it can never probably be exactly like it was, but there is still room for improvement, and I absolutely know that we can get there too. So many plaudits in the media about the atmosphere yesterday. Martin Keown raving on Talksport, Gary Neville in commentary (we are ‘ferocious’ apparently). Our own players raving about home support. Think we should accept that we are relatively speaking a good crowd, at worst, and also that the experience of it (as someone who sits where I can get a ticket) differs acoustically depending upon where you are. I’m proud of our fans (particularly away). I think we all should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordJake Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Was in Leazes second tier yesterday, plenty of singing where I was aided by a particularly excitable jock next to me. Leazes east stand corner making a big effort as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really expected them to come up here and rinse us over the cup final but it never happened. They barely made a peep, which is exactly the norm for them when things don't go their way. Yeah, I was a bit surprised by them as well. Thought they'd be full of themselves and not exactly shy about it but they never really got going. In a general sense I don't think they have the same variety of songs they used to, say 10 year ago. Which might be why we don't given that every other song we sang use to be nicked from them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 If it's atmosphere you want, check out the moments after 12:53 on the match cam. Crank up the volume. It's EPIC. Blaydon Races an aarl. Inject it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC91 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Lot of game people dotted around yesterday. Seem more standing towards back of stands. Only thing i'm abit gutted about is not putting 1800 safe standing in leazes corner. Think 2 sections will sort it right out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye still think that section in NW corner would have been the place, would have been near away fans and got rest of Leazes going hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Was great in the Gallowgate yesterday. A lad I work with was in Leazes L4 under their fans and reckons a couple of vapes and coins were chucked. Can anyone confirm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
