Last year was great but I'm a Dad now Back then - 21 years old, not a care in the world. Up there with 7 other mates. Was absolutely mint every week. Was genuinely like an away day every game. Absolutely class. Strawberry Corner does what it can but it's nowt like it was up there back then. Loved that season up there, easily 15-20 songs a game. Everyone sang loud and proud.

NUFC91 Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 44 minutes ago, Chicken Dancer said: I think the difference now (and I apologise for pigeon-holing a generation) is that the younger fans are more concerned about showing people that they're at the match via Snapchat & instagram than actually going with the purpose of letting loose and being a lunatic for 90 minutes. For me going to the match has always been the release at the end of my week - whether it be school, college, uni or now work. For 90 minutes you can just forget about whatever is going on in life and be with 50,000 like minded fans supporting the same thing. It seems these days that if you're a younger fan, recording fans singing or parts of the game are more important than actually creating an atmosphere. As @NUFC91 has said a good few times, moving like-minded fans to designated singing areas would definitely improve things. Having 2x singing sections in the Strawberry Corner and somewhere in the Leazes would improve the atmosphere tenfold. I think they've done something similar at the Emirates and it's had decent results. For the record, as a fairly well-travelled away fan, I must admit St James' is much better than many other grounds in the UK in terms of atmosphere, despite what we think. But that's not to say it couldn't be much better with some tweaks to seating arrangements. Exactly all it is, i would go as far to say if you had 2k in lower leazes stood all game it would be class given the strawberry corner. One of main drivers for new stadium is seat moves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I had some blokes laughing and taking the piss out of me last season for the clapping. I’m not sure how to describe it… (I think it’s after “Get into them and fuck them up “- which is also barely ever sung). I did hear the clapping from the Leazes in the Strawberry Corner last week however! I tried to explain to these blokes and they just took the piss further. “What’s clapping going to do man”. Completely missing the point. That’s the mentality you have to compete with now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
