Northumbria Police Force just stood watching? Never
Which should then, according to this place, spark off our supporters (who need supporters to compete with).
If you're hearing away fans why aren't you singing against them/in reaction to them?
Why don't others help with the atmosphere instead of wanting another stand to do it? Are are you saying many want to enjoy an atmosphere rather than add to it or help create it? In fairness that's the impression I get, even from some who moved to the south stand.
You have to be able up see the whites of their eyes otherwise you can't sing back at them.The set up is exactly like it is at the mags. Do their fans sit in silence whilst aways sing all game? Everyone on here reckons the away fans are really loud at our place so why isn't it sparking off those who need away fans to compete against to sing?
I'm not angry, just disappointedWish I'd been in the Wheatseaf on Saturday
They've f***ing shit themselves
Me too cheaper pintI'm not angry, just disappointed
Generally the ones that complain about the atmosphere are the ones that sit on their arse & do nowt
The lads that put a tremendous amount of effort in with the flags were even criticised on a thread on here - yet again by another zombie
Either get involved & try to improve the atmosphere in the stadium or shut the fuck up

Because I am not 15 years old. I consider 30 year old lads going to the match just to sing a bit sad, so no I won’t be doing it. Haven’t got anything against those who do but it isn’t for me.
There are other ways to support the team than making up rhymes about the players - shouting, pressuring referees, roaring to drive them on while countering, etc. - all of which I will do, and I am very vocal at the match. I don’t mind the occasional verse of Sunderland Sunderland Sunderland, but I just think it’s a bit sad singing some of the songs that go around.
Is that okay or am I not a proper fan?

The Mags sell 95% of their home tix, have concessions next to away supporters, and have at least three established singing areas (Gallowgate, Strawberry corner and L7 corner). We all look toward the South Stand and expect them to bring all the atmosphere.
How did that use to work at Roker Park then when the Fulwell used to chant at the away fans in the Roker End?You have to be able up see the whites of their eyes otherwise you can't sing back at them.

Your going home in a nice hired minibus or was that f***ing ambulance.Why's the roker full of shit?
Agree. The mags smashed seats but even they have never been as rotten to chuck things indiscriminately from a height like Coventry did.As other posters have pointed out, even the Mags and Millwall have not stooped the depths of the coventry supporters last weekend. Failure by Northumbria's finest to take any action has undoubtedly led those scum to think they could do what they liked with impunity.
They didn’t get any abuse at all. Just small fry players playing up to playing in front of a big crowd for once.
Exactly. I didnt even have a clue who the first lad is. Assumed he was a mag or somethingHow can you abuse players you have never heard of?
They were getting no grief at all, it was a bizarre way to celebrate in the circumstances. If they had been getting shit, then go and shush the fans, that's fair game.

You're good at making things up, I'll give you that.
very good.
I think part of it at our place is the proximity of the metal roof to the away fans. The sound waves will bounce off that and carry down to ground level. That’s why it doesn’t take many fans up there to create a lot of noise.
Strange that my post was deleted?Knows exactly what went on in the North and South stands. Quite remarkable really.
