A mag's opinion of our atmosphere

[Leake Makem]

I was at a family event yesterday and was chatting to a Mag family member (unfortunately we are split 50/50) who I had bumped into at a Sunderland Game and was asking him why he was there etc. Turns out his mate is a mackem.

He went on to say he was actually surprised at how good the atmosphere was and that it was actually better than SJP has been for a good few years and even when at the Burnley game it was good for the first 5 and then rubbish for the rest.

Made me think, sometimes we shouldn't be too hard on our atmosphere, some have it alot better than us and still can't get as loud as us. We take it for granted sometimes I'm sure, the SOL is not going to be like Napoli in league 1.

Haway the fans

Was good on Saturday, partially down to the ref because fans could sense players were having to dig in a lot more . Also when 2 1 up less leave early and it helps. At times it isnt so good and I'm in South.

Think the roar when attacking is sometimes more beneficial to players than a song.

I'll always love the Stadium of Light and the atmosphere and agree, we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves regarding it.

As per my profile pic, my first game was the 1-0 win against Arsenal with Bent's winner. Packed ground, scenes when the ball hit the net (some big Mackem picked me up and literally threw me in the air!), Elvis at full time. I loved the club from that moment on...

Imagine what it would be like if we were good.

Imagine listening to what a smelly Mag decapitation fanboi says...

4-0 at half time against Chelsea was good.

 

[Thatheaderman]

Reidy times were good as were Keane times. Then not so good.

Happens to be a reason for that but how many clubs would create better atmosphere if in L1 for the years we've been now, and that's after watching premiership and championship dross for the years previous.

3-0 v Everton wasn’t bad either

4-0 at half time against Chelsea was good.

I meant consistently good.

Both have been quiet for years (backed up by mag mates of mine).

The raucous support is a total myth unless there’s actually something to get behind.

Symptom of football in general mind, not just this region.

Not just saying it, but the atmosphere at Sid James isn't the best, I'm quite surprised how Sky still maintain that it is. It's mainly due to their lop-sided ground imo, not helped of course by their fans generally being on a total downer and expecting the world.

Polyester underwear and soy lecithin to blame.

We can only imagine, will probably never happen in my lifetime.

St James’ has always been shite.
Never been impressed.

 

[nessen]

We’ve had our fair share of misery to be fair. Irrespective of league, we’ve more to cheer.

St James’ has always been shite.
Never been impressed.

To be fair for the last 20years they struggled at the bottom end of the prem in the main. By our experience of that, it’s pretty shite to follow.

It’s how football is everywhere. If the football is shit the atmosphere will be.

I'm from and live in Edinburgh mate, first English game I went to was that 1-0 win, bought tickets with my mates, drove down and just like that, sold. Blew me away and been regular ever since.

I remember seeing Roker Park on the TV, I've since learned all about the famous Roker roar and once I found the club, it just made me wish I was 10 years older and been able to have a few pre-match pints and then a home game at the old ground.

I always tend to reply to the post and not the poster …… but I can’t remember you being such a fanny.

How do you come to that conclusion, are you aware of my personal circumstances, do you see us becoming gold again in the near future?
