I thought Newcastles fans were pretty good given what they were watching.So much for Newcastle's lorded away support.
Us.
The 1st wasn't great.
The 2nd half was better.
But it was never going to be a great atmosphere.

Yep I’ve long since accepted that we‘ll never have an imposing atmosphere with the majority of vocal blues in SS1. Even if those with season tickets there agree (which I’m sure they don’t), I don’t think there would be much appetite to move, as its their home, it‘s close to away fans and it’s noisy enough, it just simply doesn’t travel.Not great tonight, but was never going to be. Newcastle were loud, but nothing special. Any team given 8000 away allocation would have made just as much noise as them.
These games are the biggest giveaway that the North Stand should be a new home end. Unfortunately SS1 isn't able to compete in games like this, and if I'm perfectly honest it's not even a home end.
Anyway onwards and upwards, Arsenal and Mardrid will both be electric!

No you can’t hear under there. I had the same against Burnley. Geordies were pretty loud and carried on even though they were given nothing to sing about.I didn't hear them much under the L2 overhang on SSL1.
