Not a fan, then? Personally, I don't mind them. It was always a great atmosphere there and the fans always seemed solid enough people to me.Great to see this shower struggling again.
Ah the atmosphere myth.Not once have they been better than City at St James.Not a fan, then? Personally, I don't mind them. It was always a great atmosphere there and the fans always seemed solid enough people to me.

Exactly the same as the Anfield myth. They'll be there in numbers singing when they're winning but they'll disappear in their thousands when the going gets tough. They're continually overhyped both in terms of historic success and size. It's a one club city it should be getting plenty turning up. They've not got a rival club down the road doing miles better!
The atmosphere last week against Milan was proof of the atmosphere myth. Rocking until the outlook changed and then it was a library. The fans didn't give the players anything.
I'd still much rather they won things over any of the red shirts though!
Remember taking my younger brother to his first game with me in the late 70s and we're walking up to the ground and their feral fans were attacking the police horses. Inside things didn't improve. No love for that lot but the press seem to love them these days just because they take their shirts off and have to travel a long way.

The geordies have had 24 years of solid attendances despite Mike Ashley, perhaps we should stop levelling untrue accusations at them the same way other wankers from other clubs do at us?

My experience of St James Park (I have been there more than 20 times) is that the atmosphere is usually fantastic. It is much better than Anfield which is one of the most plastic fanbases in Europe. The Geordies did vanish in the 80s but so did the fans of most other clubs. They also have a great away following, as do their rivals Sunderland. It was dodgy in the 70s but so was everywhere.The geordies have had 24 years of solid attendances despite Mike Ashley, perhaps we should stop levelling untrue accusations at them the same way other wankers from other clubs do at us?
