OP- is this some kind of Clarkie? The atmosphere was shocking where I was. Admittedly I'd been moved from SS lower for the extra away fans, but L2 East Stand block 204 is like a church. There was one ripple of 'stand up if you love city' after the second goal, but most of this lot didn't join in and were mumbling about their view being obstructed. Bloke near me was told off for swearing because "ladies were present and if he wanted to use that kind of language he should leave." The person behind me kept bleating on about the goals being Panty's fault and Hart would have saved them.
As a general point, even though I was in the other half of the ground, heard plenty from the united fans until our second went in.
None of this surprised me, but don't go saying our support is great when it so clearly isn't. I would, however, like to nod to those either side of the away end who at least gave it a go, made out "we're having a party..." at one point, just wasn't able to join in for fear of offending the padded seat brigade.
The Geordies did, fans were great yesterday though!
It doesn't help if you don't turn the volume up on your remote. Are you for real?
TBH I'm sick to death of all the criticism our home support has been getting on BM this season. Some of you need to take a reality check. Like many others I've been home and away this season and can assure you our home support is much better and louder than most other clubs home support.
One more thing. There hasn't been a set of away fans who have out sung us at home this season, regardless of the results. And today was a prime example, where '6000' United fans, with their team 3-0 up, were out sung for the vast majority of the game.
Enough said.
