Last few games I have watched from the west stand and whilst the atmosphere has been poor I expected it as they where games that would normaly have poor away crowds.

Against saints our fans woke up twice when we scored but the rest of the game it was like a morgue.

Normally in tough games we would get behind the team and the crowd would drive the team on.

Why was it so poor?

Indeed. Shell-shocked is how I would describe it.

We were 30 odd points down to Bradford at half time in 2002, crowd got behind a very poor side, they came back and won the game.

With our side 20 points is nothing.

I stand more or less in the middle of the south stand. Agree totally the atmosphere is terrible, 3 to 4 years ago Geordie when you were leading the chants it was bouncing unfortunately now there is no creator of chants and songs , same old couple of chants thats it.

Sorry to the kids trying to tickle an old piece of tin but we need an leader to get things going any takers? or can you please come out of retirement your club needs you !!!

Unfortunately, I think you get that spirit much less when people's expectations are higher. They got rabidly behind the team more often when we were poop, less so now we expect to be winning. It's a shame, but seems to happen lots.

i think its mostly due to the people who turn up to the game and dont even watch it. Young girls and lads seem to do this and stand round on phones or talking not even showing interest in the game, why is this? We tried singing the great escape for a good 10 minutes but noone joined in, only about 20 of us if that. people must feel stupid singing maybe?

There isn't enough people in the 'barmy army' anymore, to get the songs going. Theres only 20-30 lads at home games around the drum and they try to get songs going but no one joins in and then they just give it. If you compare this to away matches where people who are willing sing and get songs going all get together, they actual get chants going.

As for the main point i think we were shell shocked to be 20 points down and we're a much better side now then in 2002.

Looking forward to the future...... not livin in the past...:Black Backgrounds/Scooter.gif



your not singing anymore!!!!!!!
Your not singing anymore!!!!!

I have thought this for a while now about how flat the south stand is!!
I say south because that is the lets say main stand,the players run out and applaud the South stand right away!!

Any kind of Entertainment faces the south stand Jedward,Stacey Soloman (if she ever turns up,) Ray quinn etc all stand there expecting a reaction but dont usually get one !!!!Well Booos anyway..

Take the other week Wigan away now i love Wigan week always have done always will do,Wire fans bouncing,Chanting doing a conga when allowed Inflatable Balls,rings,Palm trees, dolls you name it it was there so there is no problem generating a atmosphere away from home,but we do seem to struggle when we are at home.

A Geordie training session for the young lads in the SS who try but just not powerful enough is urgently needed. We need you Geordie. We also need our own Song. I really liked that one someone wrote last year we downloaded it from itunes & sing it in the car,

The South Stand needs a proper name.

The Kippax, The Leazes, The Kop, The Holt End, THE FLETCH! Why does everywhere just seem to have a North South East or West stand these days?...very unoriginal and boring.

I think you get a sense of belonging with a proper name "we are the *insert stand name*" - bang, you have a song going already!

I agree about the willingness to join in songs, though. The Great Escape could be heard for a while on Friday but so few joined in. The fans are part of the club as well and when the team are struggling we have to do our bit.

We need to do more, so let's raise the bar against Widnes. It is much needed!

It doesn't seem to help when we've got two drummers spread right across the stand. We either get two separate songs going at once or seem to be way off in timing and sound terrible. We could do with either one central drummer icon_wink.gif *Hint Hint*, or the two drummers to stand together and co-ordinate it a little better.

If the two groups stood together I think it'd get going a lot easier.

The Wire - It's Time To Believe When things go wrong, as they sometimes will. When the road you're trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low, and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with the twists and turns, AS everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out: Don't give up through the pace seems slow. You may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worse, that you must not quit. NOW THE WIRE!:24554.jpg



Even in the East stand that big drum got the blood pumping; it was a focal point that is sorely missed. I say Geordie your bang to rights for ripping the heart out of the wire atmosphere, burn him at the stake I say burn him hahahha, what ever happened to the drum, thought it was given away. I will throw in a quid to get it back come on wire pass the hat round, the great drum return fund starts here. eusa_whistle.gif
