I was just in the tea room on our floor and this Ozzie bloke was talking to another bloke, telling him that he'd beem up to watch the Leeds game. Obviously, I started eavesdropping. He said "Jesus, I've never heard anything like those Newcastle fans, they were bawling and singing from kick-off until about ten minutes after the game. Just unbelievable". Isn't it nice to be a Geordie?

Spot on Kennyboy. The atmos against Cov was bordering on embarrassing. Not just our problem though, I think it's the same throughout the Premier. Caught 5 minutes of 5-live's commentary from Stade de merd yesterday and thought I'd stumbled across a church serice for Remeberance Sunday.

It is a general problem, but yesterday the Silence of Light was amazing, the Bradford supporters singing 'we can see you sneaking out' was a lovely touch

Excuse the piss-poor spelling - you get my drift anyway.

One thing I must say is that we can raise it at home but we need some sort of incident. I mean, the 4-2 at Spurs would have had us going mental but the Spurs fans barely said a word.

The only audible chant yesterday was the usual rousing chorus of their favourite, the "2-1" chant, a the start.

I don't think we would be so totally obsessed with a narrow victory over them, and it really does show them to a world audience to be small time johnnies with an inferiority complex, living in awe of, and jealous of the Big Club up the road. Tossers!

We seem to shout if were winning by a large margin , or loosing by a small one. Or when players are sent off etc. I just wish we were creating noise like the Barca game at home every week I couldnt speak for 3 days, which Mrs Kennyboy appreciated.

Perhaps the answer is to have Andy D'@rseho ref all our home games? Worked a treat on Boxing Day.

Hat, coat, door. :-)

They all laughed at eddison when he said he recorded sound etc.

Our home atmosphere, do none of you think that the problem lies with mates being seperated etc? Your less likely to impersonate a crooner if your with strangers etc.

SO WHY NOT FORM A SEASON TICKET SWAP SHOP. Or is this idea ludicrous?

-- Anonymous, January 22, 2001

Swapshop? Canny idea (but fer Gawd's sake, don't tell Noel Edmonds).

Well, if you suggested it to the club, no doubt (a) they would dismiss it out of hand or (b) put up a notice board on the wall next to the club shop.

Now, what sort of technology might be needed to publicise this? An obvious place would be on the orificial website. They could even caal it The Black and White Coloured Swapshop. But no, hang on, that would be useful, and we know they don't do things like that! Far better chance on the .com site, but would the club allow exchanges???

How many people hold ST's that aren't in their own name already? What difference a few more? ;-))

They really should have done something to encourage a singing section, but that would require coordination to do something useful. *boom* (the sound of an in-charge-at-NUFC-office-type's head exploding at the very idea)

Instead of a swap-shop, why not just give away free alcohol starting from 1pm on a Saturday afternoon. Everyone would sing then.

-- Anonymous, January 22, 2001

y'know - that's not such a crazy idea. If they did for a few games, i bet the place would be full an hour and a half before kick off and nee one would have anything to do but sing and entertain themselves....

somebody suggest it....

However quiet we are at home I'm glad that we haven't adopted the drums to manufacture an atmosphere like Derby to name but one team. That would be a dark, dark day in our history.
