I really don't get it. The thing about a Newy crowd is that they cheer in the right places, they applaud in the eright places, they groan in the right places, and they anticipate a goal. They know how to bring a team home. This tells me we have a very educated crowd. Tonight I had guys around me debating various aspects of tactics and player performance. A newy crowd is engaged in the game.

So what if Newcastle people don't sing. It's an anglo trait and a sign of the mainstream nature of the football in our city. Expect more of this if the game becomes more and more mainstream in the rest of the country.

These dicks want to turn crowds into performing seals, cheerleaders. For what? So that they can go on about how great the atmosphere is? Funny listening to Duvutovic say what needs to happen to create more active support like he is a chess master pushing the pawns around.

Get stuffed.
I've been to Socceroos games at ANZ where you can hear a pin drop.

I guess last night also shows that NSW's second city has always had a raw deal stadium wise & that we deserve better.

I'm sure if there were 35,000 in a stadium that had a roof at either end to keep the noise in they'd be raving instead of complaining.
