Mangoes? You should try eating it first before you hate it. I'm sure after you have tasted it, you will love it.
Oooohh we are New-ca-stle,
We are the famous Red, Gold and Blue.
Oooohh we are New-ca-stle
We sing from the terrace just for you.

Not too bad, this is what I came up with. The first bit of the song would be insane but I think it would be way too complicated for newy folk.
Ohh we are New-cas-tle
We are the famous red & blue
We will all stand un-it-ed
And sing from the terrace just for you

Ohh commonnnnnn Newcastle

Lets just go back to singing discloland, oasis and status quo
Novocastria Youth
Issues:
- There needs to be a critical mass, which when reached people say "wow that looks like fun, I want to join". At the moment the critical mass is below this point, reasons various. Would help if those who wanted to be involved conglomerated somewhere, and didn't leave at half time. Beer lines < Supporting team, drink full strength when you get back to the puvb.
- Learning New songs is all well and good to say, but for crying out loud we have tried 2 or so new songs (Mrs Robinson, Moon shadow, Torcida, Novocastria) and noone bothers to join in the words are easy.
-"Let's keep going for 10mins", however most of the people in the bay lose interest within 2-3 repetitions of ANYTHING.
- Constant negativity, its just seems to keep coming, no matter what we do, perhaps this is just people venting from the on field stuff. But I think that what we are CURRENTLY doing has seen several NEW people get involved over the last 12 months. This has not seen growth due to the numbers of older, or moreinterestedinorganisingfightsandthengettinghead aches guys leaving.
- Ditch the capo and the bay will be quieter than old trafford for 90mins.
Give it a go. Will be shit though, did it last year. Some poor sod had to go back and get the stuff at half time.
Also reckon you will lose more people through losing interest than gain with not having the capo. And are people who don't want a capo wanting to be part of active support or an area the deem they can booze up, abuse, and get away with it.
Know what I think keeps people away? ****wits throwing beers.
I support positive changes, things that will see the bay move forward. Removing the capo will just reduce noise, interest level, and numbers further

Go jetties
At the end of the day the shitness on the pitch has made this club almost unloveable. Personally I don't feel the passion enough to sing for them. I don't think many changes will increase the number of peeps while we continue to get given disapointment after disapointment. Like someone said before only winning will bring people back/increase recruits. You homiez do a job, just like Iggya Azalea, don't worry bout those haterz
FWIW I reckon these chants could last the 10+ mins, if given a proper go:
- We're Newcastle, United boys.
- City of the Hunter (if an extra bit is added that gets people jumping, ole-ing, or something. maybe two reps of City of the Hunter, followed by a break-out bit, then back to City of the Hunter - I don't have the exact answers for this yet).
- Tifosi
- We love you/St Pauli
Not sure I know the other chants well enough.
But there's what, 4 or 5 I've already listed, and if somehow we can rally the bay to refuse to let them die for a good 5-10mins, there's basically a half gone. Rinse and repeat for the second half. Let the silly little witty things happen organically in the middle, but when that post-awkward silence hits, just go large on one of the above chants.
Hit out a Come On Newcastle once a half too, really hammer that for a good 10 mins and force the general crowd to get it going.
Also I think we need a celebration chant for all of our players. Like Boom boom boom, lemme hear you say Griffo kind of thing. I reckon it'd be sick if every single player had a designated chant so if/when they score, we hit that hard for 5 minutes.
I know a 5-10minute chant isn't easy to do, and way easier said than done, but basically I feel like if the large majority of you people reading this here just keep it going, even shout louder when you sense the rest of the bay is dying down, the group will follow suit.

OK
Don't forget the 'were Newcastle, were wonderful' song pv4. I'd love to see an arms out/slow clap/fast clap version of this (with the call and response bit on the 2nd verse)

Legit question.
Did anyone in active bay hear the eastern stand doing the "new-car-sell" chant late in the 2nd half?
From my vantage point it seemed to start from there but active bay didn't join in. Is it because it wasn't heard? Or not interested? Or did you blokes in fact start it and the shitty acoustics made me not hear y'all.
Not criticism just interested and as stated by many acoustics are rubbish so every chance it wasn't heard/I heard wrong.
I couldn't hear much. The strong nor-Easter didn't help.
Most noise anyone made would have been heard at the hockey centre rather than in the ground.
Since when Plague ask legit questions?

Give it a rip. Coordinating this between squadron and us on south-west corner would be
Paging Schultz.
I think you need the mega. You just don't have to sing through it all the time.
For me, the key is using your imagination. For example, maybe try and mix things up by bring a snare drum rather than a bass drum. Given the influx of new players it would be good to have chants for as many of the players as possible so these can be used wherever possible. I always prefer chanting that reflects what's going on the pitch as opposed to 10 minutes of repetitive noise that doesn't sound like it would even inspire the players. Be on the lookout for people with musical ability and bring them in wherever possible. The mega used to have the ability to plug an ipod into it, if this is still the case, why not play some music through it to sing along to. For starters, you can play NTUA through it on 85 minute mark, or maybe our resident DJ can select a tune to play through it.
And I also agree with the Status Quo, Oasis, Discoland remark. I always liked singing a well known tune with a good melody, and it makes no difference if it is a real "football song" or not. Well known songs get people in the singing mood.
I think you've got to appeal to the people who come to the game to experience an event, but the hard part is that you've got to not look like try hards.
