I’ve been one of many Newcastle United season ticket holders for 22 years now.
In addition to having been a St James’ Park common, I’ve additionally racked up over 200 away video games in my time.
Nonetheless, one factor that’s actually upsetting, is the shortage of assist and ambiance we now obtain from our house crowd.
Folks leaving after 30 minutes for a pint and 80 minutes to beat the queues to the pub, slightly than staying and clapping the lads off, or getting behind the staff when wanted.
It looks like the house followers have gotten extra of a spectator than a “supporter”, the shortage of ardour, getting behind the staff and singing, is fading away week by week.
There are millions of followers locked out, but 1000’s inside merely can’t be bothered it appears, or they are going to say it’s day trippers or vacationers.
But the overwhelming majority, some 31,000, are Newcastle United season ticket holders.
The ambiance is dangerous due to Newcastle United season ticket holders, nobody else.
The necessity for additional protected standing and getting like-minded followers collectively has by no means been extra wanted.
Whether or not that’s supporters pushing the membership to get a full standing finish, or getting like-minded supporters close to away followers, as an alternative of the household enclosure being there.
One thing needs to be executed.
I’d actually welcome a brand new stadium at this level, as it could be an choice to relocate followers who wish to be heard.
Different golf equipment have full ends standing, so there is no such thing as a excuse for us to not have the ability to.
In the event you don’t wish to stand, or be in a piece that does, please reallocate and keep in mind that is for the great of Newcastle United, not you.
I’d like to listen to different followers ideas on this.
