Nostalgia tinted memories should always always be factored in but the atmosphere on Boxing Day was non-existent compared to previous years. This was my first home game for a while (lived out of the country for 15 years so only attended the odd home or away game since ‘06) and couldn’t believe how flat it was. As a season ticket holder at Filbo 92-02 I can say with some certainty that we always got something going and matched the away following at the least. Agreed that it wasn’t always rocking but there would be vocal support that could be heard from one side of the ground to the other (the Kop was going well in advance we had unreserved seating when the terracing was replaced). Perhaps the Newcastle game was just a bad day all around, but I would like to think we can properly sort this out.
