I just remember the name Saffron Lane from when I was a kid living in Wigston in the 50s and 60s. I can't remember it and have no idea if it is a desirable residential area or a shithole. Judging from the responses I assume it is the latter, he doesn't, and the chant is just a bit of humour. It is. I am led to believe he lives in Countesthorpe.. Sadly, 'Spain' and 'thorpe' don't rhyme....

old koppite Posted 9 December 2017 Posted 9 December 2017 Sound good on lcfc radio- well done lads! safe journey home!

Amazing how Wiggy and Saffron Lane, despite being right next to each other, are like two different worlds. Or at least they were back in the 70s. We lived in Wiggy and my mum remarried - to a guy who lived on the Saff. He had kids himself, and within days I had a much wider vocabulary. Not saying better, you understand, just wider. (We need a family history thread on here when we can pour out all this stuff - it'll be very therapeutic).
Voll Blau Posted 10 December 2017 Posted 10 December 2017 Best away end since Bruges yesterday for me.
Stadt Posted 10 December 2017 Posted 10 December 2017 I've not done that many aways but that was by far the best end I've ever been in - bodies aots for the goals.

SemperEadem Posted 10 December 2017 Posted 10 December 2017 Yesterday was best league away end we have turned out in years.
lebleu Posted 10 December 2017 Posted 10 December 2017 how was the union fs initative for it? Did it tell help?

Bayfox Posted 10 December 2017 Posted 10 December 2017 Enjoyed that. Good effort from the ufs kept it ticking over all game and was nice to see/hear songs going on for numerous verses so that it could spread across the whole end. Hope this is a sign that the little bit of organisation is working. 1st time I'd done Newcastle since O'Neill was here and I really enjoyed it. Will almost be hoping they stay up so I can repeat it next season. If only to go full mahrez on zombie nation in a club full of geordies
Lionheart10 Posted 10 December 2017 Posted 10 December 2017 Well done to all who were there,you could really hear us singing on the TV.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 10 December 2017 Posted 10 December 2017 Gutted I missed this, sounded great.

K1FOX Posted 10 December 2017 Posted 10 December 2017 What do people think was the reason for the improved atmosphere yesterday ? Different demographic of fan ?

A mixture of the KO time being later so probably more lads on the piss with a few even staying over for the weekend, the away section group and a good performance.
Dan Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 Also think it was very good yesterday. Kind of day that reminds me why I spend so much time and money on football. A very good away end and some really decent football.

Yep, basically all of those factors. Lads on a jolly making a racket. Superb.
Blue Ed Posted 11 December 2017 Posted 11 December 2017 It's a shame we're not allowed flares in the premier league. Live the continental atmosphere with flares a crackers going off.
