Howmanheyman 33267 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I missed out on the old Leazes so can't say much about it. At heart I'm a Gallowgate (corner) lad, however, once the seats went in I moved around and thought it was all pretty shite, now I'm a L7 corner chanter, so am a Leazes convert, (Just don't ask me to sing any of those new songs that drone on that the ultras have composed, hint, if its good it'll take off, if it doesn't, it's shit, it should also be spontaneous, when the ultras sing the new ones, the L7 atmosphere suffers till its finished, stick to the tried and tested and try something catchy and easy to do if you want some new ones). Also, while I'm at it, when did 'we love you newcastle' change to 'we love Newcastle'? Yours pedantically, Howmanheyman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 As a kid I was always scoreboard, over the years Ive sat almost everywhere, had an ST for two seasons in East stand 10 seats along from the away fans when they were NE corner which was about the only atmospheric part of East Stand tbh, nowadays though its Leazes NE corner, more than happy there, good enough atmosphere and still able to take the piss out of the away fans if need be.

Craig 6682 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 What do they call the Gallowgate these days? It used to be the 'Exhibition' at one point and also the 'Newcastle Brown Ale' but fuck knows what it is now. Was it just my imagination or was there a suggestion around the time they named the leazes end after SJH that the East Stand would be named after Shepherd?

Jill 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Leazes for me, my dad had a season ticket with his mates there for years before the ground was extended so all the games I went to were in the Leazes before they all got shifted to L7. Got my first season ticket passed over from one of my dad's mates in 2001 in the Milburn L7 and stayed there until this season, when I made a return to the Leazes (albeit the L7 corner). Only sat in the Gallowgate 2-3 times for cup games, it's canny but it just ain't home. PS. I hate 'Ends' being referred to as 'Stands'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoggeordie 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Gallowgate end for me. Stood in the Leazes corner last week and enjoyed it, but the Gallowgate is my spiritual home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours pedantically, Howmanheyman. Amen, brother. I have been wondering that same thing for a while now. 'We love Newcastle, we do' just sounds (sorry, M) GAY, GAY, GAY. First games in the old Leazes, then when the roof came down moved to the Gallowgate. Moved to 'the paddock' in the new stand around the age of 17/18 which was just fuckin' mental at the time. Then moved to the Gallowgate, 90% of the time in 'the corner' the rest in 'the scoreboard'. Since the new ground I have migrated all over the place, but have now settled for a place right at the back of 'the corner' (anyone hearing a big-mouthed twat at the back, it's me - come and say hello ) where I can stand all game and shout and sing to my heart's content without anyone getting upset.

spongebob toonpants 3997 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) I don't want to come over all generational, but the club has never been the same since they took the roof off the Leazes. I followed the time honoured tradition of graduating to the Leazes when I stopped going with my Dad and started going with my mates. The noise that was generated under that roof is still the greatest thing I have ever heard. I am sitting hear lost in the memory to be honest. Even under Keegan, even when we winning every week, the noise was nothing like that of the Leazes, and there were so many songs.

Ugly Mackems 133 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 My first days going to SJP were in the old Leazes End which was magical in full flow. I then moved over to the Gallowgate Corner or Paddocks. I've been in the Gallowgate Upper since it was opened preceeded by half a season in SKY boxes area.

paddy 17 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I've always thought the Leazes end was the posh end, full of people from Morpeth and Hexham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accadacca 0 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I've always thought the Leazes end was the posh end, full of people from Morpeth and Hexham. you should have been in the Leazes in the 70's. Half time would come round and lads would wander round asking if you fancied a scrap ! There was always a dust up during the game between rival groups the 2 main ones were from Longbenton and Denton area, but it would kick off out of the blue. Plod would pile in and there was a rightt free for all - and this was EVERY home game, not just one offs ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be the 'Exhibition' at one point and also the 'Newcastle Brown Ale' but fuck knows what it is now. Just the Gallowgate now according to: The seating capacity figures don't stack up.

Guest Stevie Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I can't believe how many people sit in Level 7 who use this forum, disproportionately high amount. Two lasses as well, there are hardly any down at the bar at half time, apart from them three old ridiculously boilers mutton dressed up as lamb, with stinking cheap perfume on. I always imagined one was Radgina. I tell you the new youngun song I hate, "we are the geordies of NUFC" OH DEAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
