The myth- That St James's Park, Newcastle is a noisy hotbed of football full of the most passionate fans in the country.

Went to Newcastle-v-Everton cos I was in the area and expected a stadium experience full of warm-hearted, friendly Geordies and chirpy, witty Scousers. Caught up in feyting artside the Strawberry Pub prior to game and the crowd were deathly quiet and full of moaning buggers-East Stand Upper at Oakwell had nothing on this.
