With the removal of the Level 7 'singing section' at St James' Park now confirmed, some fans have raised an online petition in an attempt to urge the Club to consider relocating the singing section en masse to another part of the Stadium. The campaigners from United for Newcastle met on Thursday with Head of Customer Relations Simon Esland who stated that the Club would, "look into relocating the singing section to another part of the Stadium.”.
The ‘singing section’ was set up by the Club in 2008 with the then Chairman Chris Mort saying, "Over the course of the year I’ve spoken to lots of fans about how we can improve things at St James’ Park. One idea was somehow creating a section in the ground where like-minded fans – who enjoy singing – can come together to generate a great atmosphere and get behind the team for 90 minutes".
Though not initiated by NUST, the Trust are right behind this petition as we think that this section has definitely improved the atmosphere at home games, which has undoubtedly benefitted the players, supporters and the football club.
