Wor Flags did it again last night with a stunning pre-match display inside the stadium.
The St. James' Park atmosphere has come in for a lot of criticism online after last night's game and, to be fair, much of it is probably justified.
For long periods of the game, the atmosphere was extremely flat, from the Newcastle supporters at least. The Borussia Dortmund fans never stopped all game, especially that chuffing drummer.
It all seemed to start when Alexander Isak went down with a recurrence of his groin problem and had to be replaced. It was almost as if all hope went off with him and the home fans never really found their voice again until late on when trying to push the team for the equaliser.
Before that Isak injury though, the crowd was loud and proud and there's no doubt that was largely down to another absolutely stunning display put on by the lads and lasses of Wor Flags.
Newcastle fan Joey Payne posted a clip to X that captured the display along with the Champions League anthem:
Sheer perfection.
Other English clubs are trying to follow suit with their displays, but they've got a long way to go before they can match Wor Flags.
After a night where it was hard to find positives, this clip reminds us just how good things are at the moment overall. It's a great time to be a Newcastle supporter and we're never going to win every single game.
