Best ever away fans at the Riverside?

[LakesRed1876]

Seen a few comments saying PNE today are the best away fans people have ever seen at the Riverside - obviously this will depend on how many games and how long people have been going.

What are everyone's thoughts?

The standout one for me was Cardiff in the 2008 FA cup game, they were outrageously loud and constantly vocal.

Hendsford
Fa cup 96/97. ????
Outstanding support

Thought they were brilliant today, and they were definitely the best this season, but I don't think they're the best we've had whilst I've been going.

At the same time, that was then when they were geting battered, I imagine they'd have turned it up a notch if they were winning.

I thought they were okay today.

Best this season? Maybe. Best ever? No chance.

 

[AcklamAngel]

Best this season with out a doubt. They stopped till the end even though getting beat 4-0, suberb fans

Best ever? Banik Ostrava. And it’s not even close.

First game of the season when Leicester (under Nigel Pearson) won 2-1 after we took the lead. Their fans turned out in force and sang all game.

Banik were insane, it was like nothing we’d ever witnessed before!

I remember Everton in the League Cup quarters at the Riverside (0-2) being loud and none stop. Spurs always travel in numbers and loud as well.

To be honest, I was always impressed by Man Utd's away support whenever we played them. Very loud and they always had a good selection of original songs.

Except the cup game last year

Great support from Preston today right till the end they were singing. Best away following support I've seen this season UTY UTFB

 

[Duffman]

Everton for me. Couldn’t hear any Boro chants at all during the match as they sung their hearts out from before kick off till the final whistle - best I’ve seen at the Riverside.

Sheff Wed's away following has consistently impressed me over the years.

PNE's travelling Gentry were tremendous today. Best to visit the Riverside this season by some measure.

 

[HolgateCorner]

Newcastle or Sunderland easily the best.

Best fans in the world.

No, best fans in the universe.

Marvellous.

 

[erimus86]

Yeah they were good but best ever, no chance. They were silent from the first goal through to about 70 minutes. Reminded me of us last year at Deepdale.

Banik Ostrava fans were a lot of fun.

I remember the doing the Poznan well before Man City's euro adventure. Then they all pulled out balloons and started waving them around.

Sporting's fans were good too.

Lazio were insipid.

Worth saying, this year has not been particularly vintage for away fans at The Riverside. Missed the big followings from forest, Leeds, derby, Sheffield Wednesday etc…

 

[Beverleyred]

Dortmund fans were brilliant, and that was a pre-season friendly!

 

[wilkos_perm]

Nowhere close. I liked the fact they came in numbers and found their voice at the end, but the were generally quiet. All the bigger northern teams tend to be the loudest, and as said above Ostrava were the most interesting

Yep probably only Sunderland and Sheff Utd who've brought any decent number.
