26th April, 2025…
The atmosphere in St. James' Park was electric.
The stakes were at its highest in the oldest club competition in the world, a spot in the final of the English FA Cup.
When the Fulham players entered the pitch to incredibly loud noise by the Newcastle home supporters, they felt like they were fighting against the whole world. It almost seemed as if the whole stadium was against them, except the tiny noise coming from the away stands.
"Fulham!" "Fulham!"
The away supporters who traveled for this blockbuster game made their presence known in this stadium, singing songs at the top of their lungs.
The atmosphere was tense, the pressure was palpable and under the perfect ambience of a cool evening, the referee's whistle sounded to kickstart the FA Cup semifinal game.
FWEEEE!
Newcastle United kicked off the game.
