Stadium atmosphere

I agree with this but I find it quite baffling as well - I don't get how a bad atmosphere is a selling point at all. They should surely be pushing for the exact opposite. I find some games almost unwatchable when the atmosphere is absolutely dead - which you can't accuse every PL game of being, but a lot of them are.

 

It's just such an odd stance in this country.

Not true at all, atmosphere is a huge consideration when selling premier league football rights, shown by the rebate given during behind closed doors matches in covid.

Broadcasters have suggested an 18-24 ticket bracket, but there are concerns over this age group being on smartphones throughout matches and acting like 'customers' - i.e. making a racket for 20 minutes, then if they're not entertained, sitting down and being bored/leaving early.

The design of modern 'bowl' stadiums means noise flows outwards rather than stays in, which is why TV love Spurs' ground as it is specifically designed like a concert hall to keep all noise in.

I have a counterpart who is a sports lawyer who deals with broadcast rights, they absolutely want a good atmosphere.

Totally agree, but guess if you were sat there with a 5-10 year old then you'll probably feel differently. The atmosphere is probably last thing on your mind. 

This is probably the general assumption the club makes about kids at matches but from what I can see they don’t want the shit sanitised experience either. 
 

My 10 year old has been to two away games this season (Burton and Liverpool) and he’s come away from both annoyed that there was no singing section. That tells you everything you need to know about the state of our ends…

Yep. My 8 year old comes to the aways when I can get him a ticket and he was disappointed at how quiet it was in the second half on Weds. He preferred the atmosphere in P1 for the Bristol game which is a bit of a damning indictment! Hopefully better Sunday

There shouldn't be any excuses for the Friday night game against Leeds.

I think instead of clappers they should give us all inflatable dinosaurs. I'm sure we'd all appreciate that gesture. 

We could pass them on to the Leeds fans and tell them to stop living in the past.

I know it’s an early ko but the stadium seems really quiet

That woman bringing her own clapper has ruined my day

This is a dreadful kick off time.

I know its not the usual English mindset but you'd think going all that way at the crack of dawn you would want to make it really loud and enjoyable.

what full backs are in the U21s now, we'll need cover at some point?

City fans sound very loud on Foxes Hub audio. Going through the song book with a particularly loud 'you're my Dewsbury-Hall'.

Has livened up in the last 10.

[Spudulike]

Whole end standing apart from front couple of rows, they just said. 

[moore_94]

Thought the away end was great today

 

Blackburn fans were shocking, I think we sang more songs about their players than they did 

[Voll Blau]

Never a reliable judge but the volume on TV sounded excellent for a Sunday morning.

[SystonFox]

Tv atmosphere sounded non existent but at times they blank it out and turn up certain mics at certain times.

 

atmosphere police will be pulling some people over tonight

Fans of football league clubs love the old "Championship fans are so much better than Premier League fans" line but it's a load of shit. Home support is basically non existent at most places and away fans sing the exact same songs as each other in patches. It's dreadful and incredibly boring.

[Spudulike]

Sounded brilliant on my audio feed. Very loud. 

 

 

[Ian Nacho]

Awful support from Blackburn. Judging by the smell of it, pretty sure the old bloke sitting next to me had cacked his pants. 

[Tommy G]

Very loud on the telly 

[fox_up_north]

Other than the gaggle in the corner near us, their support was pretty rubbish. Vast majority of ours were standing but they had a half empty ground come the 90th minute.

[StanSP]

Fans did sound great on TV, quite loud.
