| PR Atmosphere 11:49 - Aug 8 with 1625 views | Cheltenham_Blue | The number of players, incoming and outgoing that have mentioned the Portman Road atmosphere this summer has been something else, especially given how much we all moan about it. Does show that on the pitch the sound does travel, it just doesn't travel to the other stands. IIRC Arnie Slot also mentioned it after the opening game last time up, so not a case of the atmosphere being the new, "amazing training ground". |  |

That Liverpool match should be the benchmark for this season, but for that to happen we need a team that gives everything for the shirt especially when we're losing. |  | |  |

| Greaves mentioned the Liverpool atmosphere… on 12:03 - Aug 8 with 1470 views | unstableblue | … in a recent article. It was outstanding and it put Liverpool on the back foot for most of the game. They just found an outstanding moment to break our excellent press - a press inspired by the home crowd. We have to replicate it against Sunderland. But I have a concern given just how bad it was last season. Lower North seemed disconnected from the season and the wider stands. Home crowd have to be better if we’re to stand a chance of survival. We have the chance to create quite an atmosphere in the Liverpool Friday night game. |  |

Yeah, it was quite poor indeed. The QPR atmosphere was something else though - we need to being that consistently. Being in the PL should help. At times last season the crowd were expecting a win and waiting for things to happen. In the PL every goal, every pass, every defensive header matters. |  | |  |

I don't think I've ever experienced a better atmosphere at PR than the QPR game last season. It wasn't just the in-game atmosphere, but the noise and emotion during the build-up to the game as well. I think that, if you get the atmosphere rocking before a ball has even been kicked, that's half the battle won. |  |

Atmosphere is the reason I predicted Sunderland and Leeds to stay up. Obviously not the only factor, but it was no surprise to me that Burnely went down. |  |

| PR Atmosphere on 13:50 - Aug 8 with 858 views | lurcher | PR has poor acoustics. It can be really loud in one area and quiet in another. One of the biggest issues is that the roof of the north, designed to amplify the sound is wasted as its higher than the 2 side stands. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Poor acoustics is just an excuse IMO. Portman Road should be an intimidating ground as the stands are close to the pitch. But it isn't because we don't have a vocal fanbase. Take Portsmouth away last season. The Fratton End roof is much higher than the other stands, but the atmosphere their fans generated that night was electric. |  | |  |

Move Blue Action into the Lower North (and I’m sure that the atmosphere will increase. I agree with you that the poor acoustic excuse is just, well an excuse. At PR, three of the stands seat in relative silence and then complain if the SBR stand fails to make any noise. That’s the problem and has been for a long time. |  | |  |
| PR Atmosphere on 15:02 - Aug 8 with 559 views | Vic | The original statement from Burns was as follows, before the PR people got hold of it “Thank you to Ipswich, to Mark and Kieran - you guys have done a great job. I’ve loved playing here despite the crowd being so boring most of the time. I fear for GON if the team don’t get off to a good start, and although I’ve loved it hear I’m glad I’m going to Leicester to get another promotion. Oh, and as for that rag TWTD and the bloke that accused me of being wacka ball - words fail me” |  |
