I don't want to be a Negative Norman, but I did think the atmosphere on saturday was surprisingly bad given the drought of football in the preceding weeks. It felt like we were weren't fussed given that Fulham are a 'small' team. Was just a bit surprised. |  | | |  |

There wasn't a lot really happening in the game so the crowd naturally went a bit quiet, then livened up at the end when more action started happening.
Happens at every game and every ground in the country. |
its was lively at the end of the game at carrott rood last night .. "BOOOOOOOOOO"! |  |

I've been in the NS Lower S5 for 14 years now, and the ground atmosphere has always been reactive at PR and we'll never be that fanbase that relentlessly makes noise for 90mins, and that's OK... sometimes it's better when the atmosphere is reactive and gets going, especially like after our first goal, we pushed them on quite considerably to get the 2nd goal. First half Saturday was a bit flat which was reflected in the atmosphere by both fanbases.
One overall issue with atmosphere is that BA decided to move into the Cobbold which is an awful stand to have an ultra section, they should have just stayed in the NS Lower, kept all the singers in one section and it would be louder. By seperating, we now often have two different songs going at once and things don't spread as well. The other issue BA have is that they bang their drum to some random tune no one has ever heard of - atmosphere is not just noise, it's got to be relevant to what's happening on the pitch.
PR sounds the best when songs spread across the NS, that will never be any different. Other stands and fans are welcome to join in btw, it needs to spread to other stands and when it occasionally does (Oh when the Town seems to do that), PR sounds great. |
BA didn’t have a choice other than to move though.
Being located right at the front of S6 was obviously not ideal & there wasn’t space to congregate & move to the middle of the NSL. |  |

Not on Saturday they weren’t, couldn’t hear A block a lot in the second half.
SBRU is dead most of the time and can’t hear SBRL from up there.
People everywhere should put a bit more effort in really. |
This, just 20 lads in A Block giving it some all game whilst 30k others just sit there tutting. | |

I think our home atmosphere has been pretty poor for a while now. Last season was bad to the point even KM called it out.
As you say, I look around me where I stand and the overwhelming majority of people are there in silence arms folded. Obviously everyone is entitled to support how they want, they pay their money. I just think its a shame that even in "vocal sections" there isn't that much atmosphere being created |
Yup, a massive problem.
If you ain’t going to contribute just move. The view in the SBRL is horrendous. | |

Great limbs against Sunderland and Fulham but our home atmosphere sounds absolutely awful on TV!
Is the NS alive during the actual 90 minutes? What happened to that stand? |
Been pants ever since it was made two tier, no cohesion in the songs together, you will never beat the north stand in the 70s |  | | |

The North Stand is alive and loud at every home game, just like us in Block A.
TV broadcasters only “mic up” the away fans’ enclosure (“in the interest of balance”). You seldom hear any home fans during a televised match. |
Basingstoke, I am a Broadcast audio engineer, and what you are saying is completely wrong! There are effects (FX) microphones all around the pitch to pick up the sound of the ball being kicked, ref's whistle etc, and then there are a pair of microphones high up adjacent to the main cameras on the half way line to pick up the ground atmosphere. If the game is being broadcast in Dolby Atmos (Sky live games usually), there will also be some rear facing microphones in the West stand. It is not practical to "mic up" the other three stands as there is no cable infrastructure back to the TV compound behind the SAR stand. (It is also not a EPL broadcast reuqirement). When watching games at PR on Sky, in both the championship and EPL there is plenty of crowd FX, when the stands are rocking, and yes, you can hear the away fans if they are making a racket.
I was at the Fulham game in SAR upper, and the ground was extremely quiet until we went behind - I didn't understand this either since we had been without football for three weeks. The Fulham fans were very quiet, compared to the other three sets of fans we have seen this season, and the NS and Block A were not as prominent as they usually seem. Don't know why the atmosphere was poorer, maybe someone else has a theory? | | | |

I understand why they felt they had to move, that's fair enough, I'm just pointing out that taking singers away from a singing section will result in it becoming quieter.
It was an issue though that BA couldn't be accomodated in SBR Lower and yes, unfortunately, there are people around me that don't sing at all and simply stand cross armed all game. That said, they pay for their ST, their choice I suppose.
I do like what BA try to do but the NS is still the natural main singing section and without anything spreading across the NS, barely any atmosphere will get going. |  | | |

I can promise you as a NSU ST holder there was almost no noise travelling upstairs Vs Fulham | | | |

As someone that sits in SAR, I cannot hear BA at all. The NSL has definitely become worse since the BA move unfortunately and the overall atmosphere around the ground is pretty poor these days.
Sadly unless we drop down a division and sit there for a few years, it’s unlikely we’re going to be able to accommodate BA back in the NSL. | | | |

They all got old but refuse to accept it and move to another stand to make room for people that actually want to shout, sing and make an atmosphere. | | | |

I think it's just the 80/90s lads are collecting their pensions tbh.
There are games it's been lively with two tiers in the early days. The rest of the ground has never been very quiet outside a few pockets like J block back in the day (talking of lads). [Post edited 15 Oct 14:56]

Just a shame the away supporters are stuck in a corner far away from the North stand and Block A.
The best atmosphere in the PL would be created each game, if the 3 was closer together. | | | |

For whatever acoustic reason, the sound does not travel well. I am at the North end of the Westa Stand and it rarely sounds alive and loud. Fulham fans were pretty terrible. |
Don’t agree, I sit in SAR Upper and if they want to the North Stand does make noise but they just don’t do it. | | | |

Certainly an underwhelming atmosphere until near the end.
But I don't think it helps that we don't have the more catchy tunes of recent years. |  | | |
