A massive chunk of the Alf Ramsey upper didn’t even get up to celebrate Jack Clarkes goal. |  |

It took a while yesterday from the south stand to realise we had been awarded a pen - barely a cheer from the North stand. Crowd really was poor yesterday - and after GON had said in recent interviews how important the crowd is. I truly believe had the crowd got behind the team more/made more noise at 1-2 we may of got an equaliser. |
Most of us in the North Stand were going, "How on Earth is that a penalty?" I think.
Will back what others are saying too. Try and get a chant going, barely anyone joins in. |  |

Unfortunately some fans are being priced out of it. Having to get a membership to have a chance of a ticket is not great for some fans. If 4 of you want to go together, you need 4 memberships...!
I know that's the price of the premier league, but it opens it up to other people who go when we are in this league.... | | | |

Said it for years, PR is never going to be a relentless and noisy ground for 90mins regardless of what's happening on the pitch, we need to react to what is happening and be inspired by something - completely normal for 99% of English clubs these days.
When we get going, we are loud, but when you concede two crap goals at the start of each half it knocks the enthusiasm out of people and frustration sets in. As others have said, easy to point out the North Lower being quieter than normal, but where are the other three stands making noise? Could hear a pin drop in those stands, they have a responsibility to be involved too.
I've been in the Lower North 15 years and one thing I notice more now than ever is the amount of people that come in there to experience the atmosphere, but don't join in, then wonder why it's quieter. That's young lads too btw, some of the older regulars around me give it alot more than some of the teenagers that are in there.
I honestly wonder if the best place for BA is in the South Stand lower next to the away fans - they won't get back in the Lower North where the majority of singers are, and the section they're currently in has horrendous acoustics. They never should have moved really. |  | | |

Standard Premier League crowd. The "product " wasn't good enough so the "customers " didn't clap and cheer much. |  |

Where I sit, NSU Pioneer side, I can hear the away fans as if they are next to me. incredibly loud even when you can visibly see only 50/60 clapping along.
Even when i see the same number of BA doing the same, I don't hear them anything like the away end. Now for me that's just how noise travels with the roof etc, surely. |
Well they have 3 sections the away fans. Imagine BA having enough numbers to spread across 60% of the cobbold stand, that would be the equivalent, and then the noise would be far more comparable. | |

As someone hinted in this thread, I think that the fans of most clubs are critical of the atmosphere at their home grounds. Perhaps those who are regulars at Town’s away matches can give some insight. I think it is fair to say that our away support is as good as that of most clubs | | | |

I can't say there is any Premier League ground I've visited in the last couple of years which had much in the way of atmosphere but our away fans have generally been very good. Indeed, we got some good feedback from the fans of other clubs the last time we were in the Premier League.
Incidentally, Jim White was waxing lyrical about Newcastle's away support at Fulham at the weekend but Simon Jordan said he had never found the atmosphere at St James Park particularly good.
As it is, I think the best atmosphere I've experienced in the last few years was at Portsmouth last season. It is a good, old fashioned ground, and they were fighting for their lives, but had we gone 2-0 up against them, I doubt it would have been anywhere near as good. [Post edited 9 Nov 16:03]

Another reason Leeds and Sunderland done well after promotion. Portman Road is not an intimidating enough place to go and play football. |  |
