family Boxing Day do! So was Stamford Bridge anymore soulless than the Highbury Library aka the Emirates? In terms of dire, passionless atmosphere that took the biscuit.

I agree that the atmosphere at the 'top 6' clubs is generally poor, particularly Man U & Woolwich.
However, from the alternative perspective, when we were still at WHL i used to enjoy seeing the newly promoted teams come to visit. Because it was all new to them their fans used to make some great noise & create a great atmosphere. However, almost to a team, by the second season (assuming they stayed up) they would have less fans & make less noise & by the third, it would be even worse.
It is understandable though. As i said, the first season it is all new & a new ground to visit after achieving the 'holy grail' of the Premier League, thereafter, for most teams at least it is a case of 'hoping to get a point' which gets a bit soul destroying considering the cost & the time & effort fans have gone to.
As for the Wembley atmosphere, i agree it is terrible. The accoustics certainly don't help though, from my block behind the goal at the opposite end, it is almost as hard to hear the away fans. Really can't wait to get in to the new ground.

When Brighton play the "big clubs" there will be more tourists in attendance. Lass at work takes her boy to one or two Man U games a year. They live near Hemel Hempstead. The reason they chose Brighton is because there were plenty of tickets available. Same when they went to see Man U play Hull last year etc. Brighton are not a draw to crowds so those games will attract the tourist/visit once a year/plastic fans because tickets are easy to get.

Whoever said it's like when we played Burton last season hit the nail on the head. There was a sell out crowd at the Amex and it was very quiet even when the 4th goal went in.

I thought that too. I was a couple of rows back from the very low looking safety rail at the front and thought "if we score someone is going over that"
