Anythoughts ?

Arsenal apparently looking at beaming in video of fans watching on zoom = cant see that adds anything.

Best I've seen is the cut outs of fans occupying seats with the money raised going to charity, at least it looks better than empty seats.

Other options are chants pumped in over the PA system.

Should we be doing anything to give us an edge or as Paul would say .. improve the product for the customer.

Apologies for a football thread

Play something with words and harmonies overlapping, make it feel like a real matchday.

I'd go for "FIFA style" audio being pumped in.

Whatever, we'll get used to it all soon enough

23,000 Ball boys and girls, sat in the stands ready to act in the event the ball heads into touch - they could hold a ballot to select them from the 23,000 ST holders we have

I hadn’t considered that point but presumably all games will be multi ball?

In the bundesliga there has been a marked increase to the amount of time the ball is in play in games up from c60 to 72m out of the 90. Under Potter that might give us an edge.

As for back OT I think the best idea I read somewhere was to have huge tarpaulins stretched over the lower tiers that tv bods could superimpose generic crowd footage much like one can add custom backgrounds to Zoom calls and then pipe noise in. *shrug*

I am worried we play much better without the pressure of a crowd, and next year Barber ban all fans from Amex. On the plus side we finish next year in the top six!!!!

Posted earlier on another thread. Some relevant bits:

Just dropped in by accident on the Benfica match for the last 20 minutes. Very clean, open game. Little dissent, no rolling on the pitch banging the ground in agony. A bit sterile, but the PA operator worked the crowd noise well, feeding in a few whistles and boos when he though the ref gave the wrong decision against the home team, Benfica. Ground was decorated with home scarves draped across each seat, no away scarves at all to maximise home advantage. Cramp kicked in a few times after about 75 minutes reflecting fitness levels. I guess if all the teams are in the same boat, it's a way to tidy up the season. Hopefully the Premier League will play out neatly with no change to the current positions, then nobody can argue too much about the methodology or the outcome. And we'll stay up
