[Football] Crowd noise ?

[sparkie]

I really liked the crowd noise today.

There's no option for 'take it or leave', but as others have pointed out, it's not as cringe-worthy as I had expected.

 

[Icy Gull]

Enjoyed it, noisier than a regular game at the Amex and no crowd groans either

 

[METALMICKY]

Really like it which was unexpected.

 

[Alfagull]

I loved the ironic cheer when the Arsenal keeper kicked it straight out.
Needs you're shit waaaaaaaaa!

I watched the end of the Watford match with the crowd noise on, that was enough, switched off the crowd noise for our match.

BT’s much better than Sky’s. Was actually in sync.

 

[pocketseagull]

It could have been turned up to 11 but instead it's been a lot more subtle than expected. Just an ambient reminder of what should be and easily better than the sound of an under 23 match imo

 

[Nibbler]

I'm in favour of the crowd noise, especially the attention to detail from the beeb. Ten minutes before the end of the Bournemouth v Palace game they fade up the 'come on Bournemouth' chant.

Class.

Thought lack of sound gave the Arse an unfair advantage, so watched it with a crowd.

 

[clapham_gull]

Very much yes.

Obviously a bit of an experiment, but well done the live sound mixers. Loved the fake boos at the end.

Real technical expertise at play.

 

[London Irish]

Kind of ridiculous, a big cheer when Mooy’s shot was saved WTF? I turned it off at half time, listening to the real shouts of the coaches and the players more interesting

 

[atomised]

I thought I'd hate it but makes it far easier to watch

 

[DavePage]

I liked he long pauses of silence, very authentic add that too the sound of people shuffling out an the 83 min onward, brilliant.

 

[nickjhs]

I already did a poll for this, that being said I find it kind of sad, somewhat childish even, that people need fake noise to get into the game. I can watch it without the bullshit crowd noise but unfortunately I don't seem to be able to watch replays without it .

 

[Eeyore]

Didn't like the idea initially but I find the experience much better. It actually made me forget that there wasn't a crowd at times.

Some people have said the games feel like training matches. I think that is because there isn't a crowd and no other reason. Ironically, with the crowd noise on it feels more authentic.

 

[Norman Potting]

I am in the "surprised that I enjoyed the fake noise" category. Would love to see how it is done and agree that the addition of a "you're shit..." button would enhance the experience.

 

[nwgull]

I like it. Watching without is like watching Kuwait v Luxembourg in the group stages of an Olympic tournament that I barely know the rules of.

 

[The Mole]

Like many I am surprised I prefer the fake crowd noise. They should add the Bissouma song to it though - I think that would have been sung. A few times yesterday

Not a fan , Maupays goal was greeted with the loudest REAL cheering iv'e heard so far from the games on the TV , i presume a microphone was in the right place at the right time rather than the amount of people in the stadium to pump up the volume .
