If you can't watch football with no noise then you're not a fan of football, you're a fan of "atmosphere"

stupid comment

not really, there is some truth in that. i've watched many games over the years that seemed to have no fans anyway.

Maybe you're a fan of the whole package, and a diluted product isn't for you? Like someone said, it's a bit like alcohol free lager. You've get the same taste but no buzz.

I watch probably 80% of my football inside stadiums so it matters a big deal to me as I know exactly how important the role of a crowd can have at key moments.

Whilst I've no problem whatsoever with football being played at the moment, it absolutely isn't for me. I got hooked on going to football as a kid due to the pull ofnthe crowd and the tribalism of it all. I still get that knot in my stomach as the roar goes up at the first whistle. Take that away and it's not the game I fell in love with, more of an exhibition or a friendly, and I only go to those for the p-ss up. I'm happy to just wait it out til I can get back in my seat.

fair enough champers but i am so looking forward to this. like don said of course its better with fans but since there are none it will have to do.

Totally get it from your side mate, sure you'll go up one way or another.
