huss9 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 poor acoustics stop the atmosphere passing round to the rest of the ground. Aye, I preferred the 36k configuration for atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerof69 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Atmosphere wasn't great but the crowd stuck with the team well imo. Not many moans and groans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Horrendous atmosphere. We make the Emirates seem noisy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 It sounded pretty rubbish atmosphere, disappointing. Really need the crowd to fire up the players if we don't get off to a cracking start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The lads up in the new singing section on the TF matchday podcast thing they're doing were quite scathing about fans especially in the Gallowgate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Was that singing section in the gallowgate loud at least? They too far back to pick up on the TV mics or something? seemed quiet on TV too Even the Sky co-commentator had a pop at the fans and the (lack of) noise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 strange. we were in the gallowgate and it was canny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Yeah, couldn't hear much on TV except the odd bit of Spurs fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 In the Gallowgate it sounded great at times, like. I think the overhang traps a lot of the sound because I'll often come away thinking it's been loud then see criticism of the noise from elsewhere.

Tiresias Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I only was only hearing through sky broadcast, I did think it sounded quiet but could be all kinds of factors in that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Wouldn't surprise me if Ashley asked Sky to turn down the microphone's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 even when they were winning and started their "oh when the spurs", we drowned it out with the "mags" version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigalf78 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Was in the Gallowgate upper myself, and can confirm sounded a lot better there, than it came across on sky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Toon Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I sit in the Gallowgate middle, 2 sections from the strawberry corner and as per usual the atmosphere was decent. Didn't hear Spurs one jot until they scored and in our end my head was ringing a few times due to the din from us. It never EVER comes across well on TV unless Sky or the usual media spin stick their microphones amongst the 30 crystal palace fans with a drum and try to pass it off as Brazil in the Maracana.

Wallsendmag Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Atmosphere was great in the first half, died away in the 2nd half when we just couldn't get hold of the ball. Spurs fans were terrible, only heard them after they scored their goals and couldn't sell their allocation. Manquillo and Murphy have both commented on how noisy it was so I think it's just a case of the Sky Mics not picking it up properly which applies to all the big stadiums.

Stifler Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So the council are employing a highways contractor to bring in concrete blocks for before and after every home game. It would be a hell of a lot cheaper for them to just move the existing gates from the Olympics further down the road and add new ones where needed.

Atleast with the gates closed people have the ability to discourse to the Metro station and through the different streets in safety. My main concern is terrorism or a run away vehicle, having a few cones out like they did yesterday will not stop either, having closed gates will.
