Are they piping in crowd noise?

Described by the commentator as "Virtual Crowd Noise" to improve the the match atmosphere. Next idea is to have a cardboard or similar cut out figure with the fan's head superimposed sitting in his prescribed seat for a small dollar cost.

In South Korea recently at a football game they used scores of sex dolls to simulate a crowd- that idea didn't last long!

According to the new rules a penalty can be awarded if persistent offenses occur in the ruck area.

I liked it,i was watching some of the Bundesliga Football and didn't like it at all.Players shouting echoing around the arena.At least it creates a little bit of atmosphere.

I agree. Not too intrusive, you could still hear the players shouting, just the right level. It added to the watching experience. Fine until spectators are allowed back in.

Seconded. I'm now more confident our games will come across better assuming of course that Sky do the same thing.

I really liked the crowd noise, it was just right. I'm of the same opinion when watching sport without any sort of background fan noise it just seems flat to me. As for the game, you wouldn't think they've not played for the last 8 weeks or so! What a pace it was played at! I'm still undecided on the 6 to go rule.

Give it a couple of weeks and they'll steal the crowd noise for Premier League Soccer and it'll be hailed an 'innovation'.
