Why is this being made an arguement with fans who are allowed fans in arguing its OK and those who arent arguing it's not.

Why can't it be an adult conversation whwrw9irs debated about sensibly.

We clearly could gain an unfair advantage over Arsenal. I don't agree we should.

How can anyone possibly argue that playing with fans is no advantage to playing without.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've not argued against your point,but in a normal season those teams playing in front of bigger crowds at home ALWAYS have an advantage.

Do you get fans of those clubs crying their eyes out when they have a poor run of results.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Clubs build their own stadiums and create their own fan base and accomdate them accordingly. I think you are trying to twist this just to try and gain some sort of argument to this, even though they are unrelated.

Cry their eyes out

A stadium of 25K Palace fans make more noise than 60K Arsenal fans, so your argument is, well, basically flawed.

Anyway I'm sure everyone will be in tier 3 soon enough so if there is an advantage it will be gone in the next few weeks. As for us it didn't help us, we won 2 games we would expect to win at home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I agree that Liverpool would have won. I still think its an unfair advantage. I think you playing at Palace with no fans was more of an advantage over us playing there with 2k hardcore home fans. You just happened to win 7-0 so that probably stops the debate over that result.

Exactly, seems like a few fans have thrown the towel in because of a couple of defeats

They are as bad as Mourihno after defeat.Blame everything else for it and look for any excuse.

I suppose after 60 years without winning the league they've perfected the art of the excuse.

No excuses from me. The football is dire and the team are weak and the club is soft.

Fair point

Hopefully the disadvantage doesn't last too long, otherwise I do feel like it has an impact and thought the blame isn't laid on any team, it's just we should strive to have a league where all the clubs compete under the same circumstances

Agree it's an advantage for clubs with fans but this just seems to be looking for an excuse. As you've said the club seems to have a weak mentality

What are you on about?
Why do we need any excuse?
We are exactly well places to take the CL place which is what I have been saying and have just come through a tough set of fixtures.

its minor, footballs strange atm everyones just trying to deal with it best they can.

Seasons have always thrown obstacles in the way for every club this is just another minor one on top. Footballs never been 100% fair and never will be, its impossible to be so. In a way overcoming these obstacles and unfairness makes any type of success that bit more sweeter.

Interesting read..so no advantage then.

To be fair, a standard punishment for clubs is to make them play behind closed doors, so presumably the powers that be acknowledge it to be a disadvantage to the home team.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think the main reason to do this is because of the gate receipts etc aswell as punishing the fans. Often playing behind closed doors is due to fan behaviour

I don't buy that top players go off their game because 2k people are booing them.
Most pl players garages hold that many people 😅

You don't think the Anfield crowd singing YNWA doesn't help Liverpool?
Would you be ok if they did away with that?

I think any football fan wants crowds back ASAP but the study proves that statistically the results show very little difference which is what the op asked.

All stadiums should be empty or have 2000 fans, no inbetween. Not a fair playing field. The 2000 fans make quite a bigger impact than you would assume.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed. I think it’s very unfair.

You haven't answered the question:
Does the crowd singing YNWA at Anfield help the team or not?
I think it does hugely.

The integrity of the competition has been compromised again. They should have kept fans away the whole season. Covid is not going away any time soon, they were too quick to allow fans back, it has made a mockery of the PL again.

That's how I feel to. It's not about one team or another, it's just a question of ensuring the level paying field is respected

The op was does it give an advantage. The study suggests there is little difference in outcomes. Im sure the players love hearing the fans sing but opposing players would have to be very mentally weak for them to be affected. Maybe that is what your issue is. I'm not sure as you are changing it.

Never mind, maybe in 60 years time you might get the perfect storm that allows the poor little spuddies to win a PL title. Until then 'keep crying & stay bitter'
