Managers used to say they wanted to keep us quiet back when we were in the conference in league 2 and were always a bigger club for those leagues.
We are about average I would say in terms of noise and support. We have a well above average away support.
The main difference I’ve seen from all sides since games were players behind closed doors is very slow play, no urgency. Teams game manage their wins, it’s harder to do this when there’s 7000 fans whistling and shouting at them.
All teams managers etc talk about the 12th man and it’s a mixture of truth, sycophancy on part of the managers (who want to keep fans feeing important) and cliche in equal measure.
I think it stops timewasting and it can also turn cards from yellow to red if the reaction is big enough.
I wouldn’t say in league one our crowd gives us any sort of edge compared with the teams we are with. Sunderland get an edge. We aren’t Sunderland.

I’ve never really understood the view of opposing managers on our support. IMO it’s been appalling at the mem for a fair few years now. Very rarely loud and the variety of songs limited. I’m hoping this pandemic will change our level of support on our return.

I’m hoping this pandemic will change our level of support on our return. The "singing section" at Wembley was certainly anything but. The silent section was more like it.

I don't really hear the Mem rocking much, or at least not really since promotion from L2.
I sometimes think the crunch from my overcooked pasty drowns out the sporadic noise from the North terrace.
Bit of a myth, this 12th Man thing.
I'm feeling very cynical and bored with this bloody virus tonight. Hence the cynical comments.
I'm sure Mr Tisdale will lighten my gloom once he's got his Gucci loafers under the table.
