On the seemingly few games I can make this season I try and rouse the TE back to its former glory, but the problem is all the singers moved to the EE so I'm often a lone voice.If we could get the whole stadium in full voice I reckon our home form would improve As a mainstander and someone who would rather die than sing in public, I must admit to being one of the non-joiner-inners (although I certainly do my bit where incoherent voluble outbursts are concerned...). I'm afraid you just have to accept that not everyone in a ground (perhaps even half or more of them) are ever going to join in the songs/chants. It's the same more or less everywhere - for instance, Arsenal's ground wasn't called the Library for nothing - and once the seats went in at Upton Park and they moved the main stand so far back, even there the old 'wall of noise' that so intimidated visiting teams faded away. That's why the EE has been so important for us - the combination of its excellent acoustics and the room for singers to gather together has allowed a relatively small group of fans to really get the atmosphere going. Unfortunately, the same isn't true for the TE. I stood in there for years, so I know how loud it can sound to those in the 'shed', but the noise just doesn't travel for some reason. From the main stand, you can see the singing and chanting, but you can hardly hear it. Once the TE is replaced by an EE-type stand, the atmosphere should get even better ("can you hear the Elvis End sing?"), As long as it's not all-seater - nothing kills atmosphere as quickly as making a stadium all-seater. Oh well, I'll avoid the Nou Camp then.

I was there 6 weeks ago and apart from a group low down behind one goal (obviously the Barca massive) there was hardly a peep from anyone! They were more interested in waving the free flags they handed out, and this was the local derby against Espanyol So yes cr@p atmosphere!

It's a massive atmosphere around Barcelona at the moment - just not in the football stadium. Just as well for the pro-independence Catalans that Franco isn't in charge, otherwise he's have found a different use for the Nou Camp.
