Fans an unfair advantage?

[Harry's Game]

No one is going to have fans in after next week until April at the earliest

Fair comment. They seem to be making it up as they go along, like the government! I can understand fans being reintroduced as quickly as possible on the lower leagues as the revenue could mean the difference to some clubs surviving or sadly folding. The revenue from 2,000 fans to a premier league club doesn’t make a jot of difference but in a game of fine margins, the advantage could be telling. For me it’s all or nothing.

Yeah it’s been a bodge from start to finish.

And very true.

I want fans back as much as the next person. I’ve missed going to watch the blades with my dad on a weekend it’s a ritual we just can’t share anymore and watching it on tv just isn’t the same. But after today’s game I really feel fans are a competitive advantage in how they can put pressure on officials and lift their team. My point is is it fair for certain teams to be allowed this competing advantage and not others?

Fans a massive advantage. No fans is far and away the main reason we're struggling since March, in my opinion.

Parity for all is needed.

I wonder, even just as an acknowledgement, whether the fans present have applauded both sides, in the absence of opposition fans?

My parents live to our right. Grandparents to the left.

Stuck in the middle with you?

Having recently played in front of fans at both Brighton and Southampton, both are now entering tier 4. The whole thing makes absolutely zero sense. So not only do teams gain an advantage from playing in front of fans, there's no consistency it all comes down to timing. It may be that our fellow relegation candidates get to play the same fixtures without home support.

Such a lack of parity.

The Southampton fans were booing Enda Stevens for the audacity of once playing for Portsmouth. So, no I guess not.

We're averaging more points with opposition fans, than we are without them.

We would actually surpass Derby's points total based on our average points per game with fans in. So they must be allowed to attend at all costs.

this. Clubs have played differently without the pressure of fans. I'm not sure having fans always helps other clubs.
