Home advantage (4 Viewers)

With mixed results last for teams playing in front of fans, do home teams in tier 2 have an unfair advantage?

Not at all.
To some extent.
Very much so.
Don't know.

Yes they do. They can go to the pub again.

And get a scotch egg

That will be my substantial meal. And I can eat them all day long so can stay in the pub as long as I like

Wycombe lost at home for the first time in 4 so don't think it really matters

And Luton beat leaders Norwich...but who knows. Wish we were tier 2 though!

had this convo with the old man, yes totally unfair advantage should bring all fans back in any amount or none at all in my opinion, as what player wouldnt love to score infront of fans or influence the ref to a certain degree

I think it is an advantage as playing at home has counted for nothing so far. It is what it is, the good boys and girls in tier 2 get extra privileges.

I agree in principle, be interesting to see some figures to see if teams with home fans are performing better. I guess the flip side is it will motivate away players who love winding up the oppo fans...

Wycombe had fans in yesterday and their little mini run came crashing down.

But in general there is a n advantage with home fans in a stadium.

I wonder how many champ clubs have fans in now?

What are the options again?

I bet Shipley was relieved we were in tier 3 just imagine what the boo boys would do to him

 

[stevefloyd]

To be fair we were losing and scored in the dying minutes of 2 games, would we have done that with a crowd however small getting on the players backs?

One game though tbf. Under normal circumstances there is a home advantage, what I’m wondering is if that translates into an advantage this season for clubs with 2/4K fans dotted around vs those of us without. You’d imagine so, but

So they are banging on about the fans being back is making a huge difference in the Arse game. I’m starting to think this is actually quite significant. Some areas (West Midlands) are likely to be in tier 3 until at least January (and let’s not forget the impact Christmas and students moving will have).

How is this situation fair? We really don’t need any extra hills to climb this season.
