well I was amused by the cardboard cut out crowds in the Geman leagues.... it did look quite good though.
See that's a good idea. Charge a price to have a cardboard cut out put in a seat and when it's over get a player to sign the back of it before it's given to you. It would be better than looking at empty plastic seats and it's another revenue stream for clubs. Canned crowd noise though that's an awful idea.
Adam Hinchcliff proposed this a few years ago to improve the atmosphere at Oakwell and hatmasks no doubt he’s made a bob or two out of this pandemic
I can remember many years ago they did try that at Oakwell putting crowd noise thru the big speakers they had mounted on the Ponte End. Didn't last long because the authorities stopped it
