Anyone else struggling to get into and enjoy games without the fans and the atmosphere?

For me its flat, the fans are such a massive part of our game, its a struggle to get into the game. Worryingly a lot of workmates have said they haven't really missed the footie.

I've got to confess TG I didn't miss it that much either mate, I missed the banter but actually watching games wasn't that huge a loss and trying to get back into it without the fans I've found it virtually impossible to get involved in games at all.
I had absolutely no idea how important the atmosphere created by the fans was to the overall product itself.

I haven't enjoyed a game yet, and have fallen asleep several times. I'm not good at watching games as a neutral, but right now I can't watch any thing. Oh wait I think Burnley just scored, missed it, I'll catch up at the post game Autopsy.

Without the fans its a little like watching overly cautious training sessions. We're not exactly a creative attacking side anymore which doesn't help either, but I've certainly lost all interest in neutral games.
The incredibly unrealistic fake crowd noise only seems to make it worse as well. Feel a more constant crowd noise would have been better than this wack DJ with the over the top boo/ cheer buttons.

One thing it has shown is that in a sport so dominated by money from sponsors and TV companies it's still 100% reliant on fans to make it work and it's only as strong as the fans interest in it.
