Spot on. There’s no doubt that the ear splitting volume of the PA system precludes an atmosphere building organically.Or turn all the shite off , didn't have too bad an effect at Maine Rd when the system failed and the crowd actually had to make some noise.
Add to this the fact that daytrippers or tourists are less likely to join in with attempts from singing sections to generate an atmosphere if they’re watching corporate cheese on the big screen.
Call me cynical but Soriano et al are very clever men, they fully understand that legacy fans want a real atmosphere whereas daytrippers (who don’t know any better) will enjoy manufactured cheese and so the club tailor the match day experience accordingly to attract the kind of fans they want
