But that's a similar problem at the Etihad, and it intensely annoys me. People talk about the shit atmosphere, but I'm certain that a lot of people have simply been bludgeoned into not singing or talking (or shouting). Especially at half-time, I can't stand the stupid its-a-knockout type animations that they put on, with someone on the p.a. getting in your ear right through the fifteen minutes. Just let us think about what we've just seen and, hey, maybe chat to our neighbour in the row for a few minutes about it? Would that be impossible? Would that be terrifying?
I suspect the kids love it. They've been brought up on this junk food for the ears and eyes.
