Canned crowds

Posted by wazzamatta on May 21, 2020 at 3:43am

It’s worked for all the great sitcoms. Home ground advantage should mean having someone up in the box pressing buttons for a crowd “cheering” for points scored, chants of “parra” when it’s time to get behind the boys, and “bullshit” for bad calls.

Strangely enough, the first season the Broncos were in the comp (we lived in Qld) my old man (a saints fan) took me to a Broncos/saints game. At one point he said “Hang on, they’ve got bloody canned crowds!” Sure enough, no one around us was making a peep and the “broncos” chants were coming out of the loud speakers.

Good enough Seinfeld and the Broncos, good enough for the Mighty Eels.

Roll out the laughter when Cameron Smith gets hammered?

Now we can have 50 people in pubs. Foxsports could organise an NRL pub venue to record some crowd noise.
