However, after what i thought was a good atmosphere on Saturday, I am now coming around to thinking that its more the way the stadium has been constructed as being the biggest influence. But, why is this, as its all enclosed with fairly low roofs, its pretty conventional in design. Is it possible that the plastic cladding, which other grounds don't have lets out the noise too easily or perhaps the open spaces at each corner have a major effect? It would be good if there's anyone on here, who has a construction or some form of scientifc knowledge who has an opinion on this.

You may have a point. I was in the Canton and the atmosphere was one of the best of the season. Some fans in the Ninian stated that Pompey sang well, I could bearly hear Pompey in the Canton.
But look at our 2nd leg play off last season against Leicester and you will realise that that atmosphere was better than most days at Ninian Park because everyone in the ground sang including the grandstand. It needs all our fans to sing together and hopefully we get an early goal Saturday to prove the point and get the ground rocking.

That's the point though Malaga, you guys in the Canton obviously sing your hearts out, but we can barely hear you at our end of the Ninian, and at times it was rocking in 116, 117, and 118 of the Ninian on Saturday, but by the mere fact that the Canton stand didn''t join in with us, it obviously means that you can hardly hear us either. It means to me that our supporters haven't lost the passion from ninian Park, they are just being made to work twice as hard to generate a decent atmosphere.
