The players certainly didn't seem to.
With careful placement of banners and flags to blanket the banks of vacant seating, strategically sited cardboard cut outs of the images of certain individual fans and the clever use of tv generated crowd noise with the appropriate and timely chants, cheers, whistles, howls and groans, it had eveything that the armchair football fan could wish for.
What do you reckon? |  | | |  |

Not at all after about the first 20 mins - the noise was done really well and as there is no need to look at the stands, I zoned out and just enjoyed the football with the buzz that was created.
It was a bit lacking when the goals went in as that is when the crowd shots help with the experience, but whatever, better than I expected.
Having said that, a decent performance and a win helped ;) |  |

If the match doesn't involve your own team and you watch it without the crowd noise then you certainly miss the crowd. It seems more like a training game. Seeing your own team playing well and winning is always going to seem good. But, the noise of a crowd certainly enhances it. We have a few blind fans at St Mary's who go there just to experience that.
I feel sorry for those loyal fans of every club who've not missed a game, home or away, for years. Sitting at home watching it on TV must be agonising for them.
If Saints continue to play like this for the remainder of the season, it's going to give a hell of a boost to season ticket sales. Personally, can't wait to be back at St Mary's again. [Post edited 20 Jun 2020 8:53]

At least Three Saints fans managed to watch game from hotel at ground

The slight delay of the roar when goals were scored was a bit odd but apart from that it was ok. |  | | |

I had the crowd noise on at first but found it repetitive and annoying so turned it off and thought it was much better, this is the future, everyone armchair fans. Will be like being a Liverpool fan. |  |

After getting a great win, it makes it harder to accept that I had a ticket for this game, so I didn't miss the crowd, but missed being in the crowd. |  |

Yep, this sums it up for me. I had a ticket too, and just wanted to be there celebrating. But enjoyed a Saints win nonetheless. | |

I watched the second half and thoroughly enjoyed it, thoughts Saints could have should have had a hatful. Turned the sound off too. So far it’s been alright, the comeback but as match going fans I think the novelty will wear out and there won’t be much appetite for it as we go into next season. | | | |

Ditto, and said to the missus that I should have been there to see that. She said "but they're not letting any fans in" .................... so I let her win that one to keep the peace 
But must admit that if this nonsense hadn't ocurred, I wonder if it would have been the same outcome. We were not exactly playing at our best back in March and with a full house of all yellow shirts it may have been a different tale. Even more so if they'd have started the way they did last night |  | | |
