You're right it is. I should have added IMO.
And I think that's exactly what's happened at Wigan yes. At any Wigan home game for the last few seasons they've been unsure of the outcome. At most Leeds home games, we're sure we're going to win, it's just by how many. The only at these games it gets really loud is when it looks like we're going to get turned over.

There's no doubt that the atmosphere in the SS has wained since we became good. In 2003/2004 time it was much louder than it is now. The only games it's ever loud for these days are Saints, Wigan and Bradford. The rest of the time all our fans just expect us to win, moan when we're not and clap along when we score. That doesn't mean to say that seating is the answer though. The Wigan fans have been louder than us for a few seasons now.

You need to lose more games and no longer be favourites in every match. That'll sort it!

does that mean their supporters should be the loudest?

Tannoy in the Southstand was quietest it has been for a long time, couldnt hear the welsh lass sing or any announcements - if theyd started to demolish it on friday i wouldnt hear them warn everyone
they might if there are any potential corporates in the Southstand

There are normally speakers placed along the South Stand touchline to assist the existing house PA system. These were not put in on Friday because of the snow and the frost sheets piled up on the South side of the pitch.

This is great news! It is a shame that the demolition didn't start on Friday then!

They certainly booed their team off much more loudly on Sunday than we booed the Rhinos off on Friday.

Not sure about the Southstand, but the West & East Terrace tannoys are too quiet. You just can't hear whats happening on the pitch.


Maybe it's so GH can keep the winnings from the Golden Gamble 'cause no one can hear the numbers

looks like it is just the one stand where the tannoy works!

SouthStand & Standing Area's 0 - All Seated Area's 1

Again, your assertion that tannoy function is in some way causally linked to the presence of seating is flawed at best.
