Buzz in the Crowd
I have been to a handful of games over the years as a neutral and scores of aways games in the distant past.
With the exception of the visit to City ground when Forest was manager for Forest and a promotion Division 3 encounter at the Old Den, and WHL with a 48,000 crowd I think the Goldstone and the Amex was/is 10% better atmosphere than most crowds with 20,000 inside.
Back in the sixties and early seventies, a big matches (precious few) were electric and there was the roar which has disappeared. The Goldstone needed a big crowd because the noise blew away in the air.
