This channel is where Sky will be broadcasting some of the games when the Premier League starts. 25 games in total plus 4 on BBC along with a"bumper crop" of Match of the Day. Also 4 from Amazon via online streaming with no need for Amazon Prime subscription. Total of 33 not bad really.

Wonder if they will have canned chanting

Aren’t BT doing crowd noise on the red button for the German footy so you can choose to have it with or without? I haven’t watched any of that so don’t know if it adds to the spectacle or just annoys me.

I read Joe Root wanting Barmy Army chants playing when the Cricket starts back up as well.

I aint got BT but have bought a month NowTV Sky sports pass for my Now Box (stick now) for £25. Not sure if Sky will have any background "noise".

Cant speak for the players, but would rather watch footy without the canned crowd noise. Watching Dortmund game at the moment. One thing I will say , is lack of crowd favours the better teams, some one sided games in Bundesliga as the better technical teams run riot, shows how a crowd can help the teams near the bottom , geeing up players and haranguing the officials etc. I reckon Liverpool like Bayern will be coasting through games.

Liverpool already were but I get your drift Mr Horden.
