Same here. I estimated that there was about 100 of them.
Remember the gantry in the middle of the Bob Bank, the tv crew used to have a microphone hanging down above the crowd (I use the word crowd
That was our chosen spot in the early 80s when we weren't playing, usually evening games. Unfortunately that seemed to be Dai Hunt's favoured spot as well so what BBC Wales probably picked up are the kind of seal noises Attenborough is trying to preserve 40 years on!.Remember the gantry in the middle of the Bob Bank, the tv crew used to have a microphone hanging down above the crowd (I use the word crowd
This changes things a bit if so.
Boredom, lack of atmosphere, seeing it at the Spain friendly at the Millennium a few years ago, and thinking it was the norm.
I had a ticket, work is killing me off lately with everything else I've got going on, I was sleeping by the time we scored last night..I apologise for going to the game, should have watched it on the telly
Well done for going, even if you didn't hear them and they had microphones near by they were outnumbered by a distance with more Welsh fans in the same section who I couldn't hear...
Stamp on that asap. Absolute nonsense
I certainly didn't see it.
That part of the grandstand is comp tickets, journalists and old doddery folks. TV mics are never reflective of being there in person.
It’s evident when you watch PL games and places like the Emirates and Anfield are a cauldron of noise. When in reality they’re closer to a thimble of noise.
Mics only reach that small part of the ground do they? Never going to pick up the other 20000 odd? Sure.
You’re right. The 100 or so Latvians were louder than the 33,000 Welsh fans. If someone had sneezed next to a mic then that must mean everyone in the ground had a cold lol
Mics aren’t representative of what it’s like in the ground. The audio levels get adjusted and get changed throughout the game too. Sky got caught out cutting mics in one part of the stadium when, I think, Boro or Derby fans were singing “**** Sky TV” lol
You'd think even with the mic being closer to they'd be heard yes, but surely the larger support would be heard over such a small number?
Not necessarily.
With the Latvian fans being so close to the commentators, their noise would've been picked up by their lip mics. They cut out most other noise but picking up some nearby noise is unavoidable. General crowd noise would be picked up by other mics around the ground and their level controlled separately, so as not to make the commentary inaudible.
Kas. Par. Spēli. Man stāsta, ka mūs ļoti labi varēja pa TV dzirdēt. Pāri simtam Latvijas fanu uz 30k izpārdotu Velsas stadionu! @kajbumba @PaParisKausiem #11vilki pic.twitter.com/D8Sykm15ex

"Beastie laughing caught by Wrexham, hey, hey!"
It all makes sense now....
Is that it? No wonder I never heard them.
They had to turn the thousands of Welsh fans riiiight down on the mic so we didn't hear them and it wasn't inaudible, and turn up 27 Latvians to get the balance right, or something, on TV.
I'm glad I fell asleep half hour in.
