I just don't see any improvements in the near future to the atmosphere at British football grounds. 1 - A serious reduction in ticket prices to make football accessible to the working/lower -middle class. 2- An increase in 18-30 year old fans who probably make the lion-share of the noise 3- An end to aggressive stewarding and politically correct language guidelines that make many people fear criminal repercussions for passionate displays. 4- The introduction of safe-standing areas. 5- The increased vocality of some tourists or corporate fans, or the understanding that they sit in specific areas. I think all five of those things would have to happen before you saw anything like what they have in somewhere like Germany. However it's not in the commercial interests of those who run the show and so I see no reason why any of them will occur. Plus, your average football fan is probably changing into someone who may not want any of those things anyway.
