Following the international break, play resumed at Carrow Road over the weekend where Norwich City took on Barnsley.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw, but despite the result, fans were less than impressed, with many taking to social media on Saturday evening to berate the lack of atmosphere in the ground.
Lee Payne tweeted: 'The match day experience at Carrow Road is poor this season. @NorwichCity FC could do so much better.'
Similarly Mark Jones said: 'The entertainment value on show at Carrow Road this season is bordering on a disgrace.'
While Chris Pointer wrote: 'I can't remember the last time I had fun at Carrow Road. Absolutely shocking.'
Michael Bailey, a sports reporter for this paper, added: 'The atmosphere on Saturday was nonexistent. It was football played in front of a paying crowd that sat down, watched and went home.
'Plenty will want to change that, and good on them. They will want to instigate something really positive at their club – and that should never change. But likewise, apathy is tough to shift when it really takes hold – and it seems it's grip is growing.'
