Fulham are considering playing crowd noise over the public address system during tomorrow's Sky Bet Championship game against Brentford at Craven Cottage following a test that left manager Scott Parker impressed.
With the second tier returning behind closed doors after more than 100 days off because of coronavirus, clubs are trying to ensure that they can maintain some home advantage and Parker said that a decision will be made today whether to use synthetic atmosphere.
Both sides maintain hopes of automatic promotion, with third-place Fulham likely to end their neighbours' chances with a home win.
They must also face the top two, Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion, in their final stretch of games.
Wary of the Bundesliga's example of home advantage being wiped clean with fans banned from attending, Fulham are one of a small few clubs to have tried recorded crowd noise.
"I liked it to be fair," Parker said. "We tested it out at the Cottage and I liked it. It brought more of an atmosphere into the stadium and could bring a slight advantage.
"Even if it's there it is more of a noise in the background. It is something we are looking at we'll make a call on that in the next day or so and see where we go with it."
If not then Parker, in his first full season of management, feels that there will be an onus on his senior players to rev up their younger team-mates.
"It's going to be the most important thing, to be honest," he added. "The drivers, motivators, energisers - you're going to need them more than ever. You're going to need growing men."
