AI describes all 24 EFL Championship clubs' home atmosphere in one word | OneFootball

We asked AI to describe the home atmosphere of all 24 EFL Championship clubs in just one word.

With less than a month to go until the start of the new campaign, it is shaping up to be another exciting Championship season.

Leeds United, Burnley and Sunderland all won promotion from the Championship last season, and they will be replaced in the division by Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton after the trio were relegated from the Premier League.

At the other end of the table, Luton Town, Plymouth Argyle and Cardiff City all dropped into League One last term, but Birmingham City, Wrexham and Charlton Athletic are currently preparing to make their return to the second tier.

With the fixtures now released, supporters can start to plan their weekend and midweek trips for the upcoming season, and there will no doubt be some impressive attendances at many grounds in the division throughout the campaign.

As the countdown to the new season continues, we asked ChatGPT to describe the home atmosphere of all 24 Championship clubs in just one word.

Birmingham City - Electric

Birmingham City stormed to the League One title last season after accumulating a total of 111 points, which set a new EFL record, and with owner Tom Wagner making it clear that the club are targeting back-to-back promotions next term, another exciting campaign could be ahead for the Midlands outfit.

AI chose the word "electric" to describe the Blues' home atmosphere at St Andrew's @ Knighthead Park, and given that their average attendance increased by over 5,000 to 26,717 last season despite relegation, that figure could rise even further now they are back in the Championship.

Blackburn Rovers - Fierce

It was a turbulent campaign for Blackburn Rovers last season, but despite losing head coach John Eustace to relegation-threatened Derby County in February, they still only missed out on the play-off places on the final day under his replacement Valerien Ismael.

ChatGPT summed up the atmosphere at Ewood Park with the word "fierce", and while Rovers supporters do not always fill the home stands in big numbers, they certainly showed their passion for the club as they regularly protested against the ownership last season.

Bristol City - Vibrant

After suffering a record-breaking 6-0 aggregate defeat to Sheffield United in their play-off semi-final last season, Bristol City lost head coach Liam Manning to Norwich City, but optimism remains high ahead of the new campaign following the appointment of Gerhard Struber.

AI picked the word "vibrant" to describe the Robins' home atmosphere, and given that Ashton Gate proved to be a real fortress in their play-off push last season, it is difficult to disagree with that choice.

Charlton Athletic - Intimate

Charlton Athletic are preparing to return to the Championship for the first time in five years following a 1-0 win over Leyton Orient in the League One play-off final at Wembley in May.

ChatGPT used the word "intimate" to describe the atmosphere at The Valley, which may not be the most accurate choice given that there have often been large gaps in the crowd in recent years, but attendances are likely to increase next season now the Addicks are back in the second tier.

Coventry City - Loud

Coventry City produced a stunning run of form in the second half of last season under Frank Lampard to book their place in the top six, but they were knocked out of the play-offs by Sunderland in agonising fashion at the semi-final stage.

AI chose the word "loud" to describe the atmosphere at the CBS Arena, and that was certainly the case towards the back end of last season as the Sky Blues welcomed some bumper crowds to get them over the line in their pursuit of a play-off place.

Derby County - Tense

Derby County secured Championship survival on the final day of last season following a significant upturn in form under John Eustace, and they will be confident that they can continue to climb the table in the upcoming campaign, particularly after some strong summer transfer business.

ChatGPT picked the word "tense" to describe the atmosphere at Pride Park, which is perhaps a reference to some of the nervous moments Rams supporters have endured in recent years.

Hull City - Boisterous

Hull City only narrowly stayed up on goal difference last season, but while they will hope better days are ahead under new manager Sergej Jakirovic, financial problems are currently casting a shadow over the MKM Stadium.

AI described the Tigers' home atmosphere as "boisterous", but, unfortunately, supporters did not have too much to shout about last season as their side had the worst home record in the Championship, with the East Yorkshire outfit picking up just 23 points on their own patch.

Ipswich Town - Unyielding

Ipswich Town's long-awaited return to the Premier League ended in disappointment as they were relegated with just 22 points to their name, but they will be widely tipped to challenge for promotion next season in the Championship under the guidance of Kieran McKenna.

ChatGPT chose the word "unyielding" to describe the atmosphere at Portman Road, and given that the vast majority of the Tractor Boys' home games in the top flight last season were a virtual sell-out despite their struggles on the pitch, many would agree with that.

Leicester City - Roaring

Like Ipswich, Leicester City also suffered relegation in their first season back in the Premier League, and further problems could be ahead for them in the Championship next term as the threat of a potential points deduction looms.

AI picked the word "roaring" to describe the atmosphere at the King Power Stadium, which has undoubtedly been true in the past, particularly during the Foxes' famous Premier League title-winning season in the 2015-16 campaign.

Middlesbrough - Relentless

It was an underwhelming campaign for Middlesbrough last season as they finished 10th in the table, but they will be hoping to mount a sustained play-off push next term under new manager Rob Edwards, who replaced Michael Carrick last month.
