  We seek to gain more insight into the effect of the crowds on the Home
Advantage by analyzing the particular case of Argentinean football (also known
as soccer), where for more than ten years, the visiting team fans were not
allowed to attend the games. Additionally, during the COVID-19 lockdown, a
significant number of games were played without both away and home team fans.
The analysis of more than 20 years of matches of the Argentinean tournament
indicates that the absence of the away team crowds was beneficial for the Top 5
teams during the first two years after their attendance was forbidden. An
additional intriguing finding is that the lack of both crowds affects
significantly all the teams, to the point of turning the home advantage into
home `disadvantage' for most of the teams.
