Yellow Fever fans lit up social media during Sunday's win over Newcastle Jets when music blaring out over the stadium PA drowned out their chants at breaks in play.

Phoenix today admitted they got it wrong – but said they would still carry on with the experiment, but on a smaller scale after the fans fury.

"100 per cent we've seen the feedback and we've taken it on board - in fact we took it on board during the game," Phoenix general manager David Dome told New Zealand's Dominion Post.

"Social media is great in that regard as it's instantaneous and once we got the feedback through we thought we better pull back on this to something a bit more realistic.

"The Yellow Fever is extremely important with their singing and chanting and we don't want the music to override that. But when there's no singing and chanting then what can we do?

"We've got to find that balance and we'll meet with the Yellow Fever again this week to go over it and see how we can get that balance better."

He also revealed the club's more ambitious plans to ramp up the atmosphere at the often largely empty Westpac Stadium, which will host Western Sydney Wanderers on November 3.

Dome added: "Safe smoke is set on the ground, not in the stands, and it'll be let off at predetermined times, like when the players walk out, when a goal is scored, when the players walk back.

"Obviously you want to create as much atmosphere as you can with the smoke and it's been tested, there's no issues, but we did need a licensed pyrotechnic director to release it and we need to make sure that's in place.

"But we're hopeful we'll have it by the game against Wanderers".
