Please stop this :facepalm:

The amount of away fans that have come on here saying it was a bit too friendly is ridiculous, not to mention the fact that in general it's just cringeworthy.

I cannot think of any away ground I've ever been to where not only is the away attendance announced but also received a round of applause for turning up. I just do not get why people feel the need to. It's only ever met with sarcastic cheers and chants of 'we filled your stadium' anyway!

Just cannot see any justificaition in doing this. It's genuine ammunition for the 'plastic fans' stereotype.

Funny but I thought this was one match when we didn't clap. All I could hear was mass booing from where I sat.

Weird, that's where I sit and generally I think we're quite hostile, but couldn't believe the amount of people around me applauding.

Think the only way it'll stop too is if the club stop announcing the away attendance on the tannoy.

f***ing hippie!

I go by how much I've enjoyed the game, If they've been a exciting side fun to watch like the Boro game I clap, if it is a team who 'do a Cardiff' and park the bus I'll boo.

Which means last night I was booing whilst clapping :laugh:
