Why do we give a polite round of applause when the number of away fans is announced ?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

I usually hear boos
I dont do anything as I can't exactly boo them as I never go to away games myself but I also wouldn't applaud them

Hotdogs, extra onions
Baffles me. 
Although I don't applaud there are a lot of happy clappers that do.

Many have travelled a long way, good of them to make it.
It's the decent thing to do, i.e. effectively saying "thanks for coming".
Obviously we don't extend the same pleasantries towards certain teams

I travelled further than them on Sat but nobody clapped me.

Clapping the away fans attendance is for marigold wearing, washer upper type wimps.

The polite applause for the away fans has been replaced by jeers and boos , how it should be.

Why do people start a thread on this subject? You can clap if you wish or not if you don't want to. Simple really.
Personally, I think it is good to show some respect for fans who have travelled a long way to watch their team loose! (So I would only applaud them if we were winning)

Surely the worse the turnout is, the more the ones that ARE there deserve recognition?
The overall attendance is clapped to celebrate ourselves for making the effort, and then the away contingent is applauded for making the effort. I do hear some boos, mainly from the north, unless we're losing then it's louder and from more of the ground, which seems more petty to me.
