[seggaman]

Why does this happen

Because they're happy to be part of a big club?

Must admit I've always found it toe curling.

I thought we were all applauding the tannoy announcer for staying awake long enough to reveal the attendance.

Yeah this. It's not well known but the bloke in question counts everyone in sight throughout, a round of applause is the least he deserves.

Because Sunderland support is amazing! I applaud each and every hard core die hard fan who turns up home or away for every game possible come thick or thin. Take a bow.

Similar to those weird people who applaud a successful landing at the airport.

This drives me up the wall. What the feck are they applauding?! The plane? The pilots? The landing computer that did 96% of the work?

People love giving themselves a pat on the back

i think the fans are actually applauding their fellow fans that have made the effort to buy a ticket rather than themselves

It's fuckin ridiculous.

I had a bit of an outburst about it on Saturday like. Then we scored.

Why does this happen

Probably coz there's not much else to applaud!

 

[Secret Visage]

No clapping your hands to keep warm tonight or there'll be outrage on here.

The best away game announcement this season has to be Accy “there will be a minimum of 3 minutes extra time....sponsored by Jones Hardware of Accrington”.

I always imagine a scene where the plane has crashed and all the survivors are booing the pilot

 

[nelford_safc]

I boo’d the announcement.
