I don't usually go to away games, so perhaps it is a common thing, but it seems an odd thing to do. [Post edited 3 Sep 2023 19:57]

Why is it odd? |  |

It’s always been a thing at PR, well since I’ve been going anyway, and when the attendance has been good, obviously. |  |

Agree. Not sure why people applaud it. |  | | |

Why do we applaud the subs when they come out for a stretch. They were not good enough to get into the team. Madness. | | | |

Because they are our players and we want to encourage them and show we're behind them. | |

Likewise ever since I started going and that includes when the attendances were rubbish. | |

I have been watching Town since the 70s and the level of support the fans give the players is as good as I can remember.
It has been building over last few seasons and has accelerated since KM became manager. A lot of credit to the old Section 6/Blue Action folk for getting the ball rolling. | | | |

Couldn't agree more. The noise spreads throughout the ground now instead of stopping at the North Stand and even at 2-0 down I thought the atmosphere was still encouraging. | |

I’ve always taken it as a mark of respect or appreciation by fans towards other Town fans - thanks for turning up. |  | | |

Although to extend the sentiment we should boo anyone leaving before the full time whistle... |  |

Do fans of other teams do it though? I don't remember it at what away games I have been to or noticing it on televised games. | |

Anyone who has managed to get through the road works on the A14 or up the A12, then through the town centre deserves to be applauded. |  | | |

I’m pretty sure that I’ve been to sway matches where that has happened. | | | |

Fair enough.
Long may it continue then. | |

At the end of the McCarthy era I used to applaud as a way of keeping me awake |  | | |

In that period.... they used to count season ticket holders who stayed at home. So we applauded fans who weren't even there. Maybe applauding them for their good sense. | | | |

At the end of the Mick era I used to applaud myself for sitting through what he served up. And other fans for doing the same. It was more in knowing community spirit. Like but not in anyway similar clap the NHS, you are appreciating efforts of others that have endured.
Now it’s because I am a happy clapper and will clap anything in or around FPR. | |

I assume people are doing it this season because we are in extraordinary times, attendance-wise. Could be the highest average crowd in the club's history if things keep going at current rate (currently averaging about 28,800). Not sure people have always done it. |  |

I think your post is a bit odd. It's pretty obvious why people applaud it.
And unless you're Frimmers it's a pretty odd thing to start a thread about. |  |
