TheGuy Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Why do people in the audience feel the need to applaud shots during play at the Crucible and other tournaments? It doesn't even have to be an exceptionally brilliant shot for them to do it either, any mediocre to half decent shot gets at least a smattering of applause it seems. I wish these irritating people would refrane from applauding during play, and perhaps save it for the end of the frame. Would banning it during play be popular?

HeadingNorth Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Whenever I've been to the Crucible, the audience isn't allowed to applaud during play - only in between shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 This is why I've never been to the Snooker and never will, they expect you to sit in silence while watching, you can't even cough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game of snooker at the crucible isn't a football match at the lane; are you incapable of sitting still and quiet for a few hours like a grown up??

HeadingNorth Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 A game of snooker at the crucible isn't a football match at the lane But it is a sporting event. People expect to be able to support their favourites at sporting events; and, at times when it won't disturb the players, they are and should be allowed to do so.

You can cough and move around. They just prefere it to be when the players arent taking a shot. Just dont have your mobile switched on. If it rings your out. I know this from personal experience.

baller23 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Agreed. That's because the audience don't know how to play proper snooker! I only applaud when I feel as though the player is actually worthy of it, not on every shot. That's just silly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
