Do You Want Canned Applause?

[PatBlock]

I think they're ridiculous and distracting.

[trains]

yes because it feels a little too sterile without it .

[Odrl]

Strong no from me. It's not that it's particularly distracting or anything, but pretending there's an audience there when we all now there isn't... We're not 5 years old, are we? :smile:

And on that note, I'm just watching an NBA game and the fake audience there is equally laughable. Grow up. :wink:

[Danger Steve]

I agree with Trains, something is better than nothing!

Exactly.

No no for me.

Absolutely not .......like a ****e American comedy

[Cue crafty]

no!! it sucks, and is of no value to the players or viewers! Less is more on this occasion...

If it was possible to use "vote" buttons on your Sky remote foe applause and make it more interactive that would be better in future.

Why are they pumping the applause into the tables ? The football fans noise is just for the home audience, I don't get it.

[MrRottweiler]

The applause at the conclusion of a frame, session and match is ok but they have started doing it for a good pot now unless there are a handful of people in the arena clapping. That's going too far and soon the commentators will have a button so they can create their own canned laughter. Virgo would love that. It would be non stop.

Why not go the whole hog and have canned laughter every time a player misses a sitter !!

[trying]

Might not be so bad but it seems such a poor quality recording

[mikee]

They should have had canned laughter when Selby played that red along the top rail ,and the ball rolled backwards back on to the table from the jaws of the pocket .

Missed that, was it the same pocket Binghams black stopped in ?

[vmax]

They should have canned cries of 'get on with it' when Selby is playing. I'll record a tape for them
