I didn't say 20k used them I said 20k were printed. Most of them are unused, it's just a waste. Continued popularity? They were dropped and forgotten, no-one asked for them back. The anti-clapper brigade is a majority, given that every other club that trialled them had negative feedback from fans. Unfortunately, we have a section of fans that think they're contributing something positive by slapping them randomly, probably the same ones who jump in the air like gameshow contestants trying to catch a cheap t-shirts. The most pitiful thing is the people trying to justify their continued presence who suddenly realise they are sitting in silence when they don't have their cardboard stick to feel relevant.
