Barnsley have become the first English club to sign up to use the My Applause app enabling fans to send cheers or jeers from their sofa into their Oakwell ground for the remaining four home games this season.
Sportsmail revealed last month that a German technology company, hack-CARE, had developed an app to send crowd noise from supporters' living rooms into empty stadiums and Barnsley have agreed to trial it at Friday's Championship game against Millwall.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal all spoke to hack-CARE about using the app at their grounds, but the Premier League did not sanction the trial and instead agreed a deal with EA Sports to make crowd noise from the FIFA 20 video game available to broadcasters.
