Midlands Yellow 4,682 Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Uncle Fred sang its praises at the Valley. A trial run in the Geoffrey Watling stand might be interesting against Palace. Edited May 20, 2023 by Midlands Yellow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobLoz3 610 Posted January 27, 2022 I don't know whether the guy who is playing the drum is on this forum but I know who it is and he was also with that little collection of Delia Out people who were at an away game recently. Mixed messages methinks! Todd retweeted him and I suppose he might think he's famous now 😉 Regarding the drum though. Why not? I think it works. Bring an entire friggin orchestra, I don't mind!

CANARYKING 708 Posted January 27, 2022 I sat near a drum once, had a headache for a week, it’s a definite no from me and I’m sure I won’t be the only one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 7,803 Posted January 27, 2022 If this guy can ring a bell every home match at Portsmouth for years and years I'm sure we will do alright with a drum😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,831 Posted January 27, 2022 I've been to grounds where the drum ruins the watching experience. Incessant banging on a drum for 90 minutes (which is what can happen) is just noise pollution. Not needed, not welcome and actually restricts spontaneity by the fact that it is such a dominating beat. Might be a novelty factor to start with, but really it is just a noise. A bit like a firework that goes bang but has no pretty lights at the same time. A noise with no point to it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenerationA47 864 Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) I voted no as I wouldn’t want to be near it & also it gets monotonous for me if not done with taste & judgement (obviously priorities of all football supporters!) Just Like when away and one or two fans are constantly bashing the corrugated walls However, if played well by a proper drummer - and I really mean a snare drum or whatever those double-drumstick ones they hand round their necks are called, not just a tub-thumper - they can sound great .. when used sparingly Edited January 27, 2022 by GenerationA47 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midlands Yellow 4,682 Posted January 27, 2022 It seems the more mature fan isn’t too keen. Anyone under 60 on here who’s in favour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,573 Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Drums are great. I think mine belong at home tho. A constant thump is pretty annoying at football matches. Plus it would wake the River End up and they won't like that! Edited January 27, 2022 by The Raptor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted January 27, 2022 Its a cymbal of the times. If it was similar to the drum beat on a Roman boat it might encourage at bit of pace to the game but then again could inspire the opposition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great idea, ‘Ramming Speed’ whenever a promising attack occurs. Stewards could whip fans who aren’t off their seats too.

TheGunnShow 7,377 Posted January 27, 2022 I'd prefer to hear a bugle now and again. The thought of Rashica going off on a charge down the wing with The Tequila Song blaring out sounds like a cracking soundtrack. Of course, we should have The Great Escape playing after every win now. Agree with the fundamental idea that if it's incessant, it's just background noise and that it should be judiciously used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought you approved of supporters getting behind the team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robornio 131 Posted January 27, 2022 Undecided. I despise that terrible band when England play – terrible musicians playing the same naff songs over and over again. I went to one England game and they weren’t that far from me. An irritating bunch of bums that should get a real job. 😄 Not only that, but they’ve hindered and drowned out the crowd for years. Ironically they weren’t invited to Euro 2020/21, albeit through Covid regs, but the atmosphere was so much better without that racket! However, a single drum like at Watford? I don’t see why not.
