Football in a library?

[ZLF 274]

While the entertainment on offer was poor it was a win but the apathy in the crowd was audible.

 

More pertinent was the absence of the drummer.   Are the rumours that the club have removed permission correct?  Linked to behaviour at both the Coventry and Leedz games?    The volume levels have certainly fallen as a result?   Apologies if covered elsewhere.

Someone recently wrote on here that he got into a barney with a Leeds fan and the club have given him the heave-ho.

The rumour account I heard was that an unidentified Leeds fan attacked him and he retaliated. As a consequence and whether, fairly or otherwise, he is banned at the very least pending an investigation.

A difficult situation that demonstrates the challenges involved in this type of initiative.

A lot of you know City Elite Harley Gee has been banned atm on bail conditions from attending NCFC home and away following a minor incident involving a Leeds fan after the game on the 21st Oct 2023,

just to let you all know Harley and the drum will be at the Woolpack public house to watch the Ipswich v Norwich Derby game live on the screen in December !

Oh 100%, the atmosphere is a terribly poor at the moment. The drum made a huge difference although some argued it didn't. 

The atmosphere with the drum under Dean bl**dy Smith was actually better than without the drum under Wagner.

[Kenny Foggo 1,116]

A number of people have been banned for minor issues that years ago would have warranted a ticking off at best. The atmosphere has been getting worse and worse at Carrow Road for years. Gone are the days of mental last minute winners at home to Millwall. 

[HertsCanary93 222]

The atmosphere at the moment is as bad as I can ever remember it. Which was most underpinned by the loudest noise during the game coming from the snakepit singing the "How sh*t must you be... we're winning 1-0" song.

There vibe was generally a bit more positive before the game, I think most people were ready to get behind the team - however the performance was a cure for insomnia.

I hope the Ipswich game is a catalyst for all corners of the stadium to bring back some energy

[Kenny Foggo 1,116]

I was pleased we won and stayed to clap the players but the quote from Wagner that he'll forego entertainment for being solid make me laugh out loud! I must have missed the entertainment in the long losing streak! 

Still two wins, Barnes back, Batth looking the part gives us some optimism for the future.

 

[Jim Smith 2,339]

Fundamentally the current ownership and board at the club have sucked the life out of the supporter base. People can’t even be bothered to give the club grief anymore as they know they are ignored. 

[yellowrider120 775]

The atmosphere has zero to do with a drum. It's the complete apathy of the crowd. Full stop. That in turn has been driven  by a third successive season of generally garbage performances at home.

I think we all know what he meant......before Saturday our previous seven games (since beating Brum 2-0) yielded a total of 26 goals, so just under four per game. Grinding out a dull 1-0 is a big shift from that sequence.

Well someone on here - you know who you are - must be delighted with Saturday’s performance AND three points

Argued long and hard that professional football isn’t part of the entertainment industry. Those that endured the latest torture might tend to agree.

Err the upcoming Ipswich game is away!!

we certainly don’t want energy from all 4 corners of that place!

[RobJames 883]

the atmosphere reflects the mood. Talking the lead was no indicrion of how the game would finish, and very little afterwards suggested we would score another, or stop QPR from equalising or even winning.

I am certain ythat the idiot reproducing someone digging up the road had no affect. Worrying times as we were in freefall towards relegation, with the thought being uper most in supporters minds 'how the hell did we get here'. It will need at least four points from the next two games to pick things up.... a bit.

[Nexus_Canary 1,024]

Good riddance to that stupid drum.

Only a matter of time before something like this happened. Shame the club indulged d1ck head culture to allow it in the first place

Vive la Drum! 

The sooner it's back, the better. 

The atmosphere is an absolute embarrassment befitting our club currently. But you seem ok with that. 

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,294]

It's such a shame things seem to come in and improve things, then vanish just as quick. Some of those flag displays during the Farke era made me feel immensely proud to be a Norwich City supporter. The drum too, got loads of praise from opposition fans, so you just felt proud we were doing it. 

Now it's a morgue, and Carrow Road is starting to look tired needs work. Not a great deal to be proud of at the minute. I wish the club would actively support ideas improving the atmosphere instead of their fencing sitting attitude. Scared stiff of upsetting the old codgers.

The atmosphere at CR reflects the last few years I’m afraid. Saturday was poor . I liked the drum , it was sorely missed. The only reaction from the fans was a) the goal and b)when  dozzels lad came on .

There's some on here, and they know who they are, who think football is primarily an entertainment business. However, if they were honest, they'd prefer we won the next six games 1-0 than losing them all 3-2.

If older people don't like the drum it's not because they don't like drums, it's because they recognise and remember that they didn't need an effing drum to get behind the team, so why should it be necessary now all of a sudden. 

I've been to away matches where the home team has a drum and every time I come away from them thinking how embarrassing it is that they need a drum to get themselves going. 

So I really think that the onus is on every person to step up their noise levels themselves and to take a bit of responsibility for the atmosphere themselves.  

I know, I don't go to matches, how dare I say anything, but you mentioned old codgers, so as I qualify for that description, I guess I'm choosing to speak up for them......

Nah, it's coz they're miserable old gits. 

So I suppose, everything should always stay the same and never progress. The logic of a codger.

Ah, so having a drum at a football ground is a sign of progress. Ok........

As far as i'm aware the drummer has a football ban, not by our club, so unless I'm wrong the drum isn't banned. So a decent solution for you would be to volunteer to drum the drum until such a time the drummer can return. Perhaps you could wave some flags as well because they seem to be missing too.

What on earth did he do to get a football ban? Did he insert his drum stick up the Leeds fans you know what!

I don't know. But it says bail conditions in Tilly's post so I assume its that rather than an internal affair. Perhaps our club imposed bail conditions but even if so surely that applies to the drummer not the drum?

[Capt. Pants 4,271]

The drum certainly does help but it's not the be all and end all. There isn't a lot to get excited about at the moment and already it feels a bit of a nothing season as there needs to be a dramatic improvement in all positions on the pitch if we are to make top 6.

Whilst Saturday's performance was solid and professional in some respects, crikey it was completely devoid of any attacking intent. I'd go as far and say it was a soulless and joyless performance - how the hell can you be expected to get behind that?

People who can't be bothered to go to matches make me smile though; quick to criticise but no intent to come along to the ground and help improve the the atmosphere.

Nobody has stated that. However you make the absurd bleat that ANY change equates to progress. It does not. Change is determined by numerous things - not simply because some know nothing spotty herbert has little understanding of the wider world. I expect there were simillar numpties bleating because wiser heads objected to plastic pitches, the idea of heightened crossbars and the game consisting of four quarters.  "It's progress, innit "
