barclay_canary 0 Posted November 29, 2007 There seems to be a trend happening lately accross Europe. that teams at home with a Drummer seem to do well. or maybe even a small band. Does anyone know if Norwich ever had a drummer and when? would anyone be interested in starting a search to bring a drummer to carrow road to keep the tempo of the fans up??? maybe get one in the Barclay or Snake pit? Theres no doubt that the atmosphere there is fantastic already, ive been a season ticket holder in the Barclay for a few years now but i reckon a drummer might be good for the fans at this end of the ground. So anyone wnna help me in my search to find someone or maybe volunteer in either of the Barclay or Snake pit? lets hear your thoughts please???????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karl Pilkington 0 Posted November 30, 2007 I don''t mind as long as he does not sit next to me. Better than the w@nker with the bell at pompey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzathegreat 0 Posted November 30, 2007 We did have some once, this was back in the Mike Walker II phase I think (but don''t quote me on that), anyway they were in the Snakepit and I was about ten seats away from them. Deafening isn''t the word. I think they got so much stick from other fans they gave up. There was a trumpet too I think.It was all done to encouarge the relatively small crowds at the time to sound "bigger". Not sure it worked really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

? 20 Posted November 30, 2007 When the Snakepit first opened we had a drummer for a season or so.People complained constantly, though personally i liked it.I think he got banned for throwing his drumstick at the linesman once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ingi 0 Posted November 30, 2007 No, hate drummers. You say teams do well with a drummer. We played Blackpool on Tues and they had a drummer. I doubt the club would let you bring one in anyway. Shouldnt need a drum to get the fans going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted November 30, 2007 I hate the idea of a drummer at Carrow Rd. It was bad enough with the odd visit of the Blackpool drummer or the Portsmouth bell. I would consider giving up my season ticket if there was a drummer for every game.We have enough vocal support and dont need an artificial prop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wizard 0 Posted November 30, 2007 But they''re not drummers are they? they just hit a skin with a big stick! I should know, my son, who''s been a few bands, is a proper, 100% trained drummer.............there is a bloody big difference!.[:|] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
can u sit down please 0 Posted November 30, 2007 Fair point Wiz....how about back row in the e block. Im sure a bit of extra noise would be loved! I can play the accordion! haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWP = Poor Mans Ruel Fox!! 0 Posted November 30, 2007 Oh god dont remind me about the Portsmouth bell, one of the most annoying things in the world [:@]!! The one good thing about them getting promoted is not having to listen to it any more [<:o)].If as you say the atmosphere at Carrow Road is good already, we dont need our own Norwich band, leave it to clubs who need to create atmosphere like Sheff Wed.

Mister Chops 7 Posted November 30, 2007 Or the guy from the Cadbury''s adverts.Back in about 1998-99, there used to be two kids drumming in the corner between the City Stand and the River End - they were presumably put there to be as far away from the other supporters as possible. They were annoying beyond belief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,897 Posted November 30, 2007 No thanks.It''s bad enough when Sheffield Wednesday come to town and bring their awful brass band with them. Yes, the very same guys that ruin every England game with their crappy renditions of Rule Britannia, and Escape to victory. It''s both annoying and embarrassing.

First Jedi 0 Posted November 30, 2007 NO NO NO NO NO!It might be the only way crappy clubs can induce some fake boring "atmosphere" in the form of a few people clapping along to a drum, but I want banter, chants, real noise and spontineity*!If a drummer comes to Carrow Road, anywhere near me, he''ll get his drumsticks shoved up his nostrils. *excuse the spelling!

Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted November 30, 2007 If the Blackpool "drummer" comes to Carrow Rd. this season I trust the police or the local council officials will be asking that person for their entertainment licence obtained from Norwich City Council.BTW., I understand there was an incident at Southampton recently between the stewards and the Blackpool "drummer".BAN THE "DRUMMER" NOW!

barclay_canary 0 Posted November 30, 2007 Its great this has got some really good feedback, Im not saying that norwich city fans need anymore encouragement in the noise factor. Far from it, Didnt the city faithfull score 2nd in a noise test by Sky recently???? anyways im there every home match and we have by far the best home supprot of any team in the championship and maybe even some of the premiership. We have a 26034 capacity and achieve over 24500 every home game. the shortfall is usually because the away fans cant sell all there tickets, i said Sell all their tickets. but it was just an idea to keep the momentum flowing in the stands. LMAO at putting a drummer in the N&P stand cos that place is like a morgue sometimes. as for the incident at southhampton, i think the blackpool drummer wasnt allowed in the stadium with the drum or something im not sure. but they are pretty sad and boring down there anyways.
