drums at the amex?

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

I don't mind a drum if its used correctly but the majority of times I've seen a drum used it has just been constant banging a sounds terrible..

As it sounds shit , completly kills any chance of an atmosphere, and makes us look like a plastic club in a 'souless bowl' as some away fans already see it as.

Ok there are some references to the noise and lower league clubs having them. They are a bit moany old git excuses imo. If the drum isn't domineering and just a bit of a background beat then i think that'd be beneficial more than anything. But ah well, it's your ground.

Stick your f***ing drum. How small time. Would make the atmos worse.

Well that is of course just my opinion as 1 of 18,000 STH. However having a drum sounds tinpot and kills of and spontaneous atmosphere.

I voted in favour of the Majika song but didn't realise it meant having to have a drum
What kind of drum is it? Lambeg? Snare?

8ace, Majiko doesn't necessarily need a drum, It was simply a question asked. So far the whole Majiko thing was done by people chipping in their ideas and the drum question was just that - with something potentially involving different stands, it could easily go tits up with a load speeding up and going like the clappers.

It was merely to guage opinion, and not essential

Whoever rocks up to the Amex with a drum is a brave man for sure and may likely be lynched.

A massive no from me. All you need to do is look at the loudest sets of fans up and down the country, when was the last time you heard a drum at Stoke, Newcastle, Leeds or in the Kop? Never, because there fans sing without needing to be told when and what to sing. Now look at the quitest grounds, ie, Wigan, Mk Dons and Bolton etc, all with a drum in an attempt to get silent supporters to sing in a half empty stadium, and it sounds awful and completely cringeworthy. Is this really the image our fans want to give ourselves?

This is a question that might be put to Richard Hebberd, when he appears on the Albion Roar this coming weekend.

I am CERTAIN that he will give the CORRECT answer.

This.

Bristol City, I'd add. What did we do when their drum was going? Hijacked their chants. Whilst the other 3 stands sat in glum silence. It sounds SO tinpot. Would love Majiko to take off but I beg of people, *BEG* them......don't bring a drum.

All I can say is, piss off

 

[Albion Dan]

If I ever see a twat with a drum at the Amex I'll go right up to their face and tell him/her what i think of bringing that rubbish into our ground.
