Blimey we must have built a new stand quickly.

Please no clackers or drummers, only tinpot clubs have them, we had a good vibe b Man U and West Ham, so maybe entertaining football and goals is the catalyst. Ask the good Palace fans about their drummer, they hate it and embarrassed. If we had a drummer it would stop me going after 58 years.

If done right, drums could help the atmosphere. If done badly, it can be very annoying.

One for the kidz

Indeed, Stat, the last thing we need is you and Stat junior joining the Sea Org and sailing the seven seas (of rye) with Sir Thomas Cruise and Thetan Grand Master David Miscavige!!!!

Yes...

It’s easy to have a good atmosphere when a team is winning and scoring lots of goals. The crowd responds to the team.

Which of course is the right answer. Anything that is as faraway as possible from the Sheffield Wednesday/England ‘band’ the better - and that includes a sodding drum.

Having said that a suitably placed trumpet in the North Stand to lead in ‘Sussex By The Sea’ would be appropriate.

As long as it is played at the right speed.

Synchronised vuvuzela parping would be brilliant. Imagine the racket!

That was a fantastic atmosphere tonight, I wasn't expecting it at all, but it was loud and lively and I usually say i hate drums but it didn't half help build the atmosphere to a crescendo. Probably only a couple of brighton games have beaten that atmosphere in my memory.

Dont you think that the 8 goals was the cause of the cracking atmosphere?

Rather than get a drum, let's just score more goals and let the atmosphere take care of itself.

Drum? No , No, No !

I have been at the King Power Stadium when they had one….. it was awful, and as for that hunting horn ?

Drums often kill any kind of organic atmosphere. There's something quite awful about a match where the crowd has a drum but where there's no atmosphere. At Huddersfield for example, I watched a number of matches the last few years and almost all you could hear is incessant drumming and very little atmosphere, few people elect to join in. It is such a relief when the opposing team scores and it lets up for a while. As someone said, unless you are Leeds or someone like Liepzig, there is little a drum can do to er, drum up an atmosphere. That is dependent upon how the team is playing on the pitch.

Agreed, but what a drum can do is coordinate the crowd for certain songs. As we all know The Amex suffers from different groups each doing their own thing.

Yes...

That could get a bit dangerous when they start doing the Poznan...

I have a pair of Moroccan bongos that I could pat tastefully if that would help? Only problem is they are bigger than A4

I don’t know from your username whether you have the opportunity to go regularly, but I would argue there is always an atmosphere but it ranges from extremely loud to underwhelming at best.

It doesn’t always come across on TV, but then I would argue last night didn’t sound too loud either, just a lot of squealing. That said, I’m not denying that it wasn’t a great atmosphere and must have been a different but fantastic experience.

In terms of the best crowds lifting their team, I agree, but interested to know who you think they are, because in my experience with the exception of Leeds, crowds often aren’t dissimilar to ours.

No drum, clackers or anything else for me. We don’t at away games and our fans are excellent

Personally don’t buy into this best crowd lifting their team, if this was so then Leeds would have won more than 4 home games last season.

I agree though when a team generates noise from the crowd, i.e., when pulling a late goal back, that the extra “atmosphere” generated sometimes galvanises the team into action - or maybe it’s just because they have pulled a goal back and fancy their chances and has **** all to do with the noise the crowd is making in reaction to the goal - who knows!

Clearly crowds can be intimidating to opponents, with throat slitting gestures, etc., but I’m not sure I would want The Amex turned into the English equivalent of Nef Stadyumu or similar!

And no thread about carnage at the train station

In fairness there was a cracking atmosphere before the goals (as there was v Man Utd). But, I have to be honest, it was a very different type of atmosphere, a more family, clacker and drum led atmosphere and again, just being honest, that would do my head in for Men's first team matches. I really wouldn't want a drum for men's matches - if we could somehow recreate the natural atmosphere that greeted the players against Man U every match that would be fine.

Where I sit I get one song in my left ear and another in my right from the police box lot, it’s like truly horrific DJ mix.

What/who is stopping you taking one along?

















(hopefully the answer to this question is the people who care about you)
