ASPINALL- Get a big drum and get the Amex rocking

[Worried Man Blues]

Sorry that wasn't aimed at you, it was a drum joke?

I dont want goal music but some do.

I think we should give it a try, against Reading on Tuesday one block couldn't even sing the same song as the block next to them.

 

[brightn'ove]

it would certainly stop the multitude of different songs being sung by the north stand at once. say what you like about palace but when the place is rocking, it is very loud, and the drum helps unify the whole stadium (only when they are winning)

 

[Ernest]

I'm going to bring my TRIANGLE to the Burnley game and [MENTION=29916]Kellie[/MENTION] will BLOW my BUGLE so that should make a BIT of NOISE

 

[Thunder Bolt]

As an away fan at grounds who use a drum I find them really irritating, not sure if I'd feel the same if it was our drum. Our atmosphere isn't always the best, it could help.

Some teams simply bang the drum without any sort of rhythm. If it's done properly with paradiddles etc, then it could galvanise the singing and even slow down Sussex by the Sea.
It would have to done properly or we'd be better off without it.

 

[Hamilton]

Allow everyone in the North Stand to stand up.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

His words 'The germans do it, it gets the atmosphere going'. We need to stop worrying about cringing and embarrassment at the Amex and worry more about raising an atmosphere.

Thoughts?

Think he was little over excited and the adrenalin was running, a truly forgetful moment for him, and he's had a few!

 

[lawros left foot]

Allow everyone in the North Stand to stand up.

and allow everyone to have a drum, if someone else has got one, I want one too

 

[withdeanwombat]

A drum is welcome as long as nobody beats it.

 

[portlock seagull]

Get the fans in first. We're about Five thousand short of the official pretendence. That and play a game on Saturday perhaps?!

Burnley will be a full 'home' house, not sure the away end will be.

 

[royceyboy]

It works at other grounds, so why not at the Amex. It might get the whole North stand singing the same song for a change. I still don't understand why we seem louder and more united away from home than we do at home. We need to get the singers singing the same song together and be more united in the North stand, and then the whole ground can get into it.

At my age, I'm getting forgetful. Indeed, I can't even recollect the last time palace actually won a game.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Allow everyone in the North Stand to stand up.

No thank you. It works well as it is. Some of us can only afford North stand prices but cannot stand for the whole game.

You can be forgiven for forgetting, seeing as it was LAST YEAR

 

[Geestar]

So we do need a drum to sing?

 

[Ecosse Exile]

How did they do today?

On the subject of drums, I've always been in the no camp, but sometimes the atmosphere at the AMEX is dire, maybe it's time to move on, after all if a few spotty yoofs can get that shithole up the road rocking, imagine what an accousticly superior amex could be like.

There's been a few games where the atmosphere has been good without a drum, but nowhere near often enough.

Away fans are always more likely to sing, are made up of some of the more passionate fans, and have a sense of togetherness that is not present in home fans.

Maybe they need a band leader!
