I agree, when the North stand get it right its bloody awesome, but those occasions are few and far between !I realise this post actually has nothing to do with the idea of a drum really, but I still don't think it is a bad idea in principle. In theory it could unite the separate fractions in the North Stand and get songs sung at the correct speed. That Boro away game where we didn't get promoted was a perfect example of how a drum can work, their end was deafening that day, the singing loud and in unison. The drum was used sparingly and only to keep the singing in time once a new song started. The North Stand would be amazing if it was like that.
The problem is, the kind of person in Brighton who would volunteer to be the drummer would no doubt be some attention-seeking prick who insisted on over-using it and trying to orchestrate the singing themselves with drum solos like some kind of Lord of the North Stand. The other fractions would rebel against it and we'd end up with an even worse and fragmented atmosphere than we have now.

Given the choice between a drum and hepatitis, I'd take the illness.I realise this post actually has nothing to do with the idea of a drum really, but I still don't think it is a bad idea in principle.

Status Quo fans have the same thinking, when going to their gigs.Very little ruins my weekend more than getting to a Lewes game and realising the away fans have brought a bloody drum
Agreed. If people start bringing a drum I'm going to start bringing a crossbow. An absolutely moronic noise.Given the choice between a drum and hepatitis, I'd take the illness.
There's nothing wrong with it in principle, in the same way as there's nothing wrong in principle with going to work with "I'm a massive twat" painted on your face.
