Welcome To The Jungle Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 The atmosphere at the gate is complete crap at the moment so I voted yes but with some conditions: 1) The drummer must a drummer, and not just some bloke/lass. 2) The person shouldn't be the kind to get mashed before a game. 3) The drum must not be a snare under any circumstances, preferably a bass drum with felted sticks to dampen the noise. 4) Build the repertoire slowly. Week one, only do red army. Then week two add cider army to the list. Don't go straight into Freemans on fire because that will go wrong. 5) We can do a clap for Magners properly.

Dollymarie Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I think people's views MAY be being skewed by the memories of the last time we had a drummer. If it was done properly it could work well. Not just someone bashing away like they've had too much lucozade which is what happened before.

I would suggest a poll of OTIB will not give a balanced view so needs S82 spokespersons to give their view - and before all the S82 rubbish starts again this is the obvious place for it. Please do not disregard purely due to a vote on here. Anything to stop 200 fleetwood fans being louder than 10K city fans !! Valid point there mate. I don`t mind hearing it from a distance (SS) if it`s done properly but sure as hell wouldn`t want to be stood next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reformed_red Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Derby's little drummer boy is pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmjN9_epL0c I wonder if MA can get him on loan in this window? Knowing our luck we'll probably end up with this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gS-sWsmefJs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Atmosphere is NOT created by 1000 people singing in a corner, nor dare I say ,anywhere else in the ground. It is created by (if you will) roaring encouragement to our lads and spitting venom at the opposition. Old'uns on here will remember the terms "Roker Roar" or "Hampden Roar", don't recall "Roker Songs" or "Hampden Ditties" ! Until we get back the inate feeling of intimidation towards the away side and general rousing support towards the City (that does happen, but not regularly) then it will still be flat. The old Den was a place that hardly ever "sang" but , boy it was intimidating , and NOT just by the ever present threat of violence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted January 9, 2017 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 There's no doubt that a drum played well can help a crowd to keep maintain an impressive beat, e.g. as here at Celtic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54-46 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Personally it would be a no. However, if one was used the right sticks should be used to get the right kind of "boom". I.e. The first image below, not the 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 We used to have a young lad who was excellent at drumming and kept the east end in rhythm. But he went off to uni to study football journalism or something like that. I think we do need a drum, but as long as it isn't over the top used all the time, it is good for a few songs to get everyone singing in time etc. One suggestion is if the fans all fund for a drum(through stickers etc) like we have done with the flags etc etc. Then we can have it supervised on match day available for people to try it out whoever feels confident. In this case because it is not owned by the person who is trying it out, we can take it off them if they are crap at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 1 hour ago, SARJ said: Perhaps you'd like to become an active member of S82 and help build an atmosphere? Although when you mention to people this means arriving early and staying late before/after KO to sort out displays each week, most people's enthusiasm for atmosphere rapidly disappears. No your ok mate, I've no problem with you doing that, and it's good that you do it. But why are you getting so defensive when I say the atmosphere is shit? Do you think it's good? I've been going since 1975, we didn't need to have a club within a club to create an atmosphere back then. We just used to go in the ground and make some noise. We now have crowds of 20,000 and make less noise than when we had crowds of 8,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
