SDBS36 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Well done to the lads on the drums, they made the atmosphere better tonight. Not everyone's cup of tea but at least they had a go. Well done the lads with the drums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Fans re-united, Brighton fans showed support to Argyle a couple years back when they were in administration etc, since then Argyle have often followed Brighton and vice versa Wasn't it the Brighton chairman who supported us in the early days of the AV application? I remember us giving Brighton our backing when their new stadium was going through a difficult planning process, but the love-in seems to be spreading.

Lew-T Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Bloody awful. Care to have a input then than just criticise for a minority of people trying to improve the atmosphere at the Gate? Least them lads gave it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm another vote for the drummers. They did create atmosphere, which in a 0-0 isn't always there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliftonville Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm another vote for the drummers. They did create atmosphere, which in a 0-0 isn't always there. The drum also killed a few chants. Bit too much smashing away. Not the worst but a long way behind the very well known bloke who emigrated.

At times it certainly helped the atmosphere, it's just about knowing when to play it and when not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least them lads gave it a go. Improve the atmosphere I guessing you didn't go to the game. I was stood next to it before like a quite a few chose to move away to another part of the stand, the drumming was out of time and became annoying, the majority of Eastend just seemed to get pissed off with the constant onslaught of banging and just ignored it.

You never know, it might improve. I didnt think it was good at times, they need to control when they bang the drums etc, but least they tried.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 It reminded me of when Charlton bought a drum earlier in the season, non stop singing from mid first half until Final whistle, also the Forza Eastenders record chant lasting time this season, Went on for a good 10 minutes, And I joined in even though I was sat in the Dolman, Didn't quite get going Forza Dolman Stand, Forza Dolman Stand, Ole Ole Good job Bring it more often I say, along with the megaphone!!!!!!

chalky Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Was in Dolman Block A last night and thought the EE sounded great and loud. The 10 minute forza EE chant in the first half looked and sounded good, think a song like that is aided by having the drum to keep everyone in time! In favour of the drum if used sparingly and only for red army type chants that can last a while. Shouldn't be banged constantly and pointlessly as annoying and can detract from the atmosphere!

I'm happy for the drummers to continue just go easy on it. good work lads takes some bottle to do it i'd imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been a bit fuller if you could get tickets online the night before the game! Seems there is no tickets available online for this Saturday either! Sort it out city, I have emailed DL but still awaiting a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Brighton fans struggling to work out the words to the forza song, 'I watch EastEnders' are amongst those suggested on their forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion Dung Spreader Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Well done the drummers - please do it every game. The "netters" and the "oldies" were much more united because of you. There were times when they were almost synchronised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCTWH Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Oh Deary me!! Please dont stand where you were in the first half mate.. I was looking forward to the Boro game until I read that!!

real_bristol Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think they gave it a good go. Room for improvement but better in than out. The drum was the reason the forza eastenders song went on for so long because it was the drum that was able to sync the quick singers with the slow ones. Put the drum bang in the middle of the two and it should work. The fact that it got other stands involved to should be reason enough to bring it again. Its got my vote. One drum might be better than two though. Also agree with the megaphone idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yatecidereds Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 It worked for the forza which helped keep it going for so long ! Apart from that was annoying a fair few ! Fair play for trying 2 improve the atmosphere but drumming along to everything no thanks . Used very sparingly when there is a lull could help !

Used very sparingly when there is a lull could help ! it was annoying a few as it was constant. keep it over the young kiddies side as the other blocks dont sing at breakneck speed.
