MrBibs Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 They are great and deserve a lot of credit. Took my 10 y/o in there for the Dagenham game (her first time in there) as crowd would be relatively small. I warned her it would be crap view and bad language but she's seen/heard it from other stands and wanted to try it. Despite crap view / bad language she absolutely loved it, especially with the drummers getting the atmosphere going. Random choruses of Forza Eastenders have followed throughout the week. She wants to go in the East End every time now - Oh well, I guess there's always the highlights to find out what actually happened at the other end of the pitch!

BS4 on Tour... Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I absolutely applaud all efforts to get an atmosphere going at Ashton Gate, after the last few years it has got harder and harder to retain enthusiasm during games let alone be vocal and up for it! So, well done to you guys who are trying to get behind the lads in the way you think best. I'm just from the era when the East End was the proper East End, loud, proud and intimidating. A dark terrace where we filled the whole end and chanted non-stop. We didn't need instruments and we had no post-goal vacuous music like 'Tom Hark' by The Piranhas etc that you hear at most grounds these days. We just wanted to go mad and mental when the City scored and end up 50 yards from where you were originally stood when the bedlam died down! Yes, I know those times are gone in these post-Hillsborough days but I don't half miss 'em! Guys, keep drumming, I admire your efforts from the Williams these days but you go for it and get behind the lads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckle_red Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 They are over powering and drum far too much. Also drumming over other songs and banging with "City" on the end at every corner or throw in...it's too much, they should join in songs that need to keep the pace right but not dictate the atmosphere.

More Ringo Starr and less John Bonham, maybe. Oh, and if anyone does watch the clips on YouTube, they should turn the volume down a bit first!

The kiddies banging the drums are not going to have a clue about Ringo or Bonzo. You've got to get up to date, old chap.

A quite brilliant suggestion, here. Get a drum machine for the East End. Perhaps SL could pay for one to be incorporated into the newbuild, a permanent feature. Then the kiddies would have hands free for waving flags. I think the old East enders will support this ideal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been asked to stop commenting on symbols or signals, consisting of pieces of cloth attached to a pole or rope, and so am unable to respond to your point, "iScore" other than to say, I'm fully aware of the wider issues regarding the old guard on the east end, h&s conscious club officials, no-stopping yellow-zones, and atmosphere generating ultra types brandishing pieces of cloth attached to poles or ropes...

Forza Revolution Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 From the Atyeo it sounds like drums accompany every song now ? If used to often they lose there effect. Less is more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS34Red Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 From the Atyeo it sounds like drums accompany every song now ? If used to often they lose there effect. Less is moreseems that way. I did try telling them a while back that a drum if used in the correct way can be a great addition to the atmosphere. However they continue to bang it with no musical knowledge at all. Can't keep a consistent beat going and don't know when to play it and when not to play it. A good dj knows what songs the crowd he's playing for wants to hear, he knows what will fill the floor etc. A good drummer will know when to bang the drum and when not too, will know when the crowd needs a bit of a lift etc and knows when to just let the crowd do the singing. But seems these people rather than helping the atmosphere would rather bang their drum for attention.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Do they do many away games? Didn't see or hear them at Crewe or Tranmere - think I saw them at Swindon but not with the drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I think they are superb for creating a bit of life in the Eastend especially when everyone has dozed off a bit But there are some songs that don't need the drum but they drum anyway, Slightly annoying but easy to ignore and sing along anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Give them a break at least they try to get try to get things going. AG is a morgue most of the time away teams must love playing here it's up there with the least intimidating atmosphere in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
