Somebody took up the offering out with a offer to accept the offering. The offerer out stopped drumming. Did he poo-poo the poo-pooer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 If there was an option to vote yes-with a responsible drummer I'd select that. Maybe we can get Mark Ashton to sign the Fleetwood drummer? We have had some really crap drummers over the years. People who do not know how to play a drum. It seems if the singing got faster the drummer would get faster but really what you need is the drum to dictate the tempo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 No no no! Still have nightmares about the standard (or lack of) of drumming from back in the Atyeo and East End days! We still laugh about it now and how terrible it was, especially alongside a raging hangover, which we usuallly had as well. Awful! On a slightly more serious note I think it does sound pretty tacky. Bring the megaphone back instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stortz Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 No, please don't do it. It is so cringey it's unbelievable and kills as much atmosphere as it supposedly makes. I really can't conceive why we would want to copy other clubs to do this when the S82 folk are doing their best to establish and/or perpetuate our own distinct identity. I genuinely cannot believe that because a few Fleetwood- FLEETWOOD- fans were smashing away at one people think we should copy them. They needed a drum because they have no bloody identity of their own, and there were bugger all of them. Please, please don't do it, plastic shite.

Andy Horsman Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I voted yes, because it's very effective if used properly, but the one in the old EE was invariably played by someone who had no sense of rhythm and an extremely limited and unimaginative repertoire.

GreedyHarry Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Its a megaphone from me. Or if it had to be drums, a synthesiser programmed with preselected beats, at least then it wouldn't get faster and faster, and we can cut the power lead if its crap!

Septic Peg Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I remember the old days of the Atyeo drummer and a trumpet player iirc. I used to love it. So yes from me. If someone with some rhythm and knowledge of the songs (perhaps if they had one of the faithful alongside making suggestions as to when to play/pitch/tempo) until they know all the songs fully, I say do it.

That's pretty standard in most grounds these days tbh, away fans virtually always out sing home fans, and the vast majority don't need a sodding drum to do it! I could have sworn Fleetwood were known as 'The Trawlermen' or something fish related rather than 'The Spirit Crushingly Persistent Drummers of ******* Woe' anyway.

Looks like 54% still want to sit down in silence though 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.

Meh Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 I think we need it - the atmosphere at the gate is flatter than a really flat thing from flat town. 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 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
