Drum Replacement In Kop

[Steward]

Some silly sod has asked Alan to purchase a new drum, as the old one has had it. He's asking fans to vote on Twitter, if they want one or not.

[OP67]

No thanks, unless he learns to play it properly!!!

[sidders]

Free Nurofen with every ticket...

I don't mind us having a drum but I think letting the away fans bring one in shouldn't be allowed, I don't see the point in giving them any kind of advantage when they're at an away game

[calmpie]

So having a drum is an advantage?

It helps the away team generate atmosphere, so it potentially is

Hello Alan,
If you decide to purchase another Drum for Eric Delany in the Kop, can you please ensure it has a Mute fitted please, failing that some lessons on how to play it would not go amiss.

Thank you so much, it's either that or supply Ear Defenders at the Turnstiles.

[Bohinen]

Don't worry, if 95% of us vote no he couldn't possibly introduce it.

[Old_pie]

Is it the club's drum or does it belong to some supporter?

Who broke it? KDM?

Who gets to play it if it's the club's? Anyone?

A bit lost as to when it first arrived, anyone?

Unless you think the amount of audible support fans make has no bearing whatsoever then of course it's an advantage. A team bringing 100 fans to Meadow Lane sounds a lot quieter than a team bringing 100 fans and a drum to Meadow Lane, a drum helps a small amount of people make a much louder noise than they would be otherwise making, that much is pretty simple.

Edit: I think the Trewster supplied the last drum not too long ago

I reckon we ought to have something similar in the Pavis Stand. I’ll happily bring some cymbals.

That should keep everyone awake when there’s not much happening on the pitch.

Incidentally, I see the Kop is renamed the “Air-IT Kop” this season.

I'm there to watch the game .... not to be deafened by some inane simpleton monotonously thumping a drum.

I doubt if any one who bashes 7 Balls out of a Bass Drum in the Kop will get a Membership Card for the Musicians Union anyway, if what lve heard of the last Stick Master. 😢😢

Maybe he should offer his backside as a replacement.

[arnapie]

The Kop is like a younger version of the Pavis some days, a little like a morgue. The drum generates atmosphere, so, yes from me.

Each to there own, but that's a NO from me, l'm a bit choosie when it comes to Kick @r$e time. 😀

I joined this message board the week after the drum started in Z Block.
I had the hangover from hell and he sat on the row behind me...hence the username!
That said I do think the drum adds to the atmosphere and should continue.

[Steward]

If were going to have a drum, can we get one without any skin on.

[queenslandpie]

a Twitter vote over a new drum. God I'm glad I don't engage in twitter. Can't someone just buy one like the good old days and if the sound annoys you don't sit close to it? Since when did a twitter vote prevail over common sense? As part of the fit and proper persons test all Football League chairmen should have to sign a legally binding contract not to tweet those twits.

Or at least one with a mute or damper fitted anyway.

I've got nothing against supporters bringing a drum if they want, as long as they buy it.

Use a triangle, less noise. I would give 5p towards it.

I used to play the triangle in a Jamaican reggae band.
I just used to stand and ting!

I'm sure we had a drum before Jan/2006, maybe it started up again after a few years out of action around that time but I moved to the Pavis before 2006 and yet I can remember passing a drummer on my way out of the Z.
First drummer I can ever remember seeing on TV was "Pedro" the Spanish supporter, 1982 World Cup I think. "Bum bum bum, ES-PAN-YA, bum-bum-bum, ES-PAN-YA"
