ben tuohy Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Went down to the latics club shop before they rang Everton and told me that it is against their policy to let drums in! Personally I think they are just scared of getting outsung! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiggaZaggaAthletic Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Not that you cant have a great atmosphere without the drum, it is certainly influential in forming one. It also gets fans chanting all at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beag_teeets Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'm disappointed by this. I'm not a fan of drums at football but I believe the great escape and the backing of the crowd played a part in our great result with Everton.

4froale Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 im sure plenty of fans will be delighted on here, they would be better suited to a library than a football match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfwaymick Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Load up mad pad for iphone drive everybody mad!!!! Record your drum sounds and sorted. lol.. i like it. Shame they banned the vuvuzelas. Now that would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshOWTB Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 IMO Atmospheres are better without drums and the like. I think the atmosphere has been better for the games recently with the drum than it has in years.... Although I think you can probably put that down to us playing better/cup run/bigger crowds rather than the drum, although maybe not! I for one like the drum! I wouldn't want it directly next to me but in the same stand helps with the atmosphere/singing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Thank :censored: for that! Trust me gallons of ale and 4,200 'tics shouldn't need a drum to be heard! We didn't have a drum last time at Goodison….nor did the electric Chaddy End or Main Stand in the first game. I think a few of the choir in the RRE need the drum to regulate their need to remember, to breath 'in and out' In all honesty, used properly it has added to the atmosphere recently, but we'll be reet without it….

pukka Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Goodison last time was bouncing - didn't hear a drum Didn't hear it at Forest this year and that was a great atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonesyOAFC Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 If we're seriously having to rely on a drum to create an atmosphere at our biggest game for donkey's years then we may as well give up. PNE away last season was the best atmosphere I've heard at a Latics game in recent years and guess what... no drum. The home game was a great atmosphere, but I think it would've been without the drum too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMag Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 @deyres42, well said. There is no place for drums at football matches, though I might make an exception for samba drums in Brazil. I keep hoping that someone will lock up the detestable England supporters band, but no luck so far. @oafc lover, wash your mouth out. No need for such personal abuse, especially when deyres42 is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 personally i can take it or leave it. how you lot can remember if a drum was at preston or not is remarkable. i remember it for simpson having a stormer and weslowski scoring a rare goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for such personal abuse, especially when deyres42 is right. All opinion my friend, and my opinion is that you also, are a miserable :censored:. I can only presume that your idea of a good atmosphere would be 35,000 fans sitting in silence politely applauding only when there is a goal. Nothing wrong with getting behind your team, and if a drum or band aid the atmosphere, which recently our drummer has been, then I can't see any problem?

Forte_Baby Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Never been the biggest fans of drums in the past but think compared to the two previous drummers Mr Collect and the lad before him. Ben does a good job and helped get the atmosphere going the last two cup games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInAus Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Drums at football are like nuclear power stations. Sure, they do a job - but I don't want one next to me! Edited February 26, 2013 by BlueInAus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMag Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 oafc lover, you are detached from reality. I am neither miserable nor a :censored:. For you to equate a dislike of drums with wanting fans to sit in silence would be hilarious if your comment were not so moronic. I have been to many stadia where the atmosphere made your hair stand on end - what each occasion had in common was that the atmosphere was provided by fans singing their hearrts out (cf.the superb Latics fans last night), not by somebody banging a drum ad nauseam. Get a grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
