We can get a bit anal about that type of thing

OK between consulting adults.

Anybody taking a drum to a football match should be held up to public ridicule. Or go to watch Portsmouth or Sheffield Wednesday or Bolton.

I think it's a good thing.

You're entitled to your opinion. However, this thread, the thread we had on the subject before and the rections of people I've spoken to and sat near, seem to suggest that the majority of fans don't like it. You're, effectively, forcing the drum on fans and ignoring others' opinions.

Why not respect the wishes of the majority, ditch the drum, and continue contributing to the atmosphere in positive ways?

I honestly don't think this place is at all reflective of the Villa support
Curb is one of the favourite sitcoms, the hatred for Bono is of the scale, on the politics thread it's always leaning left, sometimes very left, people's music choices are bands no ones heard of

The real world is not like H&V

I also mentioned people around me. Where I sit. In the Lower Holte. Near the sodding drum! Everyone around me has been saying it's shite and annoying since its debut. I've never heard any budding Russ Abbott getting excited about the "atmosphere".

The hatred for Bono on here is too restrained for my liking.

The current main topic in the music section is Led Zep. I'm pretty sure that most people have heard of them

No to the drum. Especially when the drummer starts playing it in the concourse and does not look behind them before a certain someone who was walking behind him nearly got smacked in the head with the beater.

I think we should all start listening to the popular beat combos like Coldplay and Kasabian to see what we're missing out on.

Perhaps Mr Nigel Kennedy with his shoulder banjo would be a better option.

[Drummond]

I hate musical instruments at a game. It's shit.

Rather than encourage more singing it puts people off.

I hate musical instruments at a game. It's shit.

It's almost as bad as having them at a U2 gig.

I think there is a difference between someone in the crowd banging one and the club employing someone to do it. The sound of the drum might be annoying but unless it is club supplied, "small time" seems  a bit harsh.

Incidentally, the biggest of clubs are capable of looking small time sometimes. Unless it is some tradition going back a century, for example, the Arsenal behind-goal flag wavers are incredibly Bolton.

[Small Rodent]

We need that bloke off the Police Academy movies to make lots of odd sound effects in the crowd.

Such as clapping and cheering?
