I don't mind the drum. Infact during the reigns of tsm and totsm it kept me awake during the games.



more pro drum than anti drum

The drum wasn't around for their reigns. If debuted at the Stoke game, just after Sherwood had taken over, I think.

I think the case is proven.

For those who love singing at football matches, the best way to encourage more of it is to do more of it.

Come on chaps, "sing yer 'arts out fo' the lads"

This is you trying to find some common ground with the urchins isn't it?

Drums at football games are a definite NO, very uncool and very irritating. QPR had one in the late 1960s when I was a kid and I didn't like it then. Luckily some opposition fans (possibly ours) managed to get hold of it and smash it up.

Now air raid sirens are a different thing, very good being sounded off as a corner is about to be swung in.

Talking of uncool things, I noticed on MOTD that Leicester fans still have those plastic clappy things as obviously they can't co-ordinate their hands sufficiently to clap like normal people.

Probably, this is West Brom you are talking about.

Yes, I saw that too. It makes them all look like they've never been to a football match before and this is some inducement to get them to come along and 'get with the programme'. Distinctly uncool.

It's West Brom. There wouldn't be any people sitting around them.

They just thought they had bought 2 big toffee apples and a small table.
