I used to serve behind the bar in that shit-hole.

There was a chap who used to ring up Tom Ross who pretend to be an indian bloke. I think he said he used to ring from the Drakes Drum but I might be wrong.

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.

Leicester rival Albion for having the most cringe worthy set of supporters in the league.

Correct. That'd be "Ashok from the Drakey Drum". I heard he was dead now unfortunately.

He died many years ago.

Shame it wasn't this week, he'd have made the celebrity deathwatch thread, there's a bloody dog made it in there today.

Can we not change the title of this thread to 'Ditch the Drummer'?

To be fair to the Drum, an inanimate object and has no say in where or how it's played it has done nothing wrong.  If it could speak it would probably request to stay at home.  The drummer however is another matter.  Therefore, I say "Ditch the Drummer"

But the drummer, on his own, is not a problem. It's only when he brings the drum with him that the problem starts.

Maybe change it to "Ditch the Drumming" or "Ditch the Drum/Drummer Combination"?

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.
Lincoln City used to have an air raid siren, maybe they still have.
Here it is after being overhauled.

For those of you interested in drums and it would seem like there's a lot of you, we've modified the drum (no, not by chucking it in the Tame) by adding a layer of insulation inside the drum, this muffles the sound so it now sounds like a seat being stamped or a door being slammed as we originally wanted it to and not a big bassy sound that carries as it did before. We're going to try this for tonights game and see how it goes.

It would go better if the drum was left at home.

Especially tonight, with a packed house and the feel-good factor of the new signings.

The drum is not needed

I wish you'd stop banging the drum about banging the drum.
