At Huddersfield away this season the drummer was just across the cordon from us. The result was any song started by either us or the home fans was drowned out by a tempo-less THUD THUD THUD.
No. Boro's atmosphere wasn't good because of the drum, it was good because they had a full house and it was a big game.
I don't think songs being sped up is a massive issue really.
