I've seen Wednesday enough over the years to know that their atmosphere is NOTHING like that play-off game. A big game doesn't need a drum as our game proved, people are up for it in that case anyway. However I will concede that a skillful drummer can aid the atmosphere in a quiet game. But...
You are talking the b@llocks mate. The atmosphere we had against massive was incredible, the best I've ever experienced and guess what? It was without a drum.
The old north stand often sung two competing songs back in the day. It was never a problem then. If the match is important enough and the players are playing well then the atmosphere lifts. We don't need a drum.
