So........ Drum at the Amex????

[Moshe Gariani]

Bloody hell this is close.I am all for a fair vote, but like a lot of other older ones, this would stop me going after supporting the club for over 50 years, even Archer, Bellotti and Gillingham did not stop me, but this would. Drums have no place in football grounds, As said ask the true Palace fans, they loathe it. We are superb supporters, praised by many, we don't need plastic additions, just support the team like we do, and that is fine. Please other old gits, let stop this nonsense and Vote No know......Please

You are not alone. If I wanted to be a German I'd go and live there.

I'm with you Bobby !

Despite a perceived correlation between those in the 'Drums are annoying, embarrassingly tin-pot, Reading-esque' camp, and being an old fart ... I do think common sense will prevail in the end.

A lot of us suffered severe emotional turmoil at Boro, which understandably affects our ability to think rationally.

Once the cloud of Ramirez and Dean has lifted and we come through victorious against Wednesday, to a tumultuous chorus of 'Wem-ber-ley, Wem-ber-ley', I'm sure this will all be forgotten.

Really? REALLY? You would stop going to the football because there is a drum there. Absolutely pathetic.

All about opinions, I think having a drum is pathetic as well, we all have our choices. Did anyone go to the England U21 game ?, if they did, think they would vote no as it was a relentless drone. Honestly if the votes goes that way, I will just go to away games, but not ones with drummers, if I am pathetic, fine, but probably been to a lot more games than you and based my thoughts on what I have experienced. If you want to hear a drummer. go and watch Royal Blood, who are superb by the way.

Thing is a constant drum would be well annoying. or a drum on a Monday night game v burton!

but, if any went to boro, their drummer was absolutely spot on - just knew when and when not to get things started - drowned us out, and kept the pace and noise levels right

So far 260 have voted out of 28,000. The decision won't be made here . . . thank god.

Celtic have multiple drums and one of the best atmospheres in the world

Celtic play against Sunday league teams so win 4-0 every single week. The atmosphere is pretty good at the Amex when we win 4-0, too.

 

[Trelford Mills Guide Dog]

I stood right next to the Boro fans and didn't hear a word of any of their songs. It was a tuneless drone with a relentless and irritating drum beat.

Let's not make the same mistake. It sounds gash.

That's pretty much what I heard too.
Yes, it was loud, but a relentless thud, and the sound of 'Follow, follow, follow ...' on repeat, ad infinitum, isn't the wonderful atmosphere I'd be looking to recreate at the Amex.

 

[Westdene Wonder]

No musical items should be permitted in the ground those that want to distract other supporters should join a music group or choir

I do not think YOU are pathetic but I would find it pathetic if someone stopped going to the football all because of an occasional drummer. I am not advocating a consistent drone either, more an occasional beat to keep signing in time. Like you say, there is a difference between some goon hitting a drum over and over compared to the way Boro used it on Saturday. Oh yes, agree with Royal Blood by the way

I'm a Drum NIMBY


Yes, but not near me

Think you would get a constant drone, all games I have been to that have had drummers, have been ruined for me, as I love a good atmosphere, as said if it get voted in, then so be it, but not for me and think thousands of others, think maybe this is the 'kids' voting, as i really cant imagine the adults voting for it. Have you been to Selhurst ?, say no more, just plan awful. As stated I have many Palace mates, ok older ones, who actually hate the 'constant drone' as they call it.

 

[Glawstergull]

No thanks.

 

[Dolph Ins]

Not voted for either. I think a drum, well operated and on occasion could work but not all match every match.

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

Cracking atmosphere at Fratton Park. Is that an occassional drum i hear

 

[Black Rod]

How many people on here and in the wider public cite Germany as a great inspiration for atmosphere and wish we could be more like them? I hate to break it to those of you who who are anti drum, but basically EVERY German team has a drum

 

[Albion Dan]

Vote yes people!

I don't know how many? (Never heard anyone say that)

 

[Maldini]

To say the band who play at England games or use to are/were annoying is an understatement.I cannot stand listening to the constant tripe.
