Old school. Nice.

I don't recall noticing this on Friday night.

1) Where was it coming from?
2) How did they get it past the ultra-thorough security frisking thing?

Definitely at the Burnley and Fulham games and in the South West.

Couldn't decide if I really liked it or not. its only a couple of steps away from a drum!

Nothing wrong with an air horn at a match....unless you are sitting one seat from it.

If it's a couple of steps from a drum it's one step from a vuvuzela though.

It was on the steps to the Mill Road Park and Ride after the match.

OK if it's a safe distance away. Bl@@dy annoying if you are right next to it.

The one in the SW corner for the Burnley game was more of a blower horn (vuvuzela type instrument) not an air horn. I was above him and could see him blowing away!! EDIT - Oooh err missus - i was in a hospitality box and not physically above him

I'm in favour of anything that helps ramp up the atmosphere. Air horns give it a slightly continental vibe

Yup, big GetThatBoardDown placard type thing. Same as they used to do with badges. Actually not sure why the Albion don't make much of a big deal about badges, they're cheap as chips, look pretty damn gorgeous and are highly collectible. Club missing a bit of a trick there IMHO.

Actually, come to think of it, why can't we get HT BoardMan back for comic effect rather than NoddingHeadAlexFerguson?

I didn't see him at the Fulham game but there is usually an older fella with one of these in North Stand.

It was doing the trick in getting a coordinated shout together - An improvement on on previous random singing..

Watching the Fulham highlights and was impressed by the guy in the North banging something metal (maybe the back wall of the stand?). Sounded excellent throughout & a really good way of encouraging singing without the need for a drum. Keep it up whoever you are!

We are very close to the horn blowing "gentleman" in the SWC and love it, it really ramps up the atom in the SWC, he is always singing away, I hear there is just 20 season tickets left in the SWC for next season, should be an even better atmosphere next season, being right next to the away fans also.
