Can we have a section that dresses all in black, is lead by a Spurs fan and the only lyrics we have to know are 'whoa,whoa,ahh,woah'?

Like some others, I am slowly coming round but I'll stress the key reason is that I think a beat could keep songs properly-paced and, maybe, enable multiple stands to be co-ordinated.

Currently most songs experience extreme acceleration to the point it's not possible to actually get words out as the speed reached is just too fast.

Even the new AK song "I just don't think you understand...." has become incredibly fast on the 2mil...better than Ozil that im sure no-one has a clue what we're actually saying!

I'm in favour if it is decent drum and that is played by someone competent who can keep a rhythm and know when to drum and when not to. The Boro drummer was very good.

But there has to be one song sung at a time for that to work. Some seem very keen just to plough their own furrow.

Agreed. There would need to be some goodwill shown by what seem to be competing factions. From my lofty position in the WSU, I have no idea if that is possible or not.

I'm coming round to it, too. Not just any old drummer though. I found out last week that the drummer at Dulwich Hamlet (whose fans do the whole singing/drumming thing very well, bearing in mind the size of their crowd) used to drum in a half-decent band. There's an art to it.

This whole "2 groups competing in the North" is absolutely killing any chance of the atmosphere.... I've never fc(king heard anything like it before at any ground, why do we have to be so backward!!!

No.

Possible Third poll question .... how many voting yes would be willing to have the drum within a 10 seat distance of where they are sitting or even in their section? :glare: #nimby

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.

THIS.

It would be good to keep a beat in a really big game but the atmosphere is going to be there anyway. It would, however be absolutely ridiculous in a Tuesday night game with less than 20K in. Charlton's was dreadful last season. It was literally JUST a drum.

Plus it's against everything I believe in football wise. The Goldstone North Stand had no problems keeping time by clapping. Plus The Judge would buy his own drum and cut across any beat started from "the other side"
