[Football] I'd like a drum at the Amex

Kalimantan Gull · Jul 11, 2022

That was a fantastic atmosphere tonight, I wasn't expecting it at all, but it was loud and lively and I usually say i hate drums but it didn't half help build the atmosphere to a crescendo. Probably only a couple of brighton games have beaten that atmosphere in my memory.

I would like those wooden rattles and kids standing on orange boxes too, but those ideas can f*** off in the modern corporate customer experience world, where the only topless thing that is politically correct is f***in' bottles!.

No. No. No. A thousand times no.

It’s easy to have a good atmosphere when a team is winning and scoring lots of goals. The crowd responds to the team.

This. The ManUre game atmosphere was just electric.

Drum, clackers, Mexican waves, mobile phone lights; surprisingly enjoyable (I can't believe I just wrote that).

Sorry I have to disagree, I went and it worked when 50% of the audience were children.
Mobile lights, NO, NO, NO, NO,
Clackers, NO, NO ,NO, NO
Mexican wave, it’s old hat, NO, NO, NO, NO
Drum….. I like the sort of Native American war drum thing before a free kick, that was coooool

30,000 whoopee cushions, and we all sit down hard just before a free kick. That'll put their keeper off fo' sho' :lolol:

An enterprising manufacturer who made a flask that looked like a drum (maybe with a genuine stretched skin that could be beaten) with a top cunningly disguised as one of the tuning pegs could make a fortune. Bring 'em on!

Why? What is wrong an atmosphere?

The best crowds have a big atmosphere that lifts the team when they playing badly.

I'd like an Opal Fruit at the AMEX...

...but my mortgage provider won't let me take out extra borrowing.

The last thing we need is Simon LeBon sailing his frickin yacht into the Amex. Not sure how that will improve the atmosphere.

I don’t know from your username whether you have the opportunity to go regularly, but I would argue there is always an atmosphere but it ranges from extremely loud to underwhelming at best.

It doesn’t always come across on TV, but then I would argue last night didn’t sound too loud either, just a lot of squealing. That said, I’m not denying that it wasn’t a great atmosphere and must have been a different but fantastic experience.

In terms of the best crowds lifting their team, I agree, but interested to know who you think they are, because in my experience with the exception of Leeds, crowds often aren’t dissimilar to ours.

No drum, clackers or anything else for me. We don’t at away games and our fans are excellent

Drums often kill any kind of organic atmosphere. There's something quite awful about a match where the crowd has a drum but where there's no atmosphere. At Huddersfield for example, I watched a number of matches the last few years and almost all you could hear is incessant drumming and very little atmosphere, few people elect to join in. It is such a relief when the opposing team scores and it lets up for a while. As someone said, unless you are Leeds or someone like Liepzig, there is little a drum can do to er, drum up an atmosphere. That is dependent upon how the team is playing on the pitch.
