Seriously annoying Tom Tom Drum in South Lower

[TrueBlue]

I can see both sides of the argument here, I am a massive supporter of all things atmosphere streamers drums balloons the whole Shabang, however I can see that you have different type of fans and we must respect that, I will try and make contact with this young lad and get him over with us in W block and get him included with us and like minded fans also teach him some songs and how there is a kind of unwritten rule on how and when to play, might sound silly but there is a time and a place but we should not question the lads enthusiasm we should embrace it and guide him to making a real difference, I will let you know how I get on

My mind boggles at the mentality of some posters. :nope: Adults who should know better hurling abuse at players, managers, refs and lino's or a teenager with a drum in the FAMILY stand. I know who's side I'm on with this!!

If u r annoyed by th drummer give the culprit a club burger - that should stop him doing anything for weeks.

I'm sure that when he goes home & his Mum has forgotten to cook his tea she will delighted when he pipes up with "Duh Duh Duh Duh F*****g Useless"!

This is difficult, can we have a poll on "Who not to sit next to?"
tom tom 10yr old drummer
fat 2 seat filler sized bloke
foul mouth ranter
pre war Blues history bore
no mates, semi bonkers day release chap.

Some techo I am sure can do this.

Why oh Why has someone decided to bring a drum in the South Lower directly behind the goal ?

Please tell this young man firstly that the Tom Tom Drum he has makes a noise that is so high pitched it might as well be him playing a Triangle.

Secondly if he is going to bring one then PLEEEEEEEASE make it a Base Drum.

Thirdly, and most importantly, Learn how to beat the damn thing to the rhythm of the chant, not half cocked and out of beat !!!!!

Fourthly, Learn some decent chants.

Not knocking the young mans enthusiasm but he may find it shoved over his head if it continues.

Another annoying thing about the South Lower is as the crowds grow, so does the amount of annoying little kids that come to watch.

Its not that great for seeing anything over the half way line , but its great for the second half action (and its cheap)

Family enclosure pah, I pay my money and sit where I like. (or where my young son and friend want to) :whistling::blush:

I knew I'd get a response but COME ON. If you read it properly it was tongue in cheek about the kids. I did point out I sit their with my young son and his friend. They are Ten also.

On the Drum scenario he is no way Ten years old and I have no problem with a Drum in the South Lower. Just the fact it needs to be the right type. It was so high pitched it was damn annoying. Practice would help him.

I am sure he was looking forward to it and he looked at least fifteen to be honest. If he was Ten then appologies but then hey I am a grumpy old git.

:drummer::unsure:

Perhaps you could help him. You seem to be good at banging on today :winking:

Drums should be confined to the west stand only. Who assumes that everybody likes to here a drum at a football match. Blxxdy annoying when you're sat near one. Why should people in the south bank lower have to put up with it. If he was sat near me he'd get the drum over his head and the sticks up his nostrils.

What makes you so special. If it's good enough for the West Stand it's good enough for anywhere else.... IMO

Can you pick this person out in a line up.
He's a 13 to 14 year old who is celebrating his 10th birthday and looks about 20 to 24.
He sits in the south lower where he can't see the game and beats a drum with no bass and he has no musical aptitude.
The drum is not his but belongs to a facebook page.

 

[Jam_Man]

That's it may be really annoying for people sat near it?

People sat nearby might have been first timers celebrating their birthday too and now they might not fancy coming along again.

I don't mind drums in the singing sections, especially when you can choose to sit as close or as far as you want. However having them pop up in random parts of the ground is going to annoy people.

FFS Im really beginning to wonder if taking my bagpipes to the next game is worth it after all this moaning.

He'll be easier to spot at the Hull game as he'll have sticks poking out of his nostrils.

It may be sooner than he thinks if he carries on banging it

Wouldn't be a nice thing to read if he chanced upon this page, even though you do mean it as a joke (I hope).
