Drumming up support
Re: Drumming up support
Sorry to turn this subject back to the original topic, but 5,000 people today witnessed the unveiling of the giant flag in the North Stand by someone who quite obviously is the last person who cares about it."YF Dan" wrote:Given that I'm feeling all democratic, here's another poll:
Drums at football matches:
Love 'em
Hate 'em
I must admit, I love 'em.
But then, I've always said I ever buy the club, I'll change our shorts to royal blue, put green trim on our yellow shirt, and introduce Brazilian drums and beautiful women all around the ground.
Minchery Farm desperately lacks atmosphere, I think drums would liven it up no end. Both Aldershot matches this year have been by far the best atmosphere, and it's largely thanks to their drum.
Discuss.
Could the money have been better spent on a drum or two, given that they are not so cumbersome to manage?

I noticed that too, I think that they should have had at least 2 people unfurling it which would have made the whole exercise look less laboured."Snake" wrote:Sorry to turn this subject back to the original topic, but 5,000 people today witnessed the unveiling of the giant flag in the North Stand by someone who quite obviously is the last person who cares about it.

The topic of conversation for the first 30 minutes of the game was the lack of enthusiam shown by the guy laying out the flag in the North Stand.

Interestingly, this topic hasn't created one new song, just dug up some (pretty unspectacular) efforts from the past.
Can we come up with a couple of new songs?
To set the ball rolling:
His name is Robert Duffy
He's always in a huffy...
He doesn't score enoughy
He just takes penalties
du du du duh du du...
(to the tune of the Adams family.

Sorry to drag this one up again but lots of people at Edgar Street seemed to like using a percussion instruments (aka a temporary stand) to up the noise levels in the later stages of the second half. It seems to work at other clubs and apparently the Bristol Rovers game is about making more noise than Them.
