I stand in the shed as Jase calls it,yes you can hear the drums,but to me it actually adds to the atmosphere,I love the noise all be it from afar, and the swirling flags. My mate who I come with dos'nt like the drums but it does not stop him coming,he will travel to all home and away games if he can possibly get there.
I think also that the drum noise is an excuse. The real reasons are many,the cost for many families coming up to Xmas, is too much for many ordinary working families. Another reason I have had said to me are the facilities namely toilets, if you stand in the shed you have about 220 yards to walk round the ground to the nearest toilet,unless you go into the Club House, which really should not be allowed during a match,but anyway when you reach the toilets they are an absolute disgrace,escpecially for ladies, men do not mind so much walking through wet floors, maybe the club should employ a young man to mop and generally tidy up the toilet facilities during a match day, any way thats my opinion on the subject.
