Bring him back, the atmosphere at the games is suffering due to the ban.
The club has bent over backwards for the moaning residents either let people park or bring back the drummer. Give and take situation, and to be honest it is a bit of a p**s take banning the drum.

:engsmil: :engsmil: :engsmil: :engsmil:
 
the ultras make a great atmosphere aswell! also the singing stanley fans but the drum is a great add on and should come back!
 
People buy a house next to a football stadium and then complain about the noise... aren't you supposed to set these sort of things free into the wild where they belong ?
 
A drum would have made a difference last night to the atmosphere. Certain people where doing their best to get our fans singing but the problem is if someone does not want to they won't sing but I wish the non singers would shut up whinging.
 
You should ask the away grounds before you go.

We had one banned at our home ground till we got it unbanned, but at away games we got it in still.

We have one at home and away games, you would have got it in last night.
 
the ban should be enforced on evening games but not on satrday afternoons as fair enough at 10pm at night thats the last thing you want after coming home from work but on a saturday afternoon they can bugger off and we should have the drum back

Not at all TM but getting behind our team is something I believe in and for certain fans to whinge about the noise to me is unbelieveable.:mad:
 
People were simply complaining about the monotonous banging of a tuneless drum. Anyway, it's a mute point now, as the drum is banned. End of story.
People support their team in the way they see fit. Not everyone wants to be the centre of attention, just as not everyone wants to 'sing'.
Persoanlly I pay my money to be entertained. I don't expect to have to make my own entertainment. ;)
 
Drum would be good if it was played properly. Just whacking it as loud as you can for the whole game is a killer... not good at all... Sorry Matt and Frank.. no offence meant :)

Nobodys asking you to make your entertainment, other people do that.:p

You can just sit in the main stand and make the numbers up...maybe clap once every 3 years, but only for 3-4 seconds because anything more than that and your begining to push your look :D

In your opinion. Others may disagree.

I've been making the numbers up for the past 28 years and its a good job people like me have done, or perhaps there wouldn't be a club there now for you to support?
I've never sat in the stand, even though I helped to build it all those years ago, when we dug the foundations for the extension with spades. I don't stand in silence during a game, but I don't feel the need to sing and continually make a show of myself.

You support the club in your way and I'll do it in mine. But never even begin to imagine that one way is superior to another.

Oh dear in the last line you say that no one is superior but reading your first line it looks to me that you already think you are on a higher level of supporting. Come on adnit it you don't like the new breed of supporters and wish we where back in the conference. I think you where on the FE coach at Stockport, a trip where I sat with some fans who have been going for years while I've only had a season ticket for two years. Maybe you should have sat with us and joined in in your OWN WAY.:)

definately agree with that one kipax, used in context its great for drumming (no pun intended lol) up atmosphere and works a treat.......................whereas inane constant banging is just plain annoying.

You really are an obnoxious character aren't you? Not only have you made a series of false accusations on here (claiming false recordings of gates, etc), but you are way off the mark once again. I suggest you think very carefully before posting your drivel once again.
 
Right before there is some nastiness said lets just get things in context please.

Both groups of supporters want the same thing i.e. ASFC to do well and be supported (YES???)

Some people have been long-term members of the club (not saying OSC just the club) and have been through thick and thin with the team, others have started to follow ASFC in the past few years and power to ALL of you for the loyal and proud support you have all shown to the club. Let me just say that if someone wants to sing/cheer then they can, if someone wants to stand and clap when they want they can.

I am usually placed into the away end so can you see how I have to stand with hands deep in pockets when ASFC score!!

Back to thread now. Yes the suggestion to have drum on afternoon games is a good idea and yes to it being used to rally the fans at certain time within the game.

I knew that... I wasnt there but I knew it was you TM and I pretty much know who else was there.

First time I went on stanley there was half a stand and I stood on the terrace thats now the other half.... i think it (the terrace half) had a roof... pretty sure it did.. but not 100%
