Drums

Heard a rumour the drums are to be banned for next season, anyone from the club shed some light on this? Would be nice to know sooner rather than later, as I had planned to have the drum re-skinned, but not much point if it's banned :(

Don't know if he can be trusted, but Baldy said as the result of last night's meeting with nearby residents the drum won't be played next season. :(

I think it'll be a great shame because it really adds to the atmosphere, and ninety minutes a fortnight or so, isn't a lot to put up with.

Get yourself a really loud trumpet, if it has been banned.;)
 
Will singing and chanting also be banned ? Will you not be able to cheer when Stanley score, I am sure that that is louder than the drum.
 
On what basis has the drums been banned????

Shame cos when the drum ain't banging you soon notice the atmosphere go flat & next season we could do with all the fan noise behind the team:cool:
 
we need to keep the peace with the locals but how many would have been happy with just banning it at night games?

Lets have a roof then we will not need a drum

yeah think just banning it at night games is a good idea i think thats what southport do...as we found out.... they cant really complain about noise at 3pm on a saturday afternoon cause they moved next a football club!

But at a evening its not what most of us would want to here in more or less out back garden!

I wouldnt complain - i'd gladly join in from over the garden fence lmfao

If they want to complain i'll offer a house swop :D
 
A new song for the Ultras.

I hear the sound of distant drums
Far away, far away
And if they call for me to come
Then I must go, and you must stay.

Wouldn't have a problem with it being banned for evening matches, but like most have said, the atmosphere dies a bit when the drums stop. And 90 minutes a fortnight isn't gonna kill ya.
 
There are some sad people about. They moan about anything. If the floodlights aren't too bright, then the car park causes problems.... and now the drum is deemed too loud. What is wrong with these people. What is wrong with the town actually having a successful football club? Do the people of Accrington want one? They knew what buying a house near a football club could entail, and if they arent happy, they're more then welcome to give their home to me.

Anyway rant over. Perhaps I could understand it being banned at night games. But Saturdays is just ridiculous.
 
its absolutely stupid though! its a football ground for bloody sake! its suppost to have an atmosphere! its the only sound i can hear in the ground!except from the sound from the ultras , but i bet no other football clubs had to do this really! i agree with alvin, they knew they was going next to a football ground , what did they exspect us to do , not make any noise! cumon get a life!
