Drums

You mean this one Diesel.....

"As most of you will be aware we have now had our drums banned from the ground along with massive banners......... 1 word for the morans who continue to complain about the club ARSEHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why have they nowt better to chuffing do for god sake... what we had going was something special. Idiots.... why whats the ****ing problem first it's parking issues cos the club is progressing which inturn causes more people to come and watch, then it was the floodlights being to bright!!!!! now chuffing flags and a drum jesus what next our town actually having a football team what is with folk in Accrington? Can someone please ask me this..... Have Rovers had theres banned? How about all the other clubs in Lancashire seen as Lancashire council has got involved? Or even other clubs in England? Bet they haven't. Surley it has to be the same rule for all? Not one rule for one and one rule for another? What i would now like to see is all the "Ultras" or folk who support what we the ultras are now doing is write letters to Scum coucil and Lancashire county coucil compalining about this and stating that they surley can't just ban it at 1 ground..... it must be done at all if they are to ban it. mine is already in the post. Come on we can't let this happen suley.

Show your support and get a letter sent today...."

Absolute quality :D
 
Could the club please come forward and issue an Official Statement regarding this. I can stretch to accepting the drum (if it is banned at other grounds as well) but banners?????

I've got an idea for them. Why don't we just stop going and then there will be no problem with noise or parking.

An Official Statement that says exactly who has decreed this please.
 
What on earth can the reason be for wanting banners banned? What problem can they possibly cause for residents?

Drum on a Saturday afternoon can't be all that bad either surely? I can understand it in the evening for houses that are close to the ground. Maybe some of them have lived there since before Stanley had that ground so maybe they didn't move next to a football club. I remember looking at a house on Whalley Road when we were moving and the owner pointing out the proximity of the ground as an asset. He could watch matches from up a tree in his garden!

I remember in the olden days when we lived in Sultan Street and Stanley had the Peel Park ground. The crowds came flooding down the street on a Saturday afternoon after the match ended and there wasn't a hope of trying to get home "against the tide". I remember my Mum used to say "Let's get back before football looses" (That's 'looses' as opposed to 'loses'. lol) but we didn't see living close to the ground as a problem. We were proud of our team and the bigger and noisier the crowds coming down the street the more chuffed we were. My Mum never went to watch but I was taken sometimes even though I was only little.

Before everybody starts to get up in arms about banners, can I remind folks that Cammy's original "rant" which has just been copied above, was, in fact, in response to an "April Fool" posting, which, in the end, caused Cammy a little embarrassment , :) as,in fact, there had been no mention of such a ban. I think the latest news about the drum may be true, but please don't all go off on one about banners, because there really is no need.
 
All the more reason for the club to make an official response to say if this is true or not.

PS: Sorry if I caused some confusion with my above post :o. I was only replying to Diesel. Still quality though :D

we know that Rob frequently logs on, as well as any number of other 'well informed' individuals. I don't think its a case of pandering to us, more a case of just answering a straight forward question.

1 - Are drums going to banned?
a) yes
b) no
c) The idea has been mooted but as yet we are undecided.

2 - Are banners banned (how ironic)
a) yes
b) no
c) the idea has been mooted but we are as yet undecided

3 - (only the case of 1 & 2 being a) Is this your idea, Livingstone Road well meaning society's, HBC or LCC?

The ban has been implemented by .........


Hardly running and would take two minutes. No rumours then just hard fact.


They kneww months ago that they would not be building a roof. We argued the toss amongst ourselves anyway and the feeling became a little stronger that we want a roof. Answered straight away there would never have been any furore or fuss over it.

There is an old saying that goes ... politeness costs nothing.
Neither does information.

If the club knows something they should announce it there and then, not the week after.

Banners haven't been mentioned mate. It was a april fools wind up. The drums being banned is the rumour, apparently Rob told the residents in a meeting that the drums would be banned as of next season, to uproarious applause too I'm told.
 
Drums banned.. see official website...

Smells a bit to me...

If you buy a house next to a football ground then you have no right to complain. Just my opinion of course :)
 
I fully agree kipax,
If the residents would like to move away from a football ground I would like to offer my house in exchange for one nearer to the ground.
 
in short, the football club have asked that drums aren't used in the ground from now on to ensure that we can maintain good relations with our neighbours. banners certainly aren't banned...
 
Unfortunately I'm a Livingstone resident. I go to all the games, have done since I was about 12 and never once have I complained about any noise or traffic etc. I know one resident goes to games, he too is ok - its just one or two of the others who never go to games, have moved in in the past 10 years or so who cause nothing but hassel for the club.
 
Yes, those are the ones Im talking about. If you live on Livingstone Road and haven't complained then fair play to you. In fact you have one of the best places going when it comes to match day:) . But as Kisser has just said, these people don't even go. They are just moaning for no reason...

PS: If these people pay for a new roof, then we'll happilly not bring the drum ;)
