Took the words right out of my mouth there fella. We have some good (& bad) pre-match entertainment but beating a drum while this is on is sheer ignorance.

might do? Will do

I personally feel the drums are great, when being beat by the right people! the atmosphere is good when near mather as he can get the crowd goin, and we do seriously need geordie back! I don't think the 2 new young drummers near the screen do much, they've started a new tune before the carnival de paris song! credit to them for trying but they aren't doing much. and yes the area nearest to the screen is now filled with 14/15 year old kids who stand there and talk and occasionaly shout abuse at opposition players or the officials. me and my mates have decided to move down to the sw corner near mather as the atmosphere sounded brilliant from that end lastnight and it is filled with people who also want to watch a game of rugby

just out of interest how old are you and your mates?

18/19! it's irrelevant how old we are though tbh. i've been a season ticket holder every year at the HJ and you have to admit the atmosphere at home has been on a downwards spiral

its very relevant, if you're 18 looking down on a 15 year old on the premise of them dicking about for disturbing your fun with the drum.





Its not exactly a sympathy inducing situation thats all.

Now if it was Vinnie Paul, Jose Pasillas or Lars Ulrich that would be a different matter

no paul bostaph?

Well he is a journeyman



but i reckon on reflection a good stadium drummer would be Igor Cavalera

well(and its last comment before we get back on topic) he ing sold out and and didn't stick to his principles so i've no time for him,



if he stuck to his guns instead of talking to his brother and continued on the path of keeping his band , he'd still have my respect.



Bullet in the blue sky wasn't too bad though.

With the drummer i'm comme ci comme sa, stay, go, not bothered.



Why doesn't Moran just hire a marching band like the yanks have at their games

Never been a fan of the drum. No offence to the others, Mather especially as he's imo the better of the 4, but it was better with Geordie/Andy, they had a better understand of what songs to start and when and best way to get the atmosphere going.



As for playing during pre-match entertainment. I don't care. I dont go to watch a random person sing over a backing track or some cheerleaders.
