Same rule at every ground.

and theyv put in the courier to take as many pictures as poss and send them in...

Perhaps we should all contact the Courier for a Press Pass. Or better still, tell them we're all with Lewis Outing

Amen to that!!

You'd all better bring your own collaspable stools sit on.
Anyway, I'll be there so if you see me give me a wave, for the camera.

Unlucky son...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hope its at the other end of their stand to us then

....although if anyone wants to do Corrie on the trumpet, that would bring back memories

If you don't want the drum, you could always quote this rule to the RFL and ask them to make it clear to the Stadium staff:

• The use of air horns, klaxons, whistles and any other item likely to cause confusion, annoyance or nuisance of any kind are not permitted in any part of the ground

I personally don't mind drums and wish we had one our selves.

let them have the bloody drum, we're bringing a giant gong! nah who cares we'll drowned oit out with oh hali hali

There have been a few this season that have caused massive confusion and annoyance with their use of whistles........

Laughton, Alibert, Childs, Fred Lindop........

If they need a drum to encourage them to give their team support well let them.(remember being at Odsal years ago when they played the Queen song, we will rock you hand clapping to tell their "new" fans when to clap!).. we dont need any gimmicks to get behind our team.
