Do that and you can then sing soprano to back up the drums.

I dont have a prooblem with the drums half the time if someone doesnt start with the drums ppl dont sing at all then the atmosphere aint there. personally im there to watch the game and sing along when the songs are going so the lads can hear as we all know they love the noise solomana was waving his hands for more noise at the leeds game. anyway my point is drums are gonna be around wether we like it or not so may aswell just get used to it no point in argueing or refusing to join in with the songs because off it cos that aint encuraging the lads by standing silent

Most likely not which is why i have never tried. My vocal support is good enough for me.

bouncy bouncy.... putting it out there

Already got headache thinking about the bloody thing,been hammered all game.

Maybe the drums will help us ward off a buttock-slashing from the terrifying Ultras of the Curva Meat & Potato.

poor Sam, he does gets picked on

I suppose if they have their hands on their drumsticks they can't also have their hands on alcohol...

What a silly little boy you are.

Seems there is a definite backlash forming against the drums. I think one of the problems is the people who didn't really mind them without being for them are probably getting a bit bored of them now, so when they start up, only a minority are joining in with them so the songs quickly peter out.

I guarantee - if the drums are left behind on Friday, there will be no problem with atmosphere.

You don't need drums for atmosphere just someone with a big gob to start things off.

was there drums last year? that was great atmosphere there singing all through the match. it strange at the hj it seems that alot better atmosphere at away games? anyone got any reason for this??

usually the case for any sport and support. United's away support is brilliant but the home support is often poor.

ain't old trafford packed every game???

yes it is, doesn't mean that 75,000 of them sing all game every week, this is about atmosphere not crowd numbers.....

I personally think that drums take away credibility as noise makers xD Your away support is great and proof that you don't need it. At the HJ though, Wire fans definitely have a reputation of being unable to sing without their drum.

I suppose a little bit of constructive criticism for the young lads now doing it is that everything is done too fast, we cant sing along because we cant keep up. If you sing whilst your banging it you may realise what I mean as the end of the songs are 200% quicker than the start.

You also have to understand whats going on in the game to a certain extent and get a feeling for when people will join in. A break, big shot or a fight will always get people ramped up so get it going as soon as you see that.

My honest oppinion is that in the current form the drums are actually preventing an atmosphere.

Eh, if that's the case why did you and Hawley bring them out of retirement at Widnes last year?

Drummers (Attention seekers) please no



If you want to wind up the Ultras just rip a few seats out and chuck a couple of flares.

you volunteering Yed.

If you can hear my voice from Acton (i'm working) then i'll take it up on a permanent basis.
I've just signed up to mobile tv on orange so hopefully i'll see it on there and shout accordingly

At saints the drums were really good and everyone was sing. There are fast but they will improve over time. At wigan there will be a drum weather its the young kids or mather who bring one we all know the atmosphere will be great what ever the result. So stop thinking about the drums and who's banging them just think about singing your heats out at the DW and cheering on the mighty wire.

COME ON THE WIRE

Don't be so hard on him, Teesside. He's like Dr Johnson compared to some on here
