WersYourMylerGone this is surely one of the main people of the new "barmy army"

True supporter - Thinks that drums are great, and without them we will lose.
Glory supporter - Thinks drums don't effect performance, but according to true supporters, want the team to lose by not having the drum.
NO so stop putting stuff on her what isnt true!!!

that must be wheelie entertaining.

some people like drums... some people don't.

personally i dont like them.... thats why i go in the west stand.

'stop banging those drums you nob heads'... is what i would say... each to there own though.

well said
lets all just leave this her it gone abit to out of hand argueing about f++ing drums
there gonna be there for most of the seasons so everyone will have to get used to them

You say that as if it started about something different...

at the end of the day the atmosphere was today without the drums, how the guy before can slag of headingly for there drums is beyond me as they get behind there team and it does have an effect, at saints away the commentators were saying how were the loudest fans in super league, i no they barely no what there talkin about but tbh i wanna keep that reputation

Not sure if anyone added this because I've not read all 5 pages but IMO what makes a good atmosphere is when we have a large section of away fans (we obviously never have against Catalans) which tend to compete and Wire fans react.
1 or 2 around us today did comment about the lack of drum also which does tend to get more fans chanting

Can't we get a massive drum, Im talking like a six berther and get '18th Man' put on it.

Awesome.

Can't we just wind about 13k of these up and release them on cue ?

There is only one
"SOUTHSTAND"and you cant match the true one for atmosphere

Only two things create an atmosphere. A good performance on the pitch and a good opposition crowd for banter. Personally I think if you have the two things above then you dont need "a drum". I dont mind the drum as on occasions it does get a little bit of noise going. Similarly I dont mind a Mexican wave. But the thing that both of those have in common is a) some people hate them and b) a good game with a good (split) crowd doesnt need them

i also got quite ed off at ppl applauding the dragons onto the pitch.

Makes no sense, they are the enemy, there is no mercy for the weak as my old karate sensei used to say to me.

The people behind me clapped the Catalans players on which was nice enough then called all of our players see you next Tuesdays for the rest of the game.

A Mexican Wave is synonymous with people who are bored by the game they are watching. It would have been very apt for the Wakefield v Warrington game earlier in the season. Due to the lack of atmosphere yesterday, I suppose it would have been apt for that also.

Same logic would dictate that you do not give applause for an injured opposition player being carried off.

we coud have done with the lad,who was in the red lion.He was smashed and singing Wire songs.He woud have got the crowd going.We dont need the drums imo.

not for long. bring in the diggers.

Six pages on about drums, and this post just about sums it up (or it would if I could read it). This is a Warrington Wolves Rugby League Forum, not a musical one. Those on about glory hunters (again) should realise that they are putting money into the club and without them the crowds would be half of what they are.

I'm perplexed how it's managed to reach 6 pages, to be honest....

...beat it, the lot of ya

Maybe for our game against crusaders we could borrow the percussion section from the manchester philharmonic to stand in the south! We could get some great drum beats going along with cowbells, xylophone, woodblock, bongos and even clash cymbals. Maybe the crusaders fans could bring a welsh mens choir with them whilst the people in the east stand bang on tambourines. Yes im being ridiculous but so is the guy that so enthusiastically thinks banging a sodding drum wins us games. I personally think the atmosphere was crap on sunday but im still glad the drum never started.

We need an anthem, a great, slow, hairs on the back of your neck standing anthem that is ours.
Saints have the slow 'when the saints go marching in' yawnion has 'sweet chariot', liverpool 'ynwa'

We need an awe inspiring anthem that is easy to learn, and sounds amazing when all the people join in.
That's what i've always wanted to come out at Wire.
Songs like 'just can't get enough' are naff. Drums are a bit small time for me, they don't irritate me like the do with a lot of posters but i'm i don't miss them when they aren't there either.
