And what's he supposed to do about it?! Start a big sing-song?!

Birmingham city have an area of the ground purely for those who want to make a racket. works for them

I don't see there being any point at Wigan. People who want to make a racket at the JJB sit together and do so already.

Not really, half are in the south stand and half in the east, I sit in the east but I think everyone should sit in the same area then we can make an atmosphere. So many times are the away fans louder than us.

The only time we have a good atmosphere is when we play well or if we are playing saints or something has happened with DW.

Yes, but practically-speaking (and I don't know why I'm getting so embroiled in this

), you can picture the scenario now - the club designates some bit of the stadium as a 'noisy section' and then there are a load of moans from people who have to move their season ticket seat/pay more/sit near or with chavs/complaints from people near the "noisy section" that don't want to be/not having as good a view...

More fuss and bother than it's worth!

That would only happen if you had it in the middle of the west stand.

The middle of the south and east are already pretty noisey and if you didnt want to hear any chanting you would not be sitting there.

do what other clubs do and cram everyone into the east stand, especially when its televised so it looks full.

close the west except for season tickets obviously and the corporate crowd.

so do we........its called a stage in the middle of the pitch for pre match racket by some local bands.

That would be a good idea.

You could put all the season ticket holders in there, and anyone who buys on the day gets them for the south stand.

i dint bring my drum because my son had been ill all week and i decided to come to the game on the very last minute so forgot it.might leave it at home for good not sure yet

has been the same in the south everytime there is no drum

to be honest, its sometimes annoying when you get the constant unrythmic banging but at other times it can be a great way to get the crowd going

Bring it and I will use it then

I think its time all fans scrapped drums. sounds embarassing, especially on the tele

Then there would be no atmosphere at all.

What about a Bassoon or a Tuba?

i have a kazzoo i could bring?

It would be good is a couple of 1000 fans brought Stylophones.

im sure i have 1 somewhere. we could do a children in need (or comic relief, whichever it is) and bring whoopee cushions

I dont need a whoopeeeee cushion

it depends, having one myself (in the south) im obviously biased but i do partially agree, too many drums can get a bit ott. Wernt it quins last year when there was about 6? That is when it sounds embarrasing, one in each stand is pretty good though.

I personally dont think that it makes a difference about a drum or not.
Its nothing to do with the jjb that there is no atmosphere its to do with US fans we only sing when we are winning or there is a big hit when we go down by a try its quiet we should all be getting behind our team from hooter to hooter.We should be giving the team our vocal support from the minute they step on the pitch not just when we go over the try line. Its the fans that make an atmosphere not a stadium

Well said, we are pretty poo at home most of the time (our fans I mean).

We should all whistle like Roger Whittaker !!

Someone could play Three Blind Mice (Lockers, Smith and LuLu) on the recorder

I've always found Binder to be great at getting the crowd going at away matches. We know away fans tend to be a little noisier and like their singing, and it seems to work. Remember the Quins game last year? Must have been twenty minutes of 'Top of the league, we're having a laugh!!'







As has already been said, it's the fans, not the stadium, that creates the atmosphere.
