leezyverpunk Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Let's get the Chaddy back to the way it was - silly, funny and most of all loud. At times last season we were in a library and it aint what I go for. My defence of the drummer was that he sometimes kickstarted the singers but if we can be in full voice without him, so be it!

oafc0000 Posted September 10, 2007 Author Share Posted September 10, 2007 Just under 100 people have replied to this post repersenting about 2% of the fan base....... By no means offical I bet that this is a repersentation of the overall feeling. Exit polls and opinion pools sample smaller percentages and they are usally good bets to the outsomes of elections!!! So I think this poll holds some weight. I put it to the drummer, if he reads this, or anyone that knows him, not to the bring the drum for a couple of games and see if the atmosphere is just as good or better. And if it is, never to bring it again!!! The introduction of a drum hasnt proved succfesful, Boundary Park is queiter then its ever been in my opinion. Time to stop brining it.

Diego_Sideburns Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I think the problem with the drum is either the drummer himself (not as a person but his skills) or the fact that he uses an inappropiate drum. What about having someone like this guy - in the corner between the Chaddy and Main Stand - perhaps sponsored by B & Q. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YEGjmad7dKI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guernica Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) Without wanting to get personal I get the feeling the drummer brings his drum more for self importance reaons than to improve any atmosphere. It should be thrown over the Chaddy End roof. Edited September 10, 2007 by Guernica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeylandLatic Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Tbh i would be all for the drum iff the guy had some rhythm and didn't keep speeding things up to a break neck speed so quickly and if he would learn to hit his drum a little bit quiter once he has got a chant started. That way the singing wouldn't be drowned out (which is the most important part) and the chants would go on much longer. The main problem imo has been that the songs are getting faster and faster and nobody can keep up and it results in just one guy banging a drum as fast as he can.

Good on you for your support of the Latics...BUT...sat near you at Carlisle and my ears were still ringin well after the game so have voted for a ban. There used to be a bugler some years ago who could only play one tune. perhaps you could take up buglin and try that. Bet your family will love me for that suggestion. Whatever ypur decision respect and KTF ...I was young once ))) Edited September 12, 2007 by eddyblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Good idea....I will re-create the vote after the game, or someone else can if they beat me to it.....use the same questions In truth the atmosphere has generally been rubbish in the Chaddy for the last 15 years or so, of course everyone isn't going to start singing on Saturday. I think the point is more whether you would rather hear what singing there is, or a random collection of thuds. As I've said before, if blue forty wants to help the atmosphere and if the drum is going to be allowed, then he should learn to play the bloody thing, and I don't mean learn in the ground.
