We don't need a drum
Just noticed on Twitter "the cricket field end" trying to do something about the atmosphere at the Turf.
A drum?
The last thing we need IMO.

Re: We don't need a drum
New, original songs which everyone can get behind are required.
A trumpet would be better than a drum. A bloke in Athens did a good job.

The pace of the songs is the problem, so people tend to give up with the constant battle with the speed singers.
Somethings needed to dictate the pace, what that is who knows.
The dross on offer does nothing to help, but it's a 2 way street.

Re: We don't need a drum
I’ve always been dead against drums at football, but if you noticed the pace with which the Huddersfield fans sang at a Turf Moor they were singing to the beat of a non-existent drum. Why? They have one at home which has got their fans singing their many songs to a rhythm, and now it’s learned at what speed they sing.
We need something, because our young fans sing like they’re on amphetamines. Nobody has time to join in before the songs are finished. We have lost the art of singing at Burnley, and any new songs are usually shouted down by naysayers.

Yes I know most are but we seem to change the words to words that don’t actually fit/make sense.
The “Yaya/Kolo” chant that we changed to “Vokesy/Ingsy” then “Vokesy/Andre” and now “Vokesy/Vydra” is scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
And no I can’t do any better, before anybody asks

Join a choir if you want to sing. I don't understand why people can't just go and watch a game without the need to sing or shout.

The simple thing is 90% of fans don't want to sing at football in general. 50% sing when a goal has been scored or winning an important game.
Speed singers have been around for as long as I can remember (late 80s).
There’s a rendition of Jimmy Mullen’s Claret and Blue Army at Wembley on YouTube that is as fast as anything on the Turf these days.

How to tell if your support is crap -
Do you have a drummer
Yes = crap
No. = not crap
Also we rarely use to sides whose supporters have drummers

Re: We don't need a drum
There isn't a chance in hell that 90% of anywhere is populated by people 'coked up' let alone the CFS in Burnley.
There is exgagerating and there is speculating and neither are anywhere near realistic. 90%

He got a huge cheer and stood up and took a bow... comedy gold

The atmosphere at Huddersfield, Leicester, Palace, Brighton and every other ground with a drum is where they get behind their team for 90 minutes win or lose.SalisburyClaret wrote:How to tell if your support is crap -

Those that don't always seem to have another gimmick or proper club anthem where young and old alike regardless of gender sing along.
Ever wonder why Turf Moor is rarely selected for Sky/BT?
A couple of tuneless renditions of 'We hate Bastards' does little to enhance the overall perception of Burnley.
It's not just about the football, selling the the Premier League product includes banging drums, waving flags, tapping sticks together. Something most other clubs and supporters have grasped and embraced.
Even the novelty of the Cricketfield stand has worn off and very little is being generated there in most games unless we are winning.

Re: We don't need a drum
I am in the camp that atmosphere is generally created by what is actually happening on the pitch. We are well shut of Coyle obviously but during 2008/9 with crowds of 11000 / 12000 but with football played on the front foot the atmosphere was probably the best it as been since we went all seated at Turf Moor. I think the atmosphere at the moment generally reflects what is on offer.
Hopefully we can get Defour and Brady back firing create a bit more and I think the atmosphere will lift a bit.

Not playing your full strength team in cup competitions normally leads to an exit.

Absolutely right the atmosphere was great then - everyone was behind Coyle and importantly he had a very simple chant- part time singers won't join in with songs hey don't know the words to.
Keep it simple, keep it loud and ban clappers drums and other stuff
Re: We don't need a drum
Maybe, just maybe, let some chuffin atmosphere build up before the game by not blaring out some crap music at volume one million before the game and during half-time. Before some games I can barely hear the bloke next to me. And it seems that the bigger the crowd (i.e. more chance of atmosphere) the more they crank it up to prevent anything like a chant breaking out.

Re: We don't need a drum
A drum! Ffs we’ll be having them clappers next , The CFS is a bit poor tbh , a tiny section that sounds loud when you’re in it and barely carries round the ground . It ain’t the lads themselves ( far from it)it’s because it’s sucked most of the JH singers out so it’s totally isolated ,

Re: We don't need a drum
I also agree the big factor is what is happening on the pitch. Even the most enthusiastic supporters would struggle against the playing style in games like Huddersfield.
Attacking football gets the crowd excited (louder) which leads to an effort on goal, which then leads to a song, because we our showing our pride and appreciation.
Simple equation really.

Re: We don't need a drum
2-3 years ago I’d have thought you were mad. Now though I think you’re right. I loud banging noise from someone who can keep a rhythm will force singers to sing in time to the boom, it will slow the songs down, make them last longer and will be infectious.ClaretMoffitt wrote:honestly i think we desperately need a drum, the difference in vocal levels when people bang the back of the CFS compared to when they don't is massive.

Re: Facebook Drum Debate
I'm not opposed to it as it MAY help to improve the atmosphere if it controls the beat of the singing, however I expect that the speed singers would just ignore it and so their own thing anyway at which point it just becomes a massive annoyance and sounds crap. Just like when England play and the fans race through the anthem so they are massively out of time with the singer / music which really aggravates me.

Re: Facebook Drum Debate
Anybody taking a drum to a football match deserves being battered with the sticks and when unconscious, having them inserted up their corn hole.
