I like it

English fans generally seem to envy the atmospheres in stadiums across Europe and South America where drums are permanent fixtures, yet when clubs try drums over in England it is seen as tinpot and embarrassing. Doesn't make sense to me!

It makes perfect sense. It's tinpot and embarrassing to have some sweaty fat git with greasy hair and rotten teeth constantly pounding a drum

Only got ourselves to blame as the atmosphere has been terrible at home this season

It would be bad if we did resort to having to get drummers in, but the atmosphere at games has been horrendous for most of the season.

A couple of the games about 25% of the crowd seemed to disappear before the 75th minute.

bobinho · Post by **bobinho** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 12:29 pm

Nope.

Not a positive move. Not a positive experience.

Bin it off please….

Do the majority of us want a drum? No.
Do we need a drum? Yes.

Swizzlestick · Post by **Swizzlestick** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 12:39 pm

They have one on Deepdale and it sounds shocking - any atmosphere that does build up is enveloped by a droning, monotonous drum noise. Not a good idea.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 12:44 pm

Think it’s a good idea. Atmosphere completely dead and songs constantly at 1.5x speed. Blackpool’s home atmosphere is class with the drum.

quoonbeatz · Post by **quoonbeatz** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 12:51 pm

There is nothing that is more tinpot and ruins what atmosphere there is, than a drum.

Absolutely no to this shitty idea.

ŽižkovClaret · Post by **ŽižkovClaret** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 12:52 pm

Nope. No place for a drum in a British football ground

Loyalclaret · Post by **Loyalclaret** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 12:56 pm

Hope it's positioned on the edge of the pitch and nowhere near me.

Bad idea

Herts Clarets · Post by **Herts Clarets** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 12:59 pm

What would create an exciting and vibrant match day experience would be not getting stuffed by the visiting team week in week out......

Paulclaret · Post by **Paulclaret** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:02 pm

Last season, the moron at Bournemouth thumped it constantly throughout the game. Their fans didn't sing or chant in time with it. All it was was a bloody awful noise!

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:02 pm

As someone who watches our games on TV I have been very disappointed with the Burnley home support this season. If you don't want a drum then my advice is to pull your finger out, up your game and make some bloody noise.

ClaretPope · Post by **ClaretPope** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:03 pm

An awful idea. The drummers sound awful on the televised SPL (eg Celtic and Rangers) matches. Definitely tinpot in EFL Grounds. Will Alan Pace be happy if the drummers were located close to the Directors’ Box? The idea was dismissed by fans when Darren Bentley consulted a few years ago.

Middle-agedClaret · Post by **Middle-agedClaret** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:04 pm

BAD idea.
An attempt to create something bogus and alien.
IMHO, of course.

Because they do it better than we do it. It's a cultural thing. Always staggers me no matter how many times I experience it, just now louder and more consistent support is around Europe. At the Turf we're lucky to get a couple of No Nay Nevers and the odd Oh Bur Na Lee.

My advice would be, if you dont attend games, you don't have a say on the atmosphere

I'd usually say no to this kind of thing but the atmosphere has been so poor this season that I think it's worth a try.

Heaven help us - please, please, please no drums.

I take it they didn’t get much support when they tried bringing in dancers to help celebrate goals.

CT hasn’t replied yet, he’s probably still at his weekly drum lesson this afternoon.

The atmosphere will get better if we pick up wins

The atmosphere will never get better with a sodding drum and we’re still not winning games

Hardly extensive market research but 14/14 saying no in here seems like a decent start…

Of course, we have to wait for the usual trolls to arrive…..

northeastclaret · Post by **northeastclaret** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:29 pm

Burnley fans already frequently express their views on this matter, no need for a survey. It is unanimous as far as I can tell ‘that they would much prefer to bang a woman than a drum’.

NottsClaret · Post by **NottsClaret** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:33 pm

This would absolutely be the worst thing to happen in the world right now.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:34 pm

Did the ‘Fans Advisory Board’ propose this idea? If not, why have they not been consulted and then been afforded the opportunity to do a survey on the desire for this? Isn’t that the point of them?

ŽižkovClaret · Post by **ŽižkovClaret** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:35 pm

They'd find the fans around them develop interesting ideas for where to stick their drum sticks

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:36 pm

As long as the Drummer is located in the centre area of the Directors Box I’ve no issue.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:37 pm

Think of a plastic club in the Premier League - Brighton - and then ask who our Director of Fan Experience supports.

Ightenhill_Claret · Post by **Ightenhill_Claret** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:44 pm

Say no more Tony!

Surely rather than advertising for 'optimistic drummers' (whatever that is!) then a poll asking if the fans want a drummer is the better step? Unless it's already been discussed at the fan board?

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:44 pm

Has this been consulted at all? I’d be more than a little surprised if a majority were in favour. It would surely have to have the green light from the ‘Cricketfield Leader’

It smacks of small club syndrome having / needing a drummer or bloody trumpet player to try and stir up any sort of an atmosphere. There must be a better way, surely!?

If we do go down this route, I’m only on board if everyone gets a clap stick, foam hand and Vincent Kompany face mask.

1989_claret · Post by **1989_claret** » Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:44 pm

If the club doesn't listen to fans before installing a drummer and it goes ahead then we will have to make our feelings known when it starts to be banged by trying to drown it out by booing or chanting that the drum can be placed up someone's backside etc.
