Drummers required...DRUMMERS

[GetIntoEm]

can we just bring back tom hark, atmosphere has dipped since those days

[DCWat]

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.

I can see the drummer with their head inserted into their drum after about ten minutes!

[ClaretTony]

One of the drummers roles:

Keep a beat during the game to keep the fans engaged and excited

My thoughts exactly

[jedi_master]

I cynically exhale whenever I see a drummer at an away ground, and it’s so many of them these days. Chesterfield have one and the thought of Turf Moor sounding like that regimented garbage that pretends to be a spontaneously good atmosphere makes me feel ill. It’s manufactured rubbish.

There is no scientific analysis required for understanding the currently crap atmosphere at home games - it’s because we’ve already grown accustomed to being pummelled heavily and the teams heads are dropping as soon as we concede, the fans are doing the same. It will naturally improve as performances do. That’s the only difference between last season and this, we didn’t need a drum when we were winning, surprisingly. There have been a great many problems with the games at Turf Moor this season but the lack of a drum is somewhere between ‘pre-game parachutist’ and ‘Chico’ on the list.

[ŽižkovClaret]

Honestly, i'd rather defecate into my hands and applaud

[IanMcL]

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blatherwickstattoo]

Absolutely embarrassing and Tin pot. Used to mock that toothless , Lonsdale slip on wearing inbred at deadwood a few years ago.

[Sheedyclaret]

A big fat no from me what a dreadful idea would probably give up my season tickets if this gets passed

[CoolClaret]

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!

^ basically this

Guarantee most people complaining also complain about the atmosphere and do absolutely nothing to help create and atmosphere.

[northeastclaret]

Why don’t the people making this decision, ask themselves why didn’t they do this last season? The answer should be obvious.
Also VK has always said Burnley is an intimidating place to come and wants to maintain that.

Considering what’s happened on the pitch this season the atmosphere has not been too bad and will return to last seasons level once the matches become more competitive again.

If someone was to bang a drum when 4.1 down to Chelsea there would be thousands queuing to ram the drum stick where the sun doesn’t shine.

This is a total misreading of what Burnley fans are about , a couple off tough challenges is all that was needed in the past when the fans were quiet.

There’s me thinking you were a synth bass!

[ClaretTony]

Vincent Kompany said make it hell, Burnley FC said we'll have a drum instead.

[daveisaclaret]

I'd love to know what a "competitive" salary for the role means

[Minimoog]

Numan fan....

[jedi_master]

To be fair, that sounds like Hell to me.

[Boss Hogg]

Can’t say drums would bother me really. Surprised so many are against it. Tin hat on.

Maybe we can ask 'the powers that be' to meet us half way and setup an official supporters band, just like the awesome England one. It will be great to have Rule Britannia, our No Nay Never anthem and Rule Britannia played over and over again throughout the 90+ minutes. It will enhance the match day experience, both home and away, and for those watching the match on TV. I think it will be an absolute banger.


By the way, I might not be entirely serious.

[ElectroClaret]

Noooooooooo
Terrible idea.

[1989_claret]

Saw this on X/Twitter which made me chuckle

[groove]

The atmosphere has been poor because we've lost the last 5 home games. Keith Moon couldn't sort that out.

[ElectroClaret]

Keith Moon couldn't sort that out.

[Herts Clarets]

I don't think even the late Neil Peart would be able to drum quick enough to keep pace with our speed singers....

[Clovius Boofus]

To be serious, it's the worst idea they have come up with since the takeover. Monotonous repetitive drumming, or something along the lines of that dreadful England supporters band, would be an absolute Turf Moor passion killer for me. I'd rather listen to the opposition fans chanting and bantering throughout the match, than put myself through 90+ of mind-numbing torment.

[bobinho]

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…..

And of course, as if by clockwork, between me typing and submitting, up it pops with the usual tripe….

[Goody1975]

Next week they'll advertise for a bloke with a megaphone, at least the club won't have to install a gantry for them to stand on, they can use the redundant ones at the front of the JHU.

Win Win

Thing is, if we start making a noise when the drum is banged, then the club will see that as a success

Much like when they said we must like the goal music, as every time it is played, fans are cheering & dancing

[karatekid]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Nay Never

[sjb]

There are many things wrong with modern football and those bloody drummers are right up there. Nay, nay & thrice nay.

[Dark Cloud]

With my luck it'll probably be the bloody guy sitting next to me!!! Although on the plus side I'm guessing all those who sat next to Rocky down the years will take it all in their stride!!!

Now you’re talking, let’s have the goal music back as well as a Drummer. “Let’s be havin ya”

[Cirrus_Minor]

No, please no. It will be this then goal music next.

[StayingDown4Ever]

What is the latest with the fan advisory board? I contacted a couple of them a year or so when it first started with an issue I had and was promised they’d raise it but never heard back (despite chasing).

Are all the members younger people? The two I contacted were both under 30 and I see them on Twitter a lot and believe they do podcasts and I seem to see their pictures at various club related activity.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Perhaps flags like newcastle or Liverpool would be a better idea.

As another poster said perhaps a local band singing No Nay Never or something would be better suited

[ClaretAndBlue94]

Nothing worse than a quiet atmosphere at 2 down with a constant banging of a drum. Screams of tinpot.

[gandhisflipflop]

The ironic thing is that the speed merchants in the CFC stand are incapable of chanting at a slower pace, and to get a slower pace, a drum may be required.

[northeastclaret]

Just looked at the Job Specification for the drummer.Benefits include long service holidays and death in service benefit, I can make a pretty accurate guess on which benefit they will be taking advantage of first

[Vegas Claret]

the responses on this thread show how some don't see what is happening at the club or to the Premier League in the long term. The atmospheres at some stadiums is brilliant, the atmosphere under the culvert when they had the parade was brilliant yet nobody harnessed it and re-created it before games. You've seen the difference it made at Arsenal when they got organized.
The 'it's not Burnley' is the biggest heap of **** I've ever heard

Nobody can complain, it's self inflicted, we have one of the worst atmosphere in the division

Barring those that are off their tits - they’ll just be raving to the drum!

it needs to be in conjunction with. When the club gave everyone a scarf when we played Cardiff the atmosphere was incredible on all 4 sides of the ground. People get involved, it's been proven.

Like it or not, the PL is about image and razzmatazz - the one thing the Americans do better than any place on planet earth.
People need to get on board because it will happen either way

Absolute rubbish , just one example , at Old Trafford do you not remember them playing fan chants over the tannoy , will that be next?

[GetIntoEm]

where are the fans forum members who told us on here a few months ago they would keep people up to speed on new ideas?

surely this has been discussed?

[ClaretTony]

The atmosphere for the City game was described as electric by the Sky team - five defeats later.

[gandhisflipflop]

That’s why you don’t give it to the CFS

[Newcastleclaret93]

I think our away support is fantastic (arguably one of the best).

However I don’t think he’s far off in relation to our home atmosphere. The only team I think is worst is Bournemouth. Worst atmosphere I’ve ever seen.

In some respects, I do agree with that (whilst being massively against having a drummer, or the like).

I thought we were supposed to be getting organised, with the club liaising with fan(s) on creating a better atmosphere?

It’d be interesting to hear those fans (Macca?) views on this and whether or not they’ve discussed this sort of thing with the club. Any plans to create a better atmosphere don’t seem to be working so far - it’s been poor this season, even accounting for the poor results, which really is when you want the fans support even more.

[StayingDown4Ever]

I think Vegas Claret has spent a bit too much time over in America.
