No James Brown or any goal music!

Clubs with Tom Hark would be instantly relegated if it were up to me. I'm looking at you, Wigan and Wolves.

Drums, bit annoying sometimes.

Not sure about Jay Jay appearing on the big screen, doesn't hurt anyone but it's a little strange.

The Drums are an easy target, but to be honest, it would be like sitting in a library without them. I daren't move in my bit of WSL

Still getting dirty looks for daring to join in singing?

True. The drums remind people to make some noise, which is a good thing.

Maybe someone could have a word about the "cheat" thing. Sometimes it looks like they've just fallen over because you've blinked and missed what happened.

I've said it before the drums are terrible! They only know two chants that get behind the team (we're the one and only wanderers & Wanderers on repeat) then theres the shocking "cheat" drone! They do my head in and are killing off any creativity for fans to get new chants going or even beltin out the auld classics! i say sack em.

Yeah, but would they? From the evidence I've seen, it's a rare and joyous day when a Reebok crowd pulls together to belt out anything, and that's from before the drums...

Drums are wonderful. But there's a big difference between playing them and banging them.. That said, I was in the North Lower at the back end of last season, about twenty feet from the wallopers and I have to admit it was they that got the crowd going and raised the atmosphere time after time.

I think we need a theme tune, like Chelsea have the liquidator!

Back when I had a local team to support, we had drums too. But it was very well coordinated and there was a specific rhythm and pattern for every chant/song. Sometimes, you knew which chant was coming up just by hearing the drum pattern shift. There was one bloke from our group who bought a drum and tried playing but his rhythm was off and everyone made sure he didn't play.

So when done properly, it's a great addition.

Was unfortunate enough to be on a train with Stoke fans on the way to the game, and they had a fair old repertoire:

"We've won it two times, the autoglass trophy, we've won it two times"
"Should I be City? Should I be Vale? Here's what she said to me: "wash your mouth out son, and grab yourself a gun, and shoot the vale scum"
"Delilah" zzzzzzz

Been a while since our illiterate bunch of seat chuckers come up with something

That Autoglass song is originally Wigan's.

And the second one has been around for yonks. Loads of teams have a version.
In a world that has decided
That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.
