RR Fan Letters: “I’d like to see a drum to help with chanting at Sunderland games, and here’s...

[Get Into Em]

I'd rather see it in action before saying yes or no. Our fans do sing 10x faster than they should like so it might help that.

This. Give it a trial, see how it goes. Would improve the atmosphere I think but every ground I've been to where there's a drum it's done my tits in.

Imagine banging a drum in the Jacksons to get the troops up for it, imagine having to cart it all the way to the SOL, @rocky can synchronise events with his megaphone whilst standing on a front row seat facing the hordes.

 

[Linus]

Drums, vuvuzelas, megaphones, and 1000db 90's techno kill the atmosphere.

 

[dangermows]

This. Why do we have to sing everything at breakneck speed?

When did it start. Remember when we used to sing Cattermoles song like this

Now its a rave.

 

[AlpineExile]

Who needs a drum when we have metal panels at the back of the stands that can be hit?

 

[buster]

Who is gonna play it

Anyone prepared to have his drumsticks inserted anally I would hope.

 

[Mowgli]

They did a poll and no won comfortably. If they introduce a drum then they're self serving rather than listening to what people want.

Well done for trying to inprove things...flags were great imo ...im open to anything ( if crap bin it) Wasnt sure about the flags but they were impressive and should get better as more donations roll in.To be honest i havnt come up with any ideas on how to improve the atmosphere(other than teling a bloke near me to stop twisting every game!)so fair play to those who are making strides( not the Chino variety)

 

[CraigyLee]

Have we had a drum before ?

 

[GK]

That is wonderful. I too live abroad and have a season ticket at a Bundesliga club. You haven't answered my question though.

I thought it was obvious, I've been to shitloads of matches abroad

 

[KNGHTHOOD]

Who is gonna play it

Trying to get Ringo Starr.

 

[Daffy]

No thanks
Selling the stadium name rights & taking on a fuckin drummer would be the final straw

 

[Blyth_Pirate]

Not keen on a drum, however, I think the megaphones quite a good idea. Can just imagine hearing the first line of we are the Sunderland boot boys crackling through the megaphone, and the massed ranks joining in. Would be quite unique as well, no other English clubs have introduced the megaphone that I am aware of.

 

[two left feet]

When is it being introduced?

I absolutely f*cking hate drums and other sh*t things to create an atmosphere.

Want atmosphere, have a team that plays well.

 

[6inarow]

Lets have an open mind here, why not try one and see if it does or doesnt improve the atmosphere? I would prefer to see a couple of trumpets in the crowd to get some songs going like

 

[rey mysterio]

I reckon a guitar like Mad Max would be better.

 

[Steeeeed]

They did a poll and no won comfortably. If they introduce a drum then they're self serving rather than listening to what people want.

Who is "they"?

 

[phillips10]

Really? Supporters known for the Roker Roar reduced to banging a drum?

 

[Fred Army]

Drums can fuck right off.
And then fuck off some more for good measure.
