If I was a Tranmere fan I would be putting my foot through it.
Agree with that can't we just ban drums it's our ground

Actually spoke to Andrew Casson re the drum as match was starting as think when our crowd quiet at home givesxaway team a lift.He can’t see anything wrong with it and would like Barrow fans to make a lot of noise with one!Any likely musicians out there?Perhaps shop can sell ear plugs for rest of us lol.

As long as they beat it in the away end, it is not too loud for the rest of us. I must admit I didn't really notice them after a while( I spotted two drummers)

There you have it then, Didn't one drum get someones foot through it years ago. I wouldn't like to see the repercussions if we ever went down that tin pot road.

That will be the end of my support.

As for Conquisador's remarks, I stand at the Holker St end. Not for much longer it seems
Just say no to VAR :sentoff:

It's a football ground for God's sake. An idiot banging tunelessly on a drum isn't creating any atmosphere. When we left the ground on Sat he even crossed the road to bang the object at us. I had to hold someone back that took offence at that. I've only ever heard one person who could actually play one at a football ground. It was a snare drum so not too loud.

seemed to be able to get the 340 odd away fans singing to his tuneless drum beat, no bad that

he banged the object at you, how dare he lol

I wasn't bothered cos he was just childish but the man I dragged away obviously was . lol? :oops:
P.S An exaggeration about the 340 as many of those were in the stands and didn't join in any singing.

Bang On! Pardon the pun... :D

I totally agree - the place is like a Morgue.

We currently have the quietest atmosphere I've heard at the ground in 50 years of supporting the club.
Andrew Casson has obviously noticed too.

I believe some people don't want 'atmosphere' at Holker Street and are content to watch football being played in total silence.

To those who DO want and appreciate atmosphere - Andrew Casson has now given permission for drums to be used in the ground... so...let's see one of our own fans beating a Big Bass Drum soon...
Bring It On!
When we set sail across the seven seas,
There was Captain Dan and Billy Bones and me...
