Some bloke took a trumpet (or some other brass instrument) to Walsall away once (Scott McGleish's comeback game I think) and had it confiscated by the stewards. How anyone can get away with bringing in a drum I have no idea.

Away games are a completely different scenario to home games though.

At away games the majority want to make noise and show their support, irrespective of the display on the pitch, as if we are an invading Shoe Army within enemy territory. At home games the majority (less the mid North and the extreme South West sections) prefer to sit on their hands not appreciating being awoken from their slumber in the relative peace and library quiet of the rest of Sixfields, unless the display encourages them to. I much prefer the atmospheric sense of belonging in attending away games. Is it a contributory reason as to why we are currently performing better away than at home? Both the management and players always mention how our 'outstanding' away following helps their performances.

When Leicester city provided clackers for all their supporters, they apparently improved the atmosphere then went on to become the champions of England. So anything that can improve our atmosphere like the drum idea is worth a try.

PNE were the first to introduce I believe...not to be seen at the Kingpower or Deepdale since!

They are often at the King Power still. I went to a pre-season friendly there this season and still got one!

For the one match against Burton I believe. Then one the season after can't remember who that was against.

How about using your trouser fly as a sort of miniature washboard?

Would be better if they realised that football songs are not a drum and bass tune that needs to get quicker and quicker with each verse.

Unlike our fans that seem to struggle with the timing of some really intricate songs like N T F C.
You have a good drummer it can help, if you have a bad one it can be awful.

The clappers in the promotion year were for Cambridge I think and was a pretty dire game.
Drums should be added to the list of things that get you a life time ban from football!

Done properly, a drum is definitely an asset. Unfortunately there are too many amateurs who have put people off the experience. Whoever was the percussionist at Scunny, using just the wriggly tin, did a good job in maintaining the beat in the right places and definitely encouraged and enhanced the atmosphere.

I've heard a few drums at games over the years and never once have I thought anything other than I hope someone puts their head through it. I do agree that rhythmical banging on the stand can be good though

Little puzzling but...how can you say they are 'often' at the Kingpower, stating you went 'once to a friendly'? Much of my family are Leicester...those that go will tell you otherwise about the frequency (and certainly use) of said silly implements!

I hear this getting (tiresomely) trotted out all the time! Maybe you can provide a league table of good drummers - starting obviously with the one armed guy from Def Leppard, Pete Best...down to Stevenage, Blackburn and Ringo Starr? Drums are a s***e utter embarrassment at footie...nowt to do with some percieved level of competant skill. End of!

To add, I know with consummate ease which fans in the National League South are the best for singing, in terms of originality, humour, variation and frequency of singing...Oxford City! Nowhere near the biggest fanbase, but the 15 or so of us who sing home and away (including down in Cornwall on Sat) have earnt widespread respect in that league...without the s***e generic "We're the ××××× boys making all the noise " bollox...and certainly, no drum required!
