Title: Drums
Post by: Hale Alty on November 25, 2014, 10:41:22 PM
Are they now banned permanently? I do hope so

"In advance of Saturday's match, Kidderminster Harriers report that "Harriers fans will be housed in the Hale End terrace, the capacity of which is 1,434, as well as the Main Stand, which holds 1,133 supporters... On police advice, due to the ground being located in a residential area, no drums or other musical instruments are permitted in the ground".

That's a shame.....I've just bought a flute for 50p.

I heard a few rattles at Macc last night, which I thought was a nice touch.

I also heard a derogatory song suggesting that 'Altrincham is full of sh*t'.  I cannot begin to comprehend why they would think this of us; we would certainly never sing anything so nasty about a fellow cheshire club would we?

Not death rattles I trust ?  ;)

I'm still curious as to why this news comes via Kidderminster Harriers and is not put out directly by Altrincham F.C.

Drums are banned and this has been the policy for a while. One I fully support. However somebody let a drum banging fiend in vs grimsby therefore our club has probably given Kidderminster a gentle reminder given they have a drummer at every home game.

Or just have a dig at the club x

Some people aren't happy unless they're giving the club some stick.

I think we need to drum up as much support as possible

I'm not having a dig a the club at all, but thanks for the kiss, much appreciated. I'm sure we had a drummer at a game earlier this season. Unless these were inlatable fold up drums how on earth was someone able to bring one in if there's a ban in place? No wonder people find it so easy to bring smoke bombs in.

Club needs to stop brushing it's policies under the carpet IMO. Otherwise, away clubs' hardcore fan bass will be rolling up to stick it to us.

Bold font added for the sensitive souls on the forum who may think I'm having a dig.

I don't hate drums at football, adds a bit of atmosphere.

You're a bit behind the beat there sir.

Shouldn't Tympani the Best have contributed to this thread by now?

One thing's for sure, there will be re-percussions if drums are allowed in the ground this week.

This entire thread is a cymbal of everything that's wrong with the game. Maybe the smoke bombs were concealed inside the drum ?

I'm just glad that John Bonham - RIP - or Jason for that matter, were not Kidderminster fans.
