Yes it was a terrible atmosphere, but putting it solely down to the fact that there were no drums there is just ridiculous. We were playing Catalan Dragons, when has there ever been a great atmosphere at a Catalan Dragons game, unless we are playing in Perpignan?

So you don't agree that their would of been a better atmosphere with a drum banging this afternoon?

What is this all about?

Are you seriously suggesting we would have won if there was more of an atmosphere?

maybe if you had won a game you would all have expected to win easily then you wouldn't have needed a drum?
see you on friday with or without your drums

Drums can be alright, as long as there at least 20 yards away from you. Also there usually played by chavs aswell so that doesn't help.

Atmosphere has nothing at all to do with drums....

Its all to do with what a team is doing on the pitch.....

Do you remember the electric atmosphere at Wilderspool when Bradford were putting 80 odd on us??....Yes, the drumming was a major difference that day.

Or the night at Wilderspool, when we beat a fantastic Widnes side in the Lancs Cup semi??...No drummer that night. If only we had the drummer there might have been a better atmosphere for that one?

Anybody stand to the west side of the south stand? Some knob shouting at the players all game. Doing my nut in.

I think an away following lifts the fans much more than a drum ever could.

atmosphere was flat as a pancake today... due to no away fans.

I know that drums dont make an atmosphere, but whether you like them or not it certainly helps, and when there is a better atmosphere generally players perform better. In the Salford-Crusaders game last night, we had a decent set of drums for the first time (thanks to wire fans) which really did help. Yes us Crusaders fans always are in good voice to be fair, but the atmosphere wouldn't have been the same without the drum. In modern stadiums now it is hard to make an atmosphere and a better atmosphere is made in open stadiums when you are standing up, but you always need a drum!

not being funny but i was really considering not turning up today as where a few people because home games really are that bad now since we won the 2 cups because the south stand is now full of glory supporters that dont sing, good job we can still get a decent atmosphere away from home. we didnt bring drums today to prove a point of how it would be and was.

There was no atmosphere today for several reasons, two of which were that the team were flat on the pitch and there was no oppostion support. Often the crowd feeds off the away crowd and there was nothing there today. It's a sad time if we accept that we need a kid with a drum to create an atmosphere. I much prefer the sound of the crowd over the boring beat of a drum. Today there was neither for large parts of the game, but when we did get behind the lads it was loud and spontaneous, inspired by the action - as it should be.

doesnt matter if the game is bad i have been to games vs saints where the game has been as flat as a pancake but the fans got behind the team, this needs to be sorted as today was shocking
