here we go yet another thread on cherry and white slating the young people at the back of the south stands, so far we've had idiots, thick so and so, ed up little scroats.
Seems to me when some threads are created theres a group of posters just waiting to have go at them.( For the record i am in my 30's and sit at the back of the south stand ). Generally they are well behaved and whilst occasionally there can be drunkenness it is not the norm. By exagurrtaing their behaviour only shows yourselves as over the top.
Without the drum the atmosphere at home games would be very flat, notibly the last home game for one. I do agree that at times there are a few, by my counting 2 in south stand, 1 in East ( as it sounds). Generally i think the quality of the play is acceptable, and they have improved in week on week this season. The band at Leeds/internationals is great, we (myself and daughter) would love to see that at home games. My vote is for Yes we need the drums.

No, I'm in my 30's too and have loved vocally supporting Wigan since my days on the Popular Side. This has nothing to do with Southstanders or young uns'. It's about the drums and nothing else. They murder the atmosphere. Absolutely kill it.
Atmosphere is more than an obsession with hammering out an out of time beat to Vindaloo that takes half an hour to get to the bit before folk shout 'Warriors' FFS I've nearly fallen asleep before that bit. They are cringeworthy. |

Stay away from them lads. We have them and they're very cringeworthy. I think you do a good job at present creating an atmosphere.

Do you not agree that there would be less atmosphere at home without the drums?
The atmosphere at home is terrible not because of the drums but because no one joins in. The away fans do! |

| Out of time. They just hammer at it with no rhythm, typical of most young lads to be fair  |

You can sort of, tightening the skin will change it a bit.
but also, they're all out time and it sounds awful. |

No, we dont, please get rid. Cheesy, out of tune, and they ruin every good song weve ever made up because the 15 year old chav bangs it at 100mph.
