    Yeah it was but that's going back a bit and he must be getting on a bit age wise now.

    My brother says we were a couple of rows in front of the drummer at the play-off final and the noise really, really annoyed him. I was so pumped on adrenaline and focused on the pitch, I don't remember the drum at all.

    Unpopular opinion:

    I don’t like the drum. I think it’s muggy and embarrassing.

    Sorry, no offence, just my opinion.

    Actually really enjoyed seeing the tweets of all our fans singing at Kings Cross yesterday. Loud, giving it some welly but never looked like it was spilling into the scummy scenes you got at Millwall y’day. Would’ve loved to have been in amongst it

    I understand where you’re coming from and some would say a bit palacey but they actually make a decent noise as painful as that is to say and I like it when we make a bit of noise and if that means the drummer waking up the living dead Charlton fans to get em going , I’m all for it

    I remember a match where there was no drummer for the first 10 minutes, but when he started the atmosphere ramped up 100%

    Did they ever have any problem being allowed to take them in to away stadiums? I just assumed (because there always seem to be a list of do's and dont's) you might need some advance permission

    Advance permission I believe.

    No problem at all, but honestly you don’t need to thank me. It’s an internet forum, it’s about giving opinions.

    Muggy?

    It’s the sort of things Palace do to drum up (pun intended) the atmosphere. Maybe muggy is a bit harsh, but I prefer all out singing from the fans.

    I think QPR away years ago they had a problem getting in, stewards were jobs-worths iirc.

    If we were the type of fan base who could create an atmosphere without a drum and could sing songs, rather than generic chants, I’d agree that I would not want them.

    But we’re not and hence we do need them to help things along most of the time.
