Apologies I realise my wording was a bit confusing.
They banned drums completely, the Bayern game was just the first game that this rule came into effect.
The first team to bring a drum after the ban was Dortmund last month, which brought back every problem the ban had solved.
Yes we would have heard itNo its time for us to actually come up with a way of creating some form of atmosphere that competes with it , had Hamburg brought a drum all those years ago would we have heard it?, no because back then we actually made some noise , current fan base are incapable of making an atmosphere and constantly look to blame other things as to why , split tiers, acoustics and now its the drums fault , need to look internally for the solution.
Had to stand in the cold for 25 minutes waiting to be searched, barely got on for kick off and the away fans can do just as they like, cannot sell unused kids tickets to fellow blues, the hassle is just not worth the cost and expense anymore, just not enjoyable
bollocks , nothing Hamburg could have done that day would have drowned us outYes we would have heard it
Its highly likely that if Hamburg fans had a drum then its would have been more difficult for City fans The constant banging disrupts any chance of getting the atmosphere going

The drum may have been searchedAsking to take hats and unzip coats whislt letting them arses take a drum in is a pisstake
Compromise from the “No drums” rule is one drum? It’s not like you need TWO drums for a small away end, but then logic and the application of common sense is not a strong suit with some officious cunts!They only allow one drum, that is the compromise.
Just found this:how do you know? I was there and cant recall one way or the other
There shouldn't be a compromise, it's our ground we make the rules, whether they like it or notThey only allow one drum, that is the compromise.

The atmosphere was good against Napoli and Dortmund. Better than most PL matches. Last night the team gave us nothing at all.Even without a drum the Ultras would outsing us on the evidence of last night's pathetic home support.
Our CL crowds are not the same as our PL crowds. If the club banned drums again, like they did previously, it wouldn't make a difference to our non existent support on a CL night.
The atmosphere generated by German fans was better without drums.It's part of European football culture and at least they make some noise and get behind the team. The alternative is away fans chanting about libraries and asking where we were in 1998, whilst the home 'fans' give them a reason to sing about libraries.
