It's time to ban drums from the Etihad

The only advocate is Cozy Powell.

They are EVERYWHERE in MLS.

It’s one of the reasons I’ve gone to precisely one MLS match.

Choreographed football fans are wank. Nothing but male cheerleaders. Leave cheerleading for the girls, at least the girls shake their pom-poms now and again.

Drum or no drums
You won't create a atmosphere when your team is performing that bad.

Yes. They’re making me not want to attend, they are that annoying!

We had a good few years without letting them in and CL nights were much more enjoyable for it.

Last two games have been ruined by the drum. Their bloke was raising his arms above his head and absolutely twatting the drum on every beat. I could barely hear their fans chanting over it, never mind any murmurs of our fans chanting.

I love a good atmosphere, but drums do not make them.

Sick of them. If they’re back for CL games, I think I’ll pull out of the Cup Scheme, I hate them that much.

I've no need to say anything. This post says it all.

What about half and half drums? ok?

Honestly think the same as I've gotten older. The whole "ultras" vibe kind of loses its appeal when you're in your 30s and you can see the little conductor at the front telling the chorus what to sing next. It's about as organic as McDonalds.

I really hate the incessant noise. It's not support it's just mindless drone. However, our support is even worse. Some City fans berate the club for adding some hospitality seats in the new North Stand but what do they do against Leverkusen? Just stand in stony silence for 90 minutes.

Any twat with a drum can beat it #nofkndrums

Drowned out by the drum and the coordinated idiots when any attempt was made

If the main singing section was in the North Stand it would be a lot easier for our fans to get the rest of the fans singing, if only we could ?

emailed the club asking for them to consider banning them If thats declined my UCL Cup scheme wont get renewed

Steward "You can't bring that drink in here unless you take the top off it"
Also Steward "Yeah, bring as many drums and drumsticks in as you want, they're fine"

It's a bit difficult to stitch pure silk and pig-skin down the middle and still get a decent sound.

The drum is apt because both teams are getting beaten quite often at the mo.

 

[SamBlue]

Nothing wrong with drums, it's the players who give feck all that should be banned.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

The first time they've banned the Drum was vs Bayern in the QF during the treble season.

I thought this was one of the best decisions the club ever made, and made European Nights far more enjoyable, and helped our atmosphere out massively. This is something that fans seem to have unanimously agree on.

Only City would take a decision as successful and well received as that, and completely reverse it.

Once again proof that the people in charge really are clueless.

Didn't they do it last season against Club Brugge?

 

[give it to gordon]

Can you still take in hair clippers ?

 

[TFC]

Put a free vuvuzela in the seat of every blue. That'll sort it.

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.

Its the annoying bang bang bang that is the reason to ban drums my head cant stand them
Yes its hard to compete with the ultras with a split away end and the lack of interest in UCL by "legacy fans"
