Don't agree at all

the drums are a pain and take away the choice of songs and the spontaneity of the singers
When I hear that bass drum thump out like the start of the 'funeral march' I know it's going to lead into Balmy Army or ' lalala CITY'

Tunes like 'Come on City', ' You are my cardiff' ' The greatest team in football' and 'Pick and Shovel' have been put in the dust bin because they don't fit in with the steady beat of a bass drum.

And the spontaneity has virtually gone. Vince dictates what we sing and when we sing it

We'd have a much better atmosphere without the drums

And don't start bringing up the REBRAND, ok they haven't changed colours but they have had and still have a crazy owner. Get off your arses and support the club!


Leeds have lost a lot of support since their prem days. Elland road is rarely full these days.

I know and I agree with you on that,BUT Our new fans don't sing the great old songs :cry:

So a drum is better than nothing.

Leeds have been a far bigger club than us playing at a far higher level for a lot longer than they have been below us in the league. Their record of success and that tradition means that they have been able to retain a high level of fan support. We have generally been a club operating in the second tier , with a lot more seasons below that level than above it.Generally they therefore NOT been " more shit" than we have.

As for lemmings
1) how many have ever been at sea
2) how many have ever jumped from a ship
3) how many have ever jumped from anything?

Don't agree with your comment. The so called New fans will never learn anything with Vince in charge as they won't get a chance to
