Quote It makes me laugh that he still tries to bring the drum to away games. Can't he get it into his head that no one wants the drum there? It's as if it's an ego trip or something.
"Oh, look at me! I have a drum and the Leeds fans will go to MY (sh***y) beat!!"
The reason you get so much abuse on here LDB is because 1) You have no rhythm, and 2) You drum over the top of other pockets of fans trying to get the atmosphere going and actually kill the noise by doing this.'"
So untrue on so many levels. I've had tons of positive feedback from people at games who don't spend their time circlejirking their mates on southstander as many of the posters on this thread seem to. I don't want to drown out other chants, and have repeatedly tried to talk to members of the seeming 'in crowd' to co-ordinate. Those offers have been rebuffed. The simple fact is that it's difficult to get songs in time with a small group in one section of a stand, and so chants can rarely build up enough momentum to last for long. So we get a few 'we're Leeds Rhinos' and then they die out. However, the attitude that one group and only one group should be responsible for starting chants certainly does infect the 'in crowd' with their noted refusal to join in with chants started by 'the chavs'. Not only does this group put their own satisfaction above the rest of the away support, it has repeatedly taken to drunkenly abusing them for not joining in.
As for my musical skill, I'll happily agree I'm not the best drummer. But it seems to suffice for pretty much everyone apart from the small coterie of people who post on here abusing me.
And if it's a big problem of my accidentally drumming over other good chants, then why don't we all arrange to stand together, pool our resources and be friends? Or are the 'in crowd' far more concerned with standing apart from the rest of our fanbase than creating noise & getting behind the team?
