Are you that close to the south stand fred when your filming ?

As long as the Leigh fans remain drum-free then I think it just shows we have that degree more class.

Unless, of course, it was the drummer that got them noticed and invited into SL?

I feel the same JC, anything to create an atmosphere, I wouldn't want one in the Leigh end, but the Widnes drummer didn't bother me.

I had best leave my drum at home on Thursday then Matt.

yes in their clumping great ballet shoes

The atmosphere it creates is good and is whats missing at other home matches so i say bring on the drum Widnes !!!

Box number 4 opp 20m line so yes too close

Ear muffs Fred ?

I have my headphones on but still........

Ban the drum, good idea! Let hope the Club and LSV do so!
I'd ban all the blaady drums at matches as they are annoying.
Bring back the rattle!!!

Had to laugh, he was banging his drum like mad when the 'Points machine of the Championships' Sir Mick Nanyn was awaiting to take his conversions.
He was either a new fan or has a short memory from when Mick was at Widnes as he was starting to flag by the time he took his run up after a long preperation



Think he gave up after our 5th or 6th try

Says in LW Ricky will be seeing a specialist this week but Basil is expecting good news in relation to Robbie not having to have surgery.
Both won't be in contention for thursday (Paul out for a few weeks yet and no news on Ricky)

The drum has helped us to create an atmosphere, especially when playing at championship level, wasn't so keen on it in the super league days. Bloody annoying when you are sat only a few rows in front of it though!

It's annoying being at the other end of the ground from it mate.

Fair play! The drum can be most annoying in smaller crowds I think and matches with less atmposhere, the drummer insists on still banging away to himself which can be fairly irritating.

Only joking mate if it helps the atmosphere i don't mind, not in the North Stand though.

Agreed, anything that can help the atmosphere should be a positive really especially for sky games. Really looking forward to it now, hoping for a good turn out from both clubs and to put on a good spectacle for sky.

Maybe one of the sensible Widnes fans (there are one or two!!

) will do us all a favour and put a fekkin' knife through it!!

We don't allow knifes in the LSV do we Walt.

They could do it on the bus, on the way over!!

As long as they leave the knifes on the bus when they have done the job Walt.

Some folk might think I have a problem with drummers [iper se[/i - nothing could be further from the truth.....I'm a big fan of any skilled percussionist.

But therein lies the problem - the 'drummer' that the Widnes fans let in with 'em has about as much sense of rhythm as a pregnant Catholic!!

Wasn't the mad drummer one of the hundreds doingn the W***n walk by the fifith or sixth try?????????

Thought he was still trying to distract Nanyn, on the late conversion attempts? Or perhaps his earlier efforts were still banging in my ears!
