Yeah i have nothing against trying a Drum either, just hope the club are making it easy for people to move into these new areas where the plan is to sing, also if you stand up are you going to get threatened to be thrown out by a steward?

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Out with the DJ and on pitch interviews. I sense a window of opportunity at half-time:I can only play the recorder
Have Spurs got, or looked at, a standing section ?
The one at Celtic park really helps with atmosphere.

Away fans? I'd lock them in the underground car park.
As I've said before, the atmophere in the 15 minutes before the teams emerge is ruined by the over-intrusive, over loud, domineering P/A. We have no chance to build an atmosphere because we have to sit/stand passively consuming a load of corporate videos with ear-shattering audio. You can hardly talk to the person next to you, let alone sing & chant.
Levy needs to realise that if he wants atmosphere and passion he needs to literally allow the fans their voice in the 10 minutes before kick off. The current system puts us on the back foot right from the start, because the away fans are going to sing like cunts anyway.
I don't know why I can't have my concession for my seat, I don't want to sit anywhere else!
the bottom half of the south stand is safe standing. Still only get a few singing near me though despite everyone standing.
Yep full of tourists mainly emanating from USA and South Korea with a few season ticket holders dotted between them
Possibly need to make that more of a singing section. For some 20 odd years now I've been a StPauli fan.
I organised a trip to a St Pauli game for about 25-30 Celtic fans, and I think this played a part in the creation of "The Green Brigade"
There are those that have issues with ",The Green Brigade" but they certainly help when it come to atmosphere.
Three Blind Mice might go down well , you never know .I can only play the recorder
I’d be in favour of only being allowed to sell 2-3 games a season max or you have to move to another area.
I guess you could start taking season tickets off anyone who doesn’t attend more than 80% of games. But that won’t solve the issue I don’t think.
I do wonder how many keep up the season ticket to ensure their seat for 5 or 6 prime games per season.
About a third of the season ticket holders near me seem to only turn up for the big games
Once again
I've experienced this so many times when I left the house and was already electrified on the way to the stadium!
The walk through the city to the train station and then to the stadium was filled with pride because you were wearing your jersey, your scarf, your cap!
Arrived in front of the stadium, I felt the energy that emanated from "us Frankfurters" and was proud to belong to this club!
Even without complex choreographies, the stadium can "crackle" when the curve (I'm sitting on the back straight, which this season has been given the proud name "Jürgen Grabowski Grandstand") starts to sing and the players warm up!
Loud whistle when the opponents enter the square!
And then at kick-off it's so loud that you can't hear what you're saying (the Wolfsburg goalkeeper scored an own goal with a team-mate because - as he said in the interview - you couldn't communicate because of the volume of the Eintracht fans on the pitch) !
There is no mood when the curve has decided on an annoying continuous singsong that has nothing to do with the game!
But the strong support rubs off on the team, just as a strong game (the will to win the game) rubs off on us fans!
With this in mind, I'm looking forward to my Eintracht's first home game against DARMstadt on August 19, 2023 at 5:30 p.m. CET!
And just as proud - after a good language training - I will drive to the airport in Frankfurt to come to London, so that - once in a lifetime!! - saw White Hart Lane and my second great love Tottenham Hotspur FC!
It just makes me proud to stand behind these two clubs!
Greetings from the closed department

It’s no different in the east upper where I sit.
From a survey apparently.
Thankfully it's the far corner opposite from us. I wouldn't want a drum going off next to me all game as I fear for the drummer's safety.
Used to love when the drummer got the old 'native American' drumbeat going, with 30K fans (minus the West stand of course) chanting "Yids" constantly in the old ground. It really came across as intimidating. It certainly got the East stand rocking , which was where I used to sit (not that we did much sitting).
As long as his repertoire is varied, and he gets THAT chant going every home game, I don't see anything bad about it.
Having said all of that, if you want a rocking atmosphere, it's what happens on the pitch that's the best generator of that. If we'd had a drummer banging away last season, he'd have been hung from the Skywalk shortly after Christmas!
It’s mildly frustrating- we kind of have a bit of a community but it has understandably got worse post covid.
That first one really got the blood pumping didn't it? It was like a war chant.
Followed by someone screaming "who let the Yids out" as we all left the ground, with thousands on the high road shouting "who, who, who let the Yids out!"
Happy days.
