    Perhaps we should have a vote to keep either Positivity Dave and his cheerleader Mr ‘Drug peddler to children’ Herbert, or the drummer?

    I’d vote to keep the drummer every time.

    Is the third choice getting it ‘stooped’?

    It’s difficult to think of Rene as having a lack of imagination when you read his posts. Have you seen his poem?

    It wasn’t my poem: the work of an AIbot.

    Honestly, the drumming just kills the atmosphere — feels forced and annoying rather than adding anything.

    It’s not for me so I keep well away from the din. A vote would seem fair and would be an interesting thing. Can’t see it happening though. It’s not been suggested by ‘the right people / groups’.

    Why would I want to watch a lower league Spanish club with multiple drummers, in Alicante?

    Hercules CF of Alicante city currently play in the equivalent of L1:

    Seasons by EFL Equiv:
    Premier = 22 seasons
    Championship = 50
    L1 = 27
    L2 = 3

    the place where people go who have no imagination.

    North Lincolnshire = 328 square miles.
    Alicante province = 2,688 sq miles

    Scunthorpe population = 81,286
    Alicante city population = 358,720

    Highest point in North Lincolnshire = 168m
    Highest point in Alicante province = 1,559m
    There are over 50 peaks in excess of 1,000m in height.

    Alicante has over 125 kilometers of coast line with 89 (2025) Blue Flag beaches (highest in Spain).

    North Lincolnshire has approximately 40 miles of estuarine coastline.

    1,574 rivers run through the province.
    The longest is the Segura at 195miles.

    87 rivers run through NL.
    The longest is the Trent at 160miles in total length.

    An international airport, an international seaport, miles upon miles of glorious pristine blue flag beaches, hundreds of mountains, lakes and rivers to explore, Europe’s only desert sits in the province next door, I could even jump ship and go and watch Elche in La Liga if I so desired (17 miles Hercules to Elche stadium to stadium).

    Imagine… if you’re the sort who goes abroad and only eats pie, chips & peas, fish & chips, chicken, chips & beans washed down by John Smiths, who loves bingo, tribute acts, karaoke bars, happy hours, drag shows, British themed pubs etc – you can always go to Benidorm… imagine (yuk!)

    Nothing wrong with bingo, anywhere in the world. I’m really offended.

    Ask the Vof to bring it up with the club if a vote could be had. Lol.

    The matchday atmosphere at GP has never been as consistently “up” as it has been in the last two seasons – due in no small part to the drummer and his mates. Leave them alone, they’re doing a cracking job. If you don’t like it put earplugs in.

    I’m assembling an email group of our remaining away opponents’ CEO’s, and intend to be in touch to implore the banning of the drummer boy. The evidence and argument used in my narrative may bend the truth somewhat, as will the identity of the sender.

    And he contacts each and every club to ask if he can take the drum. A Very polite young man who does things in the right way.

    We all support our team in our own way and as long as its legal it should not be criticised but encouraged. I supposed the next whinge will be about the amount of Scunthorpe flags on display. Covering seats that somebody wanted to sit on!!

    But I don’t have a filter Ironawe.
    I’m polite with women when out, treat them as women, open doors, I’ll give up seats, take my turn in a queue and make sure your served first if your before me, push in then I’m not polite at all I just rear up straight away no matter how many times I’m told there’s a nicer way.

    Well it was full mainly off the walking dead back then, much like the Jason Threadgold stand now where I happily have a seat 😂

    Fair comment, but to live in a country that still endorses Bullfighting, throwing donkeys off churches, and dragging goats during religious ceremonies, surely implies your endorsement of such barbarism.

    Moaning for the sake of moaning. Plenty of areas around the ground to enjoy the game if it’s not your thing.

    IMO he’s added significantly to the atmosphere at home/away games which generally makes it a more enjoyable experience for all

    IMO being the significant part of your statement. This has been imposed undemocratically, activates my misophonia, and makes it a far less enjoyable experience In My Opinion.

    Aye, I don’t think it’s ‘moaning for the sake of moaning’ personally. I think more people than we perhaps realise are really against it. I’m happy to stand / sit well away from it, but I appreciate others who just may not want it full stop. If you take a look at what’s out there on fans discussion groups, outside of the Iron, a fair amount of football supporters want drumming in stadiums gone.

    Can we have this broken down into two groups please? Those that are eligible for their free bus pass and those who aren’t. Just a hunch but I have a feeling it would be heavily skewed in one groups favour!

    What you have there is a hypothesis. This may or may not be based on lazy stereotyping. There’s some guidance on how you might test it at the link. Good luck!

    Had my bus pass for almost 15 years. Don’t mind the drumming but also don’t mind the moaning. Each to their own. Pay your money and support how you want. UTI

    True but from comments on here and the perceived age of us that you can work out the other group wouldn’t be far behind.
    Young guns a massive yes, coffin Dodgers slim yes.
