The Twelfth Man's Biggest Fixture Yet!

How many drums have we got :idea: I've only at last check got 2 arms so may need some help. Someone like myself with a keen ear for a note :lol:

I believe 4, Stagman has one in the club shop to keep himself amused when trade is slow ;) and Dazzler has 3 which are stored in the old Doughboys (club shop) timber hut. Dazzler could confirm.

Someone best make sure they all make it onto the coach then. Well maybe in the cargo hold not in with us as a 2 hour practice session on the way done may not be appreciated.

There is a small drum in the shop with a drum stick and as Paul says i think the other drums are in the doughboys old shop

[Dazzler]

Yes the other 3 large drums are in the doughboys old shop along with 2 or 3 drumsticks (last time I looked I could only see two). But then you probably don't want to take all of them.

I won't be there as still travelling, so best of luck to the lads, and have a great day!
Cheers!

Absolutely buzzing. 10 hour round train trip ahead of me but will definitely be worth it. Keen to stand in one area and replicate something like the Aldershot Setanta Shield Final Atmopshere.

Rather than the usual "Barmy Army" chant, is it not about time we changed it to "Starmy Army"?

Anyone remember a few seasons back on a certain Wycombe match? Looking towards the airwair, and see all their fans and the drum just continuously chanting chairboys, jumping together. It looked quite impressive and it drove them forwards to score, then they done it louder :lol:

How could we forget, I remember it very well, their fans providing the soundtrack to what was the beginning of the end of any tiny remaining hopes of staying in the FL, and all we could do in response was bring on the mighty Greg Pearson :roll:

TBH I'd given up as soon as Dagnall scored for Rochdale. When Kelly scored for us to take the lead against Wycombe I immediately said to my Dad 'we better start clock-watching', knowing full well that we were totally unable to score more than one goal in a game. Wasn't Tommy Mooney also involved that day and made up for the stick that the PDB gave him by scoring?

The match that I recall Wycombe fans making the most noise was not the one when we were struggling to retain FL status but the fixture in season 2003-4 when we were in Division 2 (now League 1). It was on the 6th September 2003 which we won 2-0 and the away following was 677. (From Formic/Noddy's invaluable RDFC's match records ;) ).

Well yeah of course Dagnall's sucker punch was the beginning of the end, if that hadn't happened and we had held out for just a minute or 2 longer then who knows we may have stayed up (Though of course could have been relegated the season after anyway!). But it wasn't completely the end, there was still a small glimmer of hope that as a football fan you always cling onto going into the Wycombe game, but as they went 3-1 up, that really was that.

[STAGMAN]

I remember us chanting Mooney your a W***** and him pointing to his watch and then scoring 2
