Yes! Exactly! I can't believe how many people find it impossible to clap to a beat by a rock band Curiously, they seem to catch up/ get in line as it progresses. Weird. My earlier suggestion for the flag runners was paint ball guns.
Agree Griff and Old Hob why haven't we got a set of drummers with so many steel bands in the region we should be able to come up with 4 or 5 good drummers.

I wonder if Tigers made a complaint about Whitehouse in view of his carp performance in the Racing match. Mind you Jones is apparently also Welsh so we may have to pray to the Gods that he is not as bad.
Hi Wardy, I always try to substantiate where my posts come from and yes today I noticed that Dan Jones was locally listed as our Referee rather than the RC92 associate member Ben Whitehouse, well this information was posted on Planetrugby on Tuesday with Healy & Campbell as assistants; whereas Dan Jones was down to Referee Ospreys v Bristol in Bridgend but this switch can only be a hopeful improvement, but I think Ben Whitehouse in on the International circuit! but he is in my classification of Wigglesworth, Garner, Raynal, Gauzere & Poite.

I too cannot stand the drums, the piped music ie. Mighty Quin, Wasps squeels.. but that Argentinian singer of a few seasons ago Tigers V Argentina was class

Oh come on Neil Nodder they have replaced the old galvanised steel dustbins with plastic bins and they are difficult to string round your neck & hell to try and tune!!! No drums please and too cold for cheer-leaders.
Wormus did you go to the Wasps match at the Ricoh arena? The drummers there were superb and added to a fantastic atmosphere. If we can't invent a better chant than Tigers,Tigers, Tigers repeated ad infinitum then it's got be drummers, steel wood or plastic I don't mind just remember to bring a good supply of cotton wool if you're sitting or standing too close to them!
