As an outsider, they're an absolute embarrassment. England crowds used to have a decent atmosphere, now it's just 90 minutes of the great escape.

I love it, like the drum at the Ricoh it far increases the atmosphere!

The Ricoh has an atmosphere?

 

[Otis]

I'm all for them. No probs at all. They try to aid to the atmosphere and even though a few moan I'm pretty sure most people don't mind them at all .Can't understand why anyone would describe them as an embarrassment. Find that very puzzling.

I think they sound great! Didn't they start off at Sheff Wed?

Atmosphere? How the hell is playing The Great Escape and Land of Hope and Glory over and over and over generating an atmosphere!? If anything it has a negative effect as it drowns out the fans.

They ruin England games for me with there crap playing, they get into games for free too. Muppets.

I think they should play a lot more tunes rather than the same old stuff every game ! perhaps a 2tone medley to get the crowd going ???

Playing Land Of Hope and Glory has a negative effect?

They just remind me of the bloody racket those vuvuzelas made in the 2010 World Cup! They were banned and so should the band be banned! (How many more times can you fit the word band into a sentence? )

Self preservation, society.
Great escape
Land of hope and glory
God save the queen ( our team?)
England till I die, I'm England till I die
Etc
Etc

If we could have such a repertoire at the Ricoh, we should be chuffed!

A recent survey showed that 84% of England fans wanted them permenantly banned. They even ruin England games for me, can't stand the manufactured "atmosphere" they create.

It was absolute bliss when they were banned from the first game vs France. Now the cunts are allowed back in

 

[Tad]

Get them to play different stuff and not as much and I'm fine with them. Otherwise, kick em out. There just annoying.

And lily most polls they were probably conducted on a forum like this and not representative of those who go. I attend a lot of home internationals and think they are no problem. I also like our block15 drummer (although I wouldn't want to sit next to him)

think it sounds great and nothing wrong with them playing at all? However I have sat 5 rows in front of them at an england game and it does give you a headsche after 30 minutes....
