Why cannot we take a drum to the emirates and drum it?

In europe fans are always drumming away, even in the championship. Can someone contact Arsenal FC and ask wether we can bring a bass drum, i would be happy to purchase one and take it with me to matches, also they should let all the singing fans sit in the same quadrant or something so we can all have a good sing song.

They want us to make noise and yet they do not want to support us at all, how hypocriticial. The stewards do not help by giving you dirty looks and most fans just look at you thinking why the fuck are you singing.

I do not go to many matches as much as i would like to because i do not find it as entertaining as it used to be at Highbury.

Nice to see my photograph being used on your site. However, should I be aloud to sing in the Emirates stadium, it will be in praise of your opponents that day … Chelsea!

Not bad Shiney, we can then get all gangerster rap on the away fans and chant –

“yo my b!tches, yo my b!tches, yo my b!tches over there”

What’s wrong with “We’re the D-Quadrant, We’re the D-Quadrant, We’re the D-Quadrant of the Emirates!” I think it’s quite catchy.

Because everyone wears red and white already. Its not a case of moving about… but if there were 10 orange shirts in your section, you’d know if you started a song you’d have at least 10 singers prepared to join you!

Orange because of Bergkamp day.

Redsection won’t ever grow large enough to raise the roof… you need more than one small section singing to get the atmosphere going.

Why ‘Orange’ (unless the person is Dutch or showing their appreciation for RVP), why not ‘Red & White’?

I like the idea of being able to spot another likeminded singers, but how feasible will it be for me to go and sit next/near them? “Excuse me mate, do you mind swapping seats as i want to sing?”

With each game that Ive attended this season, I have seen the Red Action Section grow and grow, and Im sure that this will continue. Maybe for next season there could be another corner off the ground allocated to people who just want to have a good old sing song. This would then encourage banter between the sections, they in turn can banter with the away fans from different angles, and the atmosphere will have a surround effect which would encourage people to join in.

“In the Clock End, in the Clock End, in the Clock End over here”
“In the East Stand, in the East Stand, in the East Stand over here”

Ok we don’t have these recognisable ends anymore, but maybe Arsenal FC could change the names of the quadrants so that they are more in touch with Arsenal FC
