To drum or not to drum?

[MargateFan]

Definitely keep the drum, let's try and encourage some of the supporters who don't look on here but stand near to join in, and keep to the positive support (unless the referee is a merchant banker, we can all buy in to that).

I fully agree that the songs could be cleaned up but I don't think the one's with swearing in will ever disappear.

[Tony_T]

Keep it Keep it KEEP IT!!!!

 

If you don't like the atmosphere - go watch Ramsgate!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bootyshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bow.gif" alt="" />

they will never go away , they are part of football and as long as the game is played the songs will be sung on the terraces .

[Blue Boy Kev]

I think we should post on here then some new cleaner songs then.

[MargateFan]

We already have:

 

Come on Margate

Give me an MMMMMM

We love you Margate

Margate till I die

Robin Trott's blue & white (or barmy for variation) army

The blues blues blues one

The players ones

The referee one

The Margate drum drum drum one

The best team the world has ever seen one

 

Then there's the how wide do you want the goal one, and the don't know what you're doing one for the oppo (or ref).

 

And the scoring ones when we get the goals (oh please on Saturday)

 

And if we're doing OK we can have the we're going to win the cup one.

 

Surely there's enough there to get us going? Given that you can repeat the above as many times as required.

[MFC Forever]

I agree we should keep the drum, it creates a great atmosphere.

[Gate Watcher]

I'm sure I've heard Oh when the Gate a few times too MF. Thats a good song. And what about the old classic Singin the Blues. Now to sing them on Saturday!

[Andy .]

got to keep the drum, and when the Gate go marching on , good song for the mighty Choir of Margate. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/icon_band222.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/excited.gif" alt="" />

[hangthedj]

Lets go beeping mental, lets go beeping mental, la la la la, la la la la! Is that better?

[ooh!!bodyform]

not quite the same ring mark lololol

[ooh!!bodyform]

how about 'LETS GO MARGATE MENTAL,LETS GO MARGATE MENTAL, LA,LA,LA,LA LA,LA,LA,LA

[geoff pay]

Some of these songs go back to 1966 when they were first sang against Merthy Tydfil. The next home programme said the players were lifted by it. I remember joining at a time when we were playing krap and one nil down. The players really made an effort then and we won 2-1. Which end did it all start. Yep you've guessed it the Coffin End where all the memorable singing nights occured. sadly not there now. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

[Andy .]

looks like everyone maybe getting itchy feet for a sing song on Sat , good to see positive chat again.

[I am Spartacus]

Keep the drum Mark. You know that I want you to develop that drum beat for the players to march out to at away games.

At home games it also helps create the right atmosphere and drown out any away support.

[abdullah]

It matters not if you beat the drum, it matters more that we beat the Fleet!

 

I suggested at the teabar that we might have a drum roll, but they said they only do cheese or ham!

 

Abdullah the cheesy

[GEEBEE]

I TAKE IT PIDDLER IS FROM FLEET.

[Gate Watcher]

A quick look at their forum suggests you are spot on Geebee <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/icon_band222.gif" alt="" />

[Boney Crisp]

I agree keep the drum, but do we have a drummer for home games.
