I mean...it probably is. 

 

Nope, not having it. Our past 25+ years of decline is definitely down to a couple out of tune trumpets rather than a series of financial incompetence

BOOM BOOM BOOOM B-BOOM BOOM BOOM

BOOTH !!

I think it's time for another ballot...

A great atmosphere in the ground yesterday which, maybe, drowned out the band.  I didn't hear them and assumed that they were at The Etihad with England.  If they were, on such a momentous day for SWFC, where does their loyalty lay?  A few weeks ago they were doing their best to try and drown out any anti-chancer chants, is it finally time to say goodbye?

They were at the Etihad on Saturday at the England women's game, fortunately I was at the opposite end of the ground!! 

Can safely say if I never hear their tuneless racket ever again, it will be too soon

"Band" is a bit of a stretch. More like strangers playing notes - and as the great Eric Morecambe once said, not necessarily in the right order!

Brass bands have no place in a football stadium. 
 

English football at its best is spontaneous, raw and unscripted. 
 

You can’t have that with a ******** trumpet playing the same 4 things over and over again. 
 

They’re a symbol of 25+ years of failure for me. Time to move on. 

Apart from sally army at Christmas 

I wouldn’t mind if it was just drumming along to crowd led chants, like a war cry. 
 

As it is though it’s fairly poo !

Thread needs retitling to:

The Kop Banned

Whenever we've had these threads in the past there have been people quick to defend them. Interesting that no one is speaking in favour of keeping the band. 

From a Wednesday fanzine twenty years ago.

Sounded like the band were back in situ at West Brom - can anyone confirm?  

Was in Berlin yesterday for Hertha v Dresden. Division 2 game and over 70,000 crowd. Amazing atmosphere with around 20k away fans. Non stop from both sets of supporters. 
 

I turned to my mate and said ‘and we have a f***in band’

Laughable

No, that was West Brom fans
