I like them , I think the trumpeter is particularly good at triple tonguing.
They add a bit of atmosphere to a quiet ground.
If you don’t like them move away from them, there are plenty of seats in the North Stand, near me !

I have not been bothered by them previously but I have to say they were dreadful last Friday and I sit in the North Stand. Have they had replacement members or were there stand ins either way they were dreadful, which is quite a shame as I have previously thought they added to the atmosphere.

I love the band. But what is the tune / lyrics that sounds like Galloway which was being played / sung at the end?

No it's not that. It's been around for a few years but I'm slightly ashamed to say I've never worked out what it is.
