I'll drown them out - Goldman
Article from:
IN the wake of outrage over the South Sydney drummers being allowed into Brookvale this weekend, Sea Eagles ground announcer Grant Goldman has announced his plan to combat the noise - drown them out.
The Sea Eagles had attempted to have the Souths drummers fan club banned from Brookvale Oval for the game but were overruled, with the NRL saying Souths can use their drummers as the team runs out but not during the course of the game.
Goldman believes this will not be the case. "I don't know how are they going to police that,'' the passionate Manly fan said.
"I guarantee they'll be going on all game, so how does it become a home ground advantage if the crowd is 50 per cent Manly and 50 per cent Souths, and they get to have a drum squad to make noise and we don't?''
Goldman's comments come after South Sydney co-owner Peter Holmes a Court threw fuel on the fire yesterday by claiming the drummers would be at the game in force.
"There's no salary cap on our drummers," he said.
Earlier this year Goldman was criticised for being "overzealous and hyperactive'' by visiting fans.
"As I said at the time, I don't care about the fans of all the other teams, I only care about the Manly fans.''
Asked if he would drown out the Bunnies' support at the game with Eagle Rock and his traditional chants of "Beaver'', Goldman replied: "You betcha. I'll drown them out.''
