Chelsea got a result at Wembley.So did Myles

At half-time I said, “ I’m going out to stretch my legs.”

There was a queue for the loo, so I didn’t join it.

Instead I went over and spoke to a steward.

“I’ve got a complaint. A serious complaint. Who can I talk to? Who is the stadium manager?

Surprised and disconcerted, the steward said, “There is an information desk…..”

Seething, I said “I’ve been coming to Wembley for most of my life and this is disgusting. It’s insane. That drum. You can’t have an idiot DJ who switches on an electronic drum during the game. An electronic drum does not provide  atmosphere, it prevents atmosphere. Because the supporters can’t hear each other. It’s ridiculous, it’s insulting, it’s fascism. It’s totalitarian American entertainment. It’s garbage. It’s dehumanizing.

“I do a blog and my headline tomorrow will be Daniel Levy must tell Wembley to switch off that fucking drum.

Then I went back to my seat and the second half started and after a while realised I hadn’t heard the PA or the drum. After 20 minutes I still hadn’t heard it. After 30, still nothing, only real crowd noises, the sounds that human beings have been making in English football grounds since 1889.

I said to the guy on my left “At half-time I had a rant to a steward about that drum.”

He said, “Seems like your message got through.”
