Oh, I hope these things are banned from the RoF.

If the club doesn't ban them, I think peer pressure from fellow fans may do the trick. Any adult giving them to their kids to bring along, need their head read. Must have a chat to Red Badge and see if we can get them stopped at the gates!

I hope parents whom take the family to the games have taken notice of this thread. No one wants a horn blown in their ear area.

Some dude playing two notes on a trumpet during the Mexico v Uruguay game was actually more annoying than the vuvuzelas. I think that is because I don't notice the vuvu anymore.

I'm slightly concerned that you paid that much attention to the picture 

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Birko strongly advocate the use of the Vuvuzela at football matches. They have been present at our last few games, much to the displeasure of our opponents 

Three for me, and two for them.

No one advocated them at Knights games, in fact even Australian fans sent emails complaining about them until they were removed.

There was a kid with one at the open day today and man it was loud and he was on his own. You can imagine thousands of these things being blown.

I unsubscribed from 3deals because they were selling them.

Sydney have banned them, pressure from Australian fans had them banned from New Zealand Knights games and many English clubs have banned them. 

Not a word from our club.

We should encourage the use of purerehua.

Would scare the sh!t out of the opposition but probably take out most of the supporters too.

Read the last bullet point - the public nuisace factor I would think but I didn't make the rules so I'm not 100% sure.

But not all musical instruments are a nuisance to the public. Some are quite enjoyable and add to atmosphere.
