But not all musical instruments are a nuisance to the public. Some are quite enjoyable and add to atmosphere.
That's your opinion. Somehow I can't see several thousand other people agreeing with you. Some people like netball sticks, some don't. Some people like Vuvuzelas and some don't. If there was a musical instrument that everyone loves then it wouldn't be banned.

Not everyone likes chanting though but that isn't banned.
Three for me, and two for them.

Exceptions are made at times im sure. Remember the drums. But i beg stadium security to apply that rule very heavily to vuvuzelas please!
I've heard of exceptions being made but you have to make a request prior to the event day rather than turning up and arguing with security, which seams to be the favoured approach.
Next time I get the chance I'll ask whether it's likely we'll see any Vuvuzelas at the ROF...but personally I think it's unlikely.

Perhaps Section 2 Upper 3 rows should be designated the only area allowable for Vuvuzelas

The problem with those banger blow-up sticks for me wasn't so much people whacking them together, but more the fact that f**kwits kept using them to jump on and explode within a metre of my ear drums.
Vuvuzealas are the same. They are exactly the same as the old plastic horns they used to sell that very quickly disappeared from general use.
People like their hearing. Which is why chanting is fine, and anything louder than that is not.

So, if Boca fans were to bring drums and other instruments to the game against the Nix it wouldn't be fine? Sorry lads, too loud for Ard Righ, you'll have to go enjoy yourselves elsewhere.

I remember some drums at the Bahrain game that their supporters had, not far away from us
At first i thought it wasnt fair that they could have them and we werent allowed them, (if memory serves right), they must have sneaked them in.
However it added to the atmosphere, was confined to one section and we were able to chant and cheer louder anyway.
Wheras Vuvuzelas would be all around the stadium, bloody irritating, as there is no tune, and I reckon would take away from the ROF specialness that YF chanting and singing provides
No Vuvus at ROF

me , it's imported English yob culture bullsh*t that has no place at a Aotearoa sporting event.
but I am prepared to compromise, you can chant if I can bring my noise maker, this vuvuzela.
people eating smelly hotdogs and other assorted dead animals are at least as offensive as the rabble making a racket, can this be sorted too? soon no one will be there and those remaining will complain of a lack of atmosphere. anything involving wide range of community will mean putting up with inconsiderate people.
get over it.
perhaps trial using public transport before renewing season ticket? That'll being out the patience and deep breath I am sure. Often I consider riding the buses a form of penance or community service.

Nothing beats watching the rugger, with a blanket over your knees, and cheering when the loudspeaker tells you to.

If I wanted to be subected to a non-stop, constant, droning, tuneless, deafening noise for 90 minutes at the game, I'd take my wife with me.
Maybe it's just me, but my enjoyment of being at a football match is not dependent on seriously pissing off everyone within a 50 metre radius of me. Anyone blowing one of those things anywhere near me at the ROF runs a very real risk of needing to have it surgically removed.

- Musical instruments
Surely the loophole is that no-one considers the vuvuzela a "musical" instrument. 
Which is the root of the whole problem.

Wait, are you saying you'd be OK with people beating drums in your ear? Don't you need your hearing?
Is it too much to ask that I be able to talk to the person next to me, without having to yell directly in their ear?
It's not all about who can make the loudest noise, otherwise they'd allow loud hailers into the stadium.
People do enjoy the social aspect of a football match, other than the chanting.

This entire thread is racist
All pretending to like something simply because one particular nationality favours it would be condescending & bigoted not to mention stupid. If we had a thread up about all hating Morris Dancers it wouldn't make us racist (even though it's very much a 'white' favoured pastime) just sensible

In London, I used to work with a guy who was a Morris Dancer. Nice fella.
