The Horn

The Horn

Not sure if it's been covered on another thread, but those 2-3 guys blowing that yellow horn and seemingly finding it hysterical for the 90mins, it grew real thin after about the 2nd blow, can you leave it at home next time please?

Also, I'm not sure if one of you was threatening someone with violence because they asked you to stop blowing it, but if you did and if you weren't messing around when you grabbed that guy's shirt then I can't see you lasting long at the stadium.

One was a season ticket holder, they moved to aisle 22 and were back several rows from row C.

I'm bumping this, anyone know if there was argy-bargy or not?

Probably going to be locked but the minute i saw these guys with the horn I went Yellow Fever is going to hate them.

A hatred almost matched by those plastic inflatable banger things.

I hated the horn too. They would try to go along with the chants.

I didn't see any violence or anything close though. they were in my row just down from us.Stefan2009-11-06 19:01:37

I was tempted to start a 'you can stick that f*%king horn up your arse' Thought they might have enjoyed the attention too much.

i thought this thread was going to be about which players give you the horn.

vince lia & paul ifill for me. massive horn.

Whats wrong with horns?? they sound cool when crowds get into them. just the crowd chants plus the horns going off.

They are annoying. Up there with loud hailers. Refer first leg All Whites game.

Were they poms by any chance.  Did some guy look late 30's but had a emo style hair cut?

I just saw the one guy with a yellow horn. I was with a few poms that you might be referring to?

No idea if they were sigh* poms or not, I just turned looked up and I think I heard the guy with the mo and season ticket shout "don't start what you can't finish" and grabbed a bloke by the front of his shirt. I actually thought they were mates but then the body language was all wrong so no idea.

The other had Gibb brother teeth, sort of like the guy out of the hugely overated conchords duo. Both of them pissed up and gormless.


you could not miss them in aisle 22

NEws, Smithy and I had a similar run in with some poms a few weeks ago.  They had those bangers and we yelling stoopid things out like "number 7 is f**kin sh*t",  "hes a c**t",  "break his legs" and so forth.  Sounds like it could be the same people. 2ndBest2009-11-06 22:19:58

Oh not the guys im with then. There was another guy with a horn up toward the back near us,but must be somewhere else you're talking about

Point them out to security if you recognise them, before they start and ruin someones enjoyment of the game. plenty of room down by Aisle 36 for them.

Away supporters + horn/thunderstick aisle?

we were sat smack in the middle of 22 - plenty of bad haircuts and pissed up poms but didnt notice the horns thankfully. glad they stopped giving out those bloody thunder sticks though. when are YF going to get a drummer?


he may have to stand near the front though!

I don't think you can call yourself a Wellington fan any more after a comment like that ...

sorry mate they are "ok", but not the be all and end all of comedy.

please we've been through the drums in season one never again.


the horn chaps were on the left  side of aisle 22 if you are looking up from the pitch.

So nobody actually knows these people to have a word when they are sober?

Amazing, if they slag off the players what is the point of coming to the match?

The Tawa boys around row f aisle 22 had a horn but they weren't annoying anyone from what we could see....was a laugh coz they couldn't blow it very well and didn't do it for too long...

sorry but wasnt there in season 1 but if it is tried, tested and ended then maybe not....


anyway we're loud enough without the drums i guess...loudest fans in the league

Just have been them, although I'd say a bit further back than F. They played it for most of the match until the last 15mins. Yes they couldn't play it but it was hardly rib-crackingly funny.

Some liked them, most not, they were an organized outfit though.

One had a spurs jacket on. 

Must have been a gooner in disguise!

Spurs fans don't need horns, bells, whistles or any other additives!

Anyhoo. Is there any etiquette for telling obnoxious know-it-all-drunk-poms-with-horns to politely p!ss off over to Aisles 3 or 4?

Yes. The message is relayed through security.

Thanks.

"Excuse me my good man Mr Marley. Could you please kindly advise the gentlemen with the London accents to re-position themselves directly opposite their current seating so that the rest of us can appreciate their glorious musical renditions with wind instruments and fermented hops beverages at an appropriate distance? Most obliged if you could and good day to you kind sir."

Nice post. I reckon Lone and others are right it has to be Security, some of us have jobs that would have our managers seriously frowning upon us being in court over having a scrap.
