Mr_Chimp 0 Posted July 26, 2010 Good good. There''s enough cheering, shouting and singing going on to create an atmosphere without the ''help'' of a tuneless horn blaring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legend Iwan 30 Posted July 26, 2010 I compeletly agree. If you are going to ban one (Vuvuzela) then they should ban all other similar items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 180 Posted July 26, 2010 Does this mean, please, that the pain in the arse @ Portsmouth will not be allowed to bring that ******* bell in with him?Or will allowances be made as he is a "character" (supposedly)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Houston Canary 0 Posted July 26, 2010 I don''t understand the joy at this pointless ban. Vuvuzuelas have never been a problem at CR, so why suddenly ban them? CR is not S Af and it didn''t host any World Cup games. Space aliens have not been a problem but they might as well be banned, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,582 Posted July 26, 2010 It''s a pre-emptive strike HC.Loads of grounds have banned them already,as i think they know they will get bombarded with complaints! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daphne 0 Posted July 26, 2010 I don''t disagree NC, but you would have had a hard time preventing my grandad taking his rattle to games. Live and let live!And Houston, I agree with your points - but I think there is another issue here - the power of TV to dictate how we should celebrate goals.

Houston Canary 0 Posted July 26, 2010 Thanks, Daphne.Herman, I get it being pre-emptive, but why not just let it happen naturally. It is highly unlikely very many would be brought to begin with, and more likely the small amount would quickly dwindle as novelty wore off and fellow spectators made it clear they were not welcome. BEsides, I don''t think one here or there is a problem, it''s 10,000 of them that is.Banning them seems more like a publicity stunt than anything useful.

TIL 1010 4,655 Posted July 26, 2010 The last time Blackpool played at Carrow Road their"drummer" was the subject of several complaints so his drum was confiscated at half time so i suppose if people complain about the Pompey bell the same will happen to him.Interesting times hey Daphne?

Bill 1,788 Posted July 27, 2010 Vuvuzuelas have never been a problem at CR, so why suddenly ban them?err, because they didn''t exist or were unknown before the world cup, hence the ''sudden'' ban - if they have never been a problem then any ban will not be noticedas to the Blackpool drum I was sitting at the back of the South Stand at that game when Doncaster came strolling along from the River End. I did tell him to sit down, in the same manner as the steward had been doing previously (aren''t I the scamp). Anyway I got talking to him and he said that they were going to remove the thing at half time, less hassle, most fans down under the stand etc. I did point out that it might have been a better idea to have stopped it from getting in in the first place. He did agree that it was a fair point. He didn''t seem too keen on me having his seat while he strolled about the ground though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Houston Canary 0 Posted July 27, 2010 If it won''t be noticed, why make the ban?But it has been noticed. There have been more than just this thread about it.Try again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
