All these so called HARD people who are gonna shove vuvuzealas down peoples throats, ha you make me laugh. What if some headcase who is rather handy with his fistycuffs turns up with his vuvuzeala? You have a pop at him and try ripping it off him to put it down his thoat to which he replies with an almighty uppercut which breaks your jaw and you end up loosing some teeth? What you gonna do then? You can't go to the police becuase you trying to put a vuvuzeala down ones throat is assault to which the guy uses one big punch to flatten you which as long as he doesn't persist to take you apart is an act self defence if you attempt to do such a thing. How silly would you look? All for spitting out your dummy because somebody wanted to play a vuvuzeala in which they are entitled to until somebody states otherwise.

I for one thinks we may actually need something like this to help with the atmosphere in the ground, would be happy for an dedicated area of the ground to be given for this sort of thing. Same goes for the drum or for any other sort of festivites fans can come up with. I think now block nine is empty all the singers go in block 18 and 19 and have block 9 as the vuvuzeala, drum and festivities block. I for one want be going back to block 9 but would like to see something come of it to boost the levels from the south stand which have really declined.

The other way of doing it would be to have vuvuzeala rules, in which they can only be blown after a successful attack?
For instance
1. a goal 2. a corner 3. a freekick ina dangerous postion 30 years from goal 4. a penalty

Just ban them..end of story.
If I remember years and years ago some bloke (quite rightly) was turfed out of Headingley Cricket Ground for wearing a Father Xmas suit. How standards have declined! Many a person, me included, have had their day at a Test Match completely ruined by having booze fuelled idiots in fancy dress in close proximity. I refuse on principle to go to a 20/20 game cause I know what I'll encounter.
Vuvuzelas would certainly upset my enjoyment of the game, as did the free issue of those plastic sticks that kids clunk together at one Shrewsbury match in the past. Not only did they make a damned repetitive noise, but as they have to be held upright they blocked my view as well.
I expect to be classified as curmudgeonly, but that's my viewpoint.

I don't get why people are so obsessed with the things. Honestly after a while it starts piercing my brain. It sounds Flippin awful like nails on a black-board or something. Can't people just use other instruments? Very very extreme ... You've took what they've said too seriouslt there buddy.

It contributes **** all to the atmosphere as it drowns out all the singing and just about everything else in a 10 mile radius. The only thing those bloody things will achieve is to give everyone a massive headache. The other way of doing it would be to have vuvuzeala rules, in which they can only be blown after a successful attack? For instance 1. a goal 2. a corner 3. a freekick ina dangerous postion 30 years from goal 4. a penalty Yea because I'm sure 6000 people are all going to be that organized especially the kids...

I've just emailed the club asking for a vuvuzeala section in the ground where the kids can blow em to there hearts content. I've explained how much of a money spinner it is and how much profit they can make selling by just a couple hundred of them. I've also stated that they can put the some nice copyrighted clipart lion stickers on them which would make them even more attractive for the kids to buy. I have also stated how poor the atmosphere was last season because nobody sings anymore and that in such it would give a blandish stadium a lift in noise and atmosphere it so desperately needs.

I can defend the use of drums, goal music etc but vuvuzela's or whatever you call them should have no place in English football! They seem to be a massive hit in South Africa, which is fine if they like that sort of thing (god knows why), but they should NEVER hit these shores! It's annoying enough having to listen to them in the World Cup matches

Those of you with iPhones/Touches you can now download your very own vuvuzela from the app store. Town could play this over the tannoy - he he he or annoy the hell out your neighbours : )

They're annoying at the world cup, but a few down the meadow wouldn't be too bad. The atmosphere would be much improved! though that isn't hard. Saying that, I think after a game of it, i'd regret supporting the idea. It's a no, afterall.

I think all this about the "kids" having a bit of fun blowing an over-sized plastic horn is just your way of masking your own burning desire to do so.

I'm no expert on these things but believe they require a certain amount of skill to get a noise out something like a trumpet ie there's no reed the noise comes from the vibration of your lips so its very unlikely kids will get any noise from them - you'll know what i mean if you've ever tried to play a digerredoo its not just a case of blowing!!!!!!! Also do you really think they'll et passed health and safety?One it could be used as a weapon but the real danger (to the kids) comes if someone accedentaly knocks the end which is 3 feet from your mouth (ie in the row in front) resulting in a loss of teath.............. We score everyone jumps up little Jonny looses teath Great idea onthetrain hope your insured with such a great idea

Looks as if we have our very own entrepreneur on B&A. You've promised something to the club which you can't be certain will be sold on a profitable basis. I'm sure grand-parents and parents will not allow their kids to sit all game blowing a horn as a kid blows them to have a laugh, not to support them. Furthermore, to back your idea, you've insulted the club by saying the atmosphere was "poor" last season. I'm sure they'll have you in a meeting tomorrow putting your plan forward. On the hole, people on here saying they're not part of English football. Get over yourself, i'm sure the people who brought drums into stadiums were hated for a while. A Vuvuzela is no different from a trumpet. Quite pathetic really. I wouldn't mind them at the meadow if a number (more than 100) of people bought them as 6 or 7 scattered about the place will sound stupid.

You wouldn't mind if I brought one though? Yes I bl00dy would. Though I am prepared to compromise. You could roll up the newspaper you bring and blow out of that.

Can we now start talking about something constructive and not about the bloody awful vuvuzela horns. How about who will GT be signing, this will be much more interesting? If those horns do come to the matches, as I am sure they will, I hope that you will "all" shove them down their throats or up some other appropriate part of their anatomy! It will not stop at soccer grounds, those South African clowns do it at Rugby and Cricket, so you have to ban it before it gets started.

I’ve read in the paper this morning that there are loads of them being sold in England, no doubt folk will look to carry it on and take them to the stadiums come the start of next season. I do think they will be making an appearance, just down to how many folk will have them with them. I don’t think it would be too bad with one or two dotted about the stadium. And I doubt very much folk would have it in them to keep going for the full 90 minutes. I suspect folk will give them a blow every now and then, more so when it’s a free kick, a corner for example. It would certainly get to you if there were thousands of them going on for the full 90 minutes as we see in SA but I just can’t see that happening at all. The pickup won’t be that great. Give it a couple of months and no doubt it’ll go away anyhows, it’ll be just a fad for the kids…
By the by, I’m one of these folks who thinks it destroys the atmosphere at football. Its constant, nor up nor down just the same throughout the 90 minutes. There is no emotion from the crowd, nothing. Whether it’s an attack, a corner or even a goal…nothing. Just the same noise over and over. Not a big fan at all. Yeah, its SA World Cup, it’s about them. But what about the supporters from other countries with it being the World Cup. Brazilian football fans are normally the type to get some noise and song going for example, that will be completely lost in the stadiums in SA…
