Yesssssssssssssssssss!
Get in there!
Made my afternoon.
I trust the sanctions for anyone transgressing the ban will be suitably severe.
Next item to be reviewed..those damned clunking plastic sticks. Not only are they an unbelievable irritant but those clunking them often obstruct your view of the game whilst doing so. I see they have already made a reappearance in cricket thanks to Friends Provident dishing them out.

Wrong choice i'm afraid.
Seems like the Prostar will be like a libary again next season.

Personally I'd prefer it to be like a library rather than having those damned things anywhere in the ground.
But the drum players will alas be preventing that from happening.

Well allow them to blow the bloody things in your living room DaveG.
They'll enjoy that. Doubt you will though.

Next thing we should do is allow away fans to take a drum in the away end. Then as soon Shrewsbury fans start singing the away fan with the drum can starting drumming and drown what is already a quietish home support out, oh wait a minute......

It's a sad indictment of the attention span of kids nowadays that they can't watch a match without the prop of a vuvuzela or some other noise making equipment.

I think it's totally out of line for the club to firstly sell you the Vuvu's and then ban them! Have a word with Southstandshrew as he's got a hotline to John Harris.

Or was that just me (I am talking 30yrs ago btw) maybe just you, i was in the seats where running around was rightly frowned upon. during quiet matche we would pick an empty crisp paccket or other movable litter and bet which one would blow over the goal line first. atually, reading that back sounds quite sad, wish i had had a nintendo back then

I'm not going to give them the satisafaction mate. Yet another example of the club letting down the real fans. Me and my kids attend at least 3 home games a season, and that is a fortune in itself. For them to allow me to spend £40 on Vuvuzelas and £6 for the B&A tinsel to wrap round them, AND THEN BAN THEM? The place is going to hell in a handcart.

person who wrote in and said" destroys atmosphere" what flipping atmosphere at greenhous meadow? at least vuvuzelas would of gave some noise and vuvuzelas could of done which the signing blocks failed to do and make alot of noise. personally i thought they should of made block 1 and 2 vuvuzela blocks as there are usualy empty unless schools or clubs are in them blocks.

i'm not sure what the fuss is all about
ground regs since the 80s have always stated 'air horns' are not permitted, thats basically what a vuvuleza is isnt it ?
i didnt really mind as long as it wasnt going to be just a handful which is more likely what it would have been
a handful would have been an annoying row
the 'bee swarm' was in my opinion a decent atmosphere
the main issue really is apart from mattsnapper & fingers who else on here has heard them first hand and actually knows what they are really like before they moan about them ?

Burst eardrum..... I joke but seriously.... unfortunately we now live in a "where's there's blame there's a claim" society that people are always looking to jump on, and shockingly there are people out there always looking for that next big pay day through court.

Glad they have taken the decision, although would have preferred the club to say the reason we are doing it is they are bloody annoying, rather than the old health and safety line
As for the old atmosphere/library argument, do you prefer people trying to make an atmosphere with the inevitable periods of silence or people trying to make an atmosphere but being drowned out by an annoying horn?

The horn adds to it, it creates a noise which the singers will have to get above. I saw it confirmed on Skynews last night, gutted.
