Newcastle make the best move ever!

HHHHHOOOOOOONNNNNNKKKKKKKK!

HHHHHOOOOOOONNNNNNKKKKKKKK!

Newcastle have become the latest club to ban the Vuvuzela from inside their ground, thank god!

The most irritating thing of the summer so far dissapeared off of our television screens along with the World Cup but there had been a train of thought that suggested the Vuvuzela could make an appearance over here at Premier League grounds.

That idea was soon cut down to size when a whole host of clubs banned the Vuvuzela from their ground, with Newcastle becoming the latest one to do such a thing.

I understand these plastic horns are part of South African culture, but that doesn’t stop them being irritating. I personally hated them during the World Cup and feel it ruined my enjoyment of the neutral games.

Now it looks like they won’t get the chance to ruin my, and others, enjoyment of the new Premier League season, which is a relief to say the least.The only plus side of hearing them over the summer, for me anyway, is that I knew that I would only ever have to put with them for the four weeks of the tournament.

I apologise if it seems like I am being intolerant, I don’t mean to be, but they are bloody annoying. I’m glad, ecstatic in fact, that people enjoyed tooting away on them over the summer, but it isn’t my cup of tea, and thankfully it looks like others feel the same.

Peace, guaranteed, at last!

    no mate, you don’t have to be a Geordie to support Newcastle, no one cares where your from as long as you support the team. However writing in English might be an idea on an English blog, took me bloody five minutes to read your post! :D

    not a fan of them infernal vuvuzela’s,but banning them is a bit police state if you ask me.what i would like to see at st james’,is what they do in italy where you give the biggest nutter,loudest fan and give him a microphone to lead the chanting,and get everyone going.

    I dunno, I think the banning is silly–almost as silly as the vuvuzelas themselves.

    Not that I’m a fan of the things–i have enough ear damage from the old punk rock shows–but is there any real possibility they’ll wind up in English grounds anyway?

  9. 9

    The vuvuzelas, that is, not the punk rock shows.

    fsoc….maybe not the proper sized ones but the smaller one which are equally as annoying………When we go to Madrid to see wor lasses family they have them at the match there,I s’pose it’s what you’re used to but its defo not for me…………………wouldn’t mind some SLF blaring out pre match though ;-)

    Does anyone know if you are allowed to take real instruments into SJP? I have often thought it would be good to have drums and brass to enhance the chants.

    They just make the noise by putting their hands together anyway. So it isn’t gonna stop the geordie vuvuzela chant for a while thats for sure.

    Who listens to the stewards anyway, officially your not allowed to take a can of pop in the ground, ‘incase its used as a weapon’. I pointed out why would I want to use it as a weapon against my own fans, I was nowhere near the away supporters. Yeah yeah Ashley it’s just because you want me to buy a bovril for £5 or summit.

  17. 17

    Ah, there it is. I’m just realizing that the album’s called Inflammable Material, but I forgot the song is “Suspect Device!”

    Ain’t it all sentimental? Now I got Barbra Streisand crooning “Memories… from the corners of my mind… misty water colored…” NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Dick – Good question. I don’t know the anser to that in fairness.

    One thing I will say, ou som Vuvuzelas in the East Stand. That’ll fettle the coffin dodgers in there. It was alright in there but has become like a morgue nowadays. hame as I used to sit there all the time.

    I’ll be up with the charvers in level 7 for the next time I go :D

    DJG – Ashley diesn’t do the catering anymore. It’s outsourced. He just pays a flat fee and the caterers charge that amounts.

    Doesn’t Hall still have something to do with it aswell?

  21. 21

    I dunno, Dick, if they don’t allow soda cans because they could be weapons, surely a trombone could be smacked upside somebody’s head.

    That’s be kinda funny, actually.

    Toonsy, don’t be so naive: A sandwich in the hands of the right, motivated and highly trained 76 year old can be deadly.

    nimagpie nimagpie says:

    Think what his agent has been saying is he will only be going to a team that can potentially met the £7-8m price tag after a years lone, they are unsure if Newcastle or even Milan will be able to met this. Im surprised that Milan potentially couldn’t. I could be wrong.

    JJ JJ says:

    Hahahaha…

    I actually agree. By and large the Vuvuzela can be irritating if you arn’t the one blowing it. And it has absolutely nothing to do with UK Footballing Culture. It would be ridiculous if they allowed them in the grounds.

    I would even have understood if they banned them from matches in the World Cup not involving South Africa. Until I noticed 80% of the people using them were foreigners just caught up in the vibe which unless you were in South Africa at the time, you would never understand.

    Premier league football has a unique culture of its own. And vuvuzelas would only ruin that.

    I’m just as relieved to see them banning them from our rugby and cricket stadia here in South Africa. Its a local football culture and shouldnt be allowed to become purely a marketing gimmick.
