i can't see the reason behind the clamour to get behind the banning of the things. Now although they didn't bother me at all during the World Cup I wouldn't want to be deafened by them at games.
Which is kind of my point. Nor would anyone else. Amongst the sharp turning of heads towards the vuvuzela blower, the tuts, the onbious discord amongst fans, the person(s) with the trumpet would soon stop and forget about them.
but, they also will have a limited lifeshelf anyway. After World Cups something is also imported for a short while and then die a natural death. Singing 'Ole, ole, ole (or owaye as we did) lasted and was in vogue for a month or two and then disappeared. This is likely to have less of a life as our support goes to singing rather than the average fan bringing in plastic trumpets.
leave it alone and stop giving it as much oxygen as it has been and it will die its own death. As for banning it? No need.
On the other side, I'd rather have a chorus of these things than the bloody brass band that insist on drowning out every England game. That's where we should aim our ire. And as for Portsmouth...
