I have been watching sport (mainly cricket, football and rugby) since the early 1970's. I prefer to be at the stadium when there are international touring teams and have always been willing to pay for that privilege. I have even planned some "business" trips around international sporting events, as recently as the local IPL !!

I have experience of vuvuzelas been used in stadia. I have spolen to some of my buddies who play in the national premier league (one's a 'keeper) and even they find it irritating. Wait until they start with the air raid siren!!

I will not pay for tickets to attend a game unless they ban vuvuzelas. Most of the idiots using them hardly watch the game anyway and are probably there because they have complimentary tickets...
 
Those things are technically illegal (due to the noise levels) and cause hearing damage. I can see a lot of lawsuits coming at the world cup to be completely honest. Those are modeled on TRAIN HORNS FFS!!!! I hate them! I would be seriously peeved to pay for expensive tickets and some vuvuzela crazed supporter is blowing in my ears all the time. It should be banned!

erm...they're modeled on the kudu horn the zulus used as a gathering call
 
I think the poll should have a "they dont bother me" option. But for now, I'll click music to my ears.

:D
 
I say they sould come with arsenic on the mouth piece, but that is just me.
 
TPK, I'm referring to being a paying spectator and not watching it on the box where you have a mute button.

one or two us annoying, but 10 000 of them going off in the stadium is insane! the floor vibrates, it helps if you're blowing a vuvuzela yourself.

if its too loud you're too old
 
It's not that it's too loud you little miscreant - they're just fscking annoying...:mad:

:D

I've been to packed games and its nowhere near as bad as its being made out to be. ;)

It is physically improbable that fellow fans sitting around you will be blowing it for the FULL 90 minutes (so you wont go deaf :p). What we hear on TV is the collective effect. Meaning some guys somewhere in the stadium are blowing it at point in time. Personaly I cant blow it for more than a couple minutes at a time. And thats when something exciting is happening.

And I used to play for them at one stage as well...
