What Next?

[villan]

So, the Shrimps have jumped on the bannedwagon, and outlawed the Vuvu. Bloody ridiculous. What next? Lets ban the drum cos it's too loud and then singing cos it might offend the opposition. Then we could ban football shirts for the same reason. Oh, and half time eats and drinks incase you spill it on someone. Anything else?

[alwaysright]

Numpty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Opinionated]

We aren't the only club to take such action. Vuvuzelas are annoying and completely unnecessary. They can't be used in any musical capacity unlike the drum. I can't imagine football fans in England using the Vuvuzela in the same spirit as the South Africans do. If they were allowed at the Globe it would be 12 year old chavs who were using them to torment the rest of us.

[james456]

How many people were actually planning to bring a vuvuzela to Morecambe's games and are disappointed that they are now banned? Less than 10 IMO.

[darrenlock]

When I first was hearing them at the World Cup it got on my nerves and I cant see many league teams allowing this.

[villan]

You all seem to be missing the point, but they were banned by some of the big clubs for "Health and Safety" reasons, not because they are "bloody annoying", hence the ever so slightly sarcastic post and "dig" at the management.

[alwaysright]

Hey leave our super managment people alone, they do a magnificant job dont you know.

You're a right barrel of laughs you aren't you? Do you ever have a good word to say about anything?

If you're a WUM you are getting very boring because every post is either sarcastic or critical, or in most cases both. Get a life!!

[alwaysright]

Ohh have you had a bad day, chill out and take it easy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you will find our club has also banned the vuvu on "health and safety grounds"as there is a definite health issue as it gets inserted up the users arse

[shrimper]

..and that IS the point.

I think there's a serious concern that people would get so hacked off that they would start confronting those using them. Then there would be arguments and hassle on the terraces between groups of 'shut that thing up!' or 'leave him alone' fans.

Can do without it. Banning them makes sense.

[halftimeresults]

What is the clubs stance on trombones?

[Castaway]

2nd worst (frustrating / annoying) thing at the world cup..

[ezz]

So who has actually experience the vuvuzela's first hand? And not just through your tv whilst trying to hear the annoying commentators!

[mrpotatohead]

Are they going to ban shoutyman, the drummer, the annoying kids, where do you draw the line, we are better having anything that creates more noise and atmosphere, even our totally s te fireworks

If one or two people bring the vuvuzelas, you do not have to sit or stand directly next to them in a 2 thirds empty arena, Iget the feeling that if MFC threw a bonfire, they would ban fireworks

Totally agree.

If you don't like 'em.....MOVE. There'll be plenty of room!

That's easy for you to say, sat on your thrown in the main stand

The singers like to group together to create an atmosphere. This happens to be where such vuvuzelas would be, and I aint leaving the atmospheric area. So moving is not an option.

So none of the singers are in favour of vuvuzelas....I assume that you speak on behalf of them all?

[Opinionated]

Based on comments from this forum it would suggest the majority are against vuvuzelas. As I have previously stated they produce noise not music so they will be of no use to the singers.

[ezz]

Hardly, it looks like you've observed comments from 'some' members of the forum agreed with them and then assumed this is the majority. Granted a lot on here dont like them, but only a minute percentage have actually experienced a football match with them as well. So they have just based their own decision on the fact they couldn't here the commentator on the tele and got annoyed.
If you speak to the people that went to world cup matches i'd take a guess that over 90% would say they made for a great atmosphere.

[Christies Child]

Ezz....exactly.

We need to create an intimidating atmosphere week in and week out at The Arena.

Whatever it takes as far as I'm concerned!

[Morecambe Jack]

I would rather people heard the home terrace chanting for 90 minutes than them being drowned out by the vuvuzela.

[mrpotatohead]

If one or two dozen people turned up with them, as would be likely, whers the harm, do you think this debate was ever held at christie park 100 years ago regarding rattles

No I suppose not...

[ezz]

No offence but it's not like the atmosphere at christie park on a normal day is that great. I doubt for the most of the match the other supporters can barely hear us. May sound ok when your stood right in the middle of it in the old 'north' stand but the noise isn't that loud.
