Ernie For England Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thank God they've been banned. The sound of a million wasps buzzing is not atmosphere, it's irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever been in a ground full of them to form an opinion ? They where awesome at the World Cup... Much better than some one badly banging a drum while everyone just sits there quietly...

oafc0000 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) The decision has been taken by the Latics directors following a number of e-mails from fans expressing their concerns. I wonder if these fans went to SA and experienced them in person ? It was not universally popular, though, as many were irritated by its deafening and droning noise. They are not deafening... I could still hold a decent conversation with them being blown all around me... I really don't want us to get a world cup it would be a miserable experience for foreign visitors I think...

garcon Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I was hoping they'd drown out all the moaning. And the muppet choir. And the drum. But no, I can see how some plastic trumpets would be far worse than the normal drunk retards booing their own players... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc0000 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 They're bloody awful. And everyone I know who's heard them first hand says the same. Save them for cricket. Well I actually saw them first hand and saw at least 70% of the crowd blowing them all through games and having a great time. I would admit though that the miserable sodding English though where moaning about them when I dared to venture down to the Waterfront. I went in a English style pub, serving beers we get over here, and food we get other here, and meet a lot of pissed up English fans downing beers, insulting the foreigners, singing there horrible songs and generally keeping themselves to themselves besides the odd :censored:ty comment. I finished my beer and headed away from the area as quick as possible. I really hope we never get a World Cup. Funny enough though, there where plenty of English fans blowing them at the England vs USA game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc0000 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) Utter nonsense, we wouldn't need to cheap plastic horns to create an atmosphere. I watched SA vs Mexico in a fans fest in Cape Town. 5 mins after SA scored the screen failed. SA response ? They started singing and dancing. No moaning, no kicking off, no nasty stuff. I wonder what would of happened here. I realised then that it a English world cup wouldn't be great. I also doubt we could have the party's which they had on Long Street every night over here. It would simply kick off or the police would police it to deaf and make it no fun at all. Edited July 18, 2010 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing them in person would be even worse than hearing them on the tv. It would be louder and even more annoying (if thats even possible). All they do is drown out the real atmosphere of a football match such as singing and chanting. Like i said, the sound of these things is not atmosphere. Far from it.

garcon Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Euro 96 seemed to go off ok. I think a World Cup in England would be fine ... I'd just make sure I was mixing with anyone but the England fans. It's when they're abroad that England fans are truly embarrassing. I will never, ever travel to watch England. I don't want to take even the smallest risk of being associated with them. Northern Ireland, on the other hand, is much more fun. Just as much (in fact probably more) booze and no hint of trouble anywhere. (Unless you include when we got charged - as in cavalry - by the Latvian riot police for singing "Robocop you're having a laugh"... ).

I'd just make sure I was mixing with anyone but the England fans. As a foreigner in South Africa I got the most wonderful treatment and exposed to some real sights and great times. Thinking from the prospective of a Foreigner visiting England I really don't see what we can offer them. Granted, the actual stadiums and atmosphere should be good. But the world cup is about more than that... We certainly couldn't do the mass parties in the streets... My experiences of watching Football ins anything close to a fans fest in England as always seen trouble break out of some description... Didn't see any in SA... Just lots of people loving it up Despite the odd group of English singing songs and not socialising... I think 96 was great from our prospective. I wonder what it was like from a foreign prospective... It's when they're abroad that England fans are truly embarrassing. I will never, ever travel to watch England. I don't want to take even the smallest risk of being associated with them. I made the mistake of going near them once or twice and regretted it... Although I must say there was no behaviour problems in the ground in Rustenbugh, is more in the bars and attitudes etc being giving out... We are so bitter, negative and nasty as a group of people when abroad... Totally different then all the other nations there... Met so many cool people from about 15 different countries... I must of met a handful of decent English people I wanted to spend any time with... Edited July 18, 2010 by oafc0000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
