oafc0000 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 We had a number of fan fests here in Manchester for the England games which went off without a major problem. Do you think the fact they didn't sell alcohol might of had something to do with that ? There was no restrictions on alcohol in the fans fests or stadiums in SA...

There may even have been a couple of incidents at a fan park in the utopia that is South Africa that you didn't see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than an incident of over crowding at the concert before the start of the world cup I didn't hear about any trouble... Oh apparently there was a bit of tension for the SA vs Mexico when people got turned away but didn't hear about any arrests etc/// And the meida where ready and waiting to jump on any incident...

PlayItLivo Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 They have been banned for the wrong reasons. Ban them because we shouldn't need to use an instrument from another countries footballing culture to build our atmosphere. Vuvus and African football seem suited with their flair-tastic football. Vuvus and League One hoofball don't seem to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing what I was told would happen before I went against the realities of being there, I found a very different country... and that included a visit to the townships...

Bertie_Dugger Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 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... Didn't have them at our last World Cup and everything went OK.
