One of 3 reasons why my family don't go anymore is because of the Airhorns.

 

Why don't they take some earplugs? I took some of these last year, and they were fine. They did hand out some crappy pink ones last year, not sure about last night, but they were about as useful as a chcolate fireguard.

Perhaps the other two reasons will have more substance. :lol:

Easy way to get round the noise of airhorns is to use ear plugs so that's not a problem. Personally I love all the noise and airhorns are what generate all the atmosphere at Cardiff.

Just got back from the local motor accessories shop and got 2 spanking new non inflammable ones for £8.99 each :shock::shock: .

 

A bit late for this years GP obviously, but I got my non-inflammable air cannisters from Halfords @ £9.99 each.

 

Should have saved your petrol!! They were selling them in the Stadium shop for £8 :lol::lol::lol:

They always say they've banned airhorns, every year, we always have this discussion a day or two before Cardiff.

 

They won't stop you taking them in.

Wrong :P

 

So many people I saw forced to waste theres outside the gates and then put'em in the big wheelie bins after :lol:

i never got stopped - and I had a backpack as well - nor did I see anyone at gate 5 entrance get stopped. Maybe it was just in the sections where they knew the troublemakers would be....... :wink::wink:

If anybody went to Gelsekirchen last year , you will remember they did the same there and the atmosphere in the Stadium was.....AWFUL..the lack of atmosphere made us decide not to go back this year..So we will have to use those things that you blow in..... :rolleyes:

 

It was a bit flat after Right Said Fred had finished. :lol:

 

Believe it or not Sandie took her Gelsenkichen blowy thing to Cardiff this year. :rolleyes::lol:

Yes, I remember this concern being raised since 2001. There's also a ban on food and drink, umbrellas and number of other things.

Some people were queueing to have their bags searched when we got to the stadium this year. There was another security chappy less than 10 feets away with no queue. We simple walked past him with him simple glancing at us. We must have all looked pure, sweet and innocent. Why people were queueing is still a mystery though. :blink:

I must say that I hate these air horns. If anything, they spoil the atmosphere. Why oh why can't You see that it is much more fun for everyone involved to sing and chant for Your favorite riders. Air horns are just for the lazy bones, just push the button and be louder than anyone around You.

 

I am sure the atmosphere would be even better if those fans would open their mouth instead of just playing that little gas bottle.

 

Here in Germany we had those airhorns as well, but a few years ago the selling of those with the gas was banned. They were found to cause damage to the ozon layer and were banned for that reason. I am happy , nobody misses them. If You want bring musical instruments instead, I often go to ice hockey in the winter and the fans have drums, even trumpets, and they sing and shout all through the the game. THAT creates an atmosphere, I can tell You, not those stupid air horns that only get on Your nerves.

But the thing is, Bavarian, everyone will have lost their voice by heat 4. :wink:
