I do hope that we will have none of this nonsense at the Crown next season, or at any other English football stadium for that matter (Scotland is different - they may be useful there to drown out the noise of any bagpipes and the whingeing noises of drunken Jocks).

I don't have the time to watch matches on TV, so I've been banking on listening to the radio. I have now stopped that because I have not been able to cope with the incessant noise. Those idiots in South Africa should be reminded that it is the World Cup in South Africa, not the World Cup of South Africa.

Quite simply, it is an absolute disgrace and the sooner this noise is stopped the better. It offers no entertainment nor in any way adds to the atmosphere but succeeds only in diminishing the concentration of the players with the result that so far, this has been the worst World Cup in my memory - and I go back a few years.
