The vuvuzela: A good or bad thing for the World Cup

I'm a fan of African football and the vuvuzela isn't new to me, so I am not surprised to hear it for ninety minutes every game.

I am a little surprised that it is taking over and I also have to admit, it is starting to annoy me a little. So we thought we would ask what you think, because we are getting a lot of emails and comments into the site from fans that appear to be getting very annoyed.

So, to see what the general feeling is, we've launched a poll. You will see it if you move your eyes to the right. Is the vuvuzela a good thing or a bad thing? There is no middle ground, because there isn't one and they are not all of a sudden going to be banned.

I've also seen a mini vuvuzela today, so even if they did try and stop supporters bringing them into the ground, there is no way they would be able to stop the small ones entering the stadium, but there is one thing shouldn't forget and that is, the vuvuzela is part of South African football and the World Cup is taking place in South Africa.

So, if you have a moment, please vote - good or bad. I think it will be interesting to see the results.

Poll Results

We have closed the poll as we reached our target number of 1,000 and the results are in. Between 2pm and 10pm today 493 people voted that the vuvuzela was a good thing and 898 voted that it was a bad thing.
