RenfrewBlue Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Apparently the organisers of the Rugby World cup have decided to put bagpipes on the banned list for the venues. The SRU are looking at the decision, which probably means bugger all. Total s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolhibby Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) That's outrageous. Have Tweeted my disgust to the RWC. The article talks about the pipes in the same category as a Vuvusela. Quite frankly if it's taught in the British Army it should be good enough for the RWC. Hopefully this is just blown out of proportion. J Edited September 16, 2015 by Bristolhibby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffer Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 They're not banned. They're on the restricted items list - the same as every other musical instrument. You can take them in but you may be asked to stop if you're deemed to be spoiling the experience for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an official source for the "Restricted Items"? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 It's good decision. The players can't hear it as the noise does not travel. The only people who hear are the unfortunates who are sitting near the pipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Are pipers banned at Murrayfield ? Don't know. Massed pipe and drums are great. I practiced side drum for a few years in a pipe band. Never made it to competition but played during march passing. Single pipers, the sound goes right through me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Not been to Murrayfield for years so not sure myself. You hear them at Hampden all the time so I wondered "why not Murrayfield" and therefore "why not in England" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Blackheart Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Not banned at Murrayfield as far as I know. You do hear them. People just clap along, but don't really sing anything apart from "Scotland, Scotland", etc. The Murrayfield wave is soul-destroying. However, I enjoyed the match v Italy apart from that. Nice to see us smash someone for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
