Should whistles be banned in the crowd?

I find it very annoying that people take whistles to games and blow them at the most random times. When you are watching the game at the pub, it can be very hard to distinguish between the ref's whistle and those in the crowd.

It doesn't matter so much at home but in the pub when the sound is not very lod it is a problem

if your going to ban something because its annoying and distracting then you may as well as ban mobile phones from the stadiums.....

Might be time to have this discussion again after the scumbag Storm supporters tried to influence the game with a whistle that sounded a lot like the referee's whistle at a crucial moment.

I'm normally a big supporter of the "Raiders fans love a whinge" trope, but I have to agree with this. Watched it live and thought it was poor form.

If the players can’t tell the difference between a whistle being blown at ground level right next to them and a whistle being blown somewhere in the crowd that’s their own fault.
