Much better would be if they designated a certain area/stand where musical instruments were allowed.

I agree. It's been all over the meedja & it's being presented like an attempt to undermine our British way of life! QLD police gaffer said on Sky there's been a long standing ban on musical instruments & the trumpeter (by his own admission) actually was warned before being ejected. He said he'd been told it was no go in the morning session, had another crack in the afternoon so, IMHO, deserves what he got.
I'm pretty ambivalent (at best) to musical instruments at sports grounds anyway. Our England band who constantly played
The Great Es-fugging-cape at football matches were a national embarrassment.
