By Aston
June 17 2010

Town have said that Vuvuzelas will not be allowed at Portman Road next season, as they are classed as musical instruments which are against the ground regulations The horns, which have been one of the larger talking points of this summers World Cup in South Africa with many saying they ruin the atmosphere will not be allowed at Portman Road.

Town's head of safety and security, Mick Warden: "We have had a couple of enquiries about bringing vuvuzelas to games here next season, but they are classed as a musical instrument and our ground regulations state that no musical instruments are allowed into the stadium for games without permission and that won't be given.

"We have also been contacted by the national charity Deafness Research UK to say that there is evidence that fans risk permanent noise induced hearing loss through the constant use of vuvuzelas."

I agree with the ban on vuvuzelas.
I am South African and i can assure everyone that the Vuvuzela has destroyed the world cup for millions of fans, players cant concentrate and doctors agree that they will cause permanent ear damage.
They are without doubt the worst thing to happen to football in history

I wouldn't say worst, I'd say 2nd worse.

The worst would be Norwich
