Arsenal and Birm City have followed the lead of Hotspum and announced that the infamous vuvuzelas will not be welcome in their stadia.
Vuvuzelas were the source of heated debate during the World Cup in South Africa as the droning sound of the instruments became a familiar one throughout the tournament.
"Further to their hugely debated involvement at this summer's World Cup finals in South Africa, Arsenal Football Club has decided to forbid the use of vuvuzelas within Emirates Stadium with immediate effect," a club statement read. "This decision has been taken to ensure the enjoyment and safety of supporters on matchdays, which is of paramount importance to the club."
I totally agree with this ban... :)

Leeds United have since followed suit too.
I reckon most teams will have made the same decision either before the seasons starts, or shortly after the first home game where some idiot is using one.
I was kind of undecided on whether I thought it was good news Leeds banned them. Whilst I can't stand the things, it'd have been funny to see how long one of them lasted inside Elland Road!
