Town Issue Vuvuzela Ban - Ipswich Town News

The vuvuzela, the controversial sound of this summer’s World Cup in South Africa, won’t be coming to Portman Road next season. The Blues have imposed a ban on the plastic horns which have been one of the main talking points of this summer's tournament.

Town's head of safety and security, Mick Warden, told the club site: "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."
