The FA have today confirmed that there are no plans to ban vuvuzelas from Wembley, despite a raft of Premier League clubs having this week forbidden fans from bringing the instruments to their grounds.
Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Birmingham City are prominent among the top-flight and Championship clubs who do not want to see, or hear, the instrument's distinctive droning wail this season.
But Premier League new boys Blackpool, in contrast, are encouraging fans to take vuvuzelas to Bloomfield Road.
And fans attending the Community Shield fixture between Chelsea and Manchester United on August 8 will also be allowed to take vuvuzelas to Wembley Stadium, although the FA's stance could be reviewed depending on reaction after the game.
