Its never too late to stop the Vuvuzelas. I'll vote for the Political Party that has an "off - shore Vuvuzela policy option on the table! What a dreadful legacy the South African World Cup has past on to the sporting world. The damn things have alrady made their appearance at the Kanga Cup finals and Premier League games last week. And it wont just be Football that is infected with this noise pollution device.
Tottenahm Hotspur has got it right! Now, what about Capital Football????

Tottenham Hotspur has banned vuvuzelas from its White Hart Lane ground, saying the noisy plastic trumpets pose a risk to public safety.
The English Premier League club banned the long plastic horns, which were a major talking point at the World Cup in South Africa, after consulting police and licensing authorities.
"We are concerned that the presence of the instruments within the stadium pose unnecessary risks to public safety and could impact on the ability of all supporters to hear any emergency safety announcements," the London club said.
"We're very proud of the fantastic atmosphere our supporters produce organically at White Hart Lane," Spurs added in a statement on their website.
