HUDDERSFIELD Town says it has “no plans” to ban the vuvuzela from the Galpharm.
The plastic bugle-type instrument caused dismay among some at the World Cup by replacing chanting with an ear-splitting drone.
TV sound engineers did their best to tweak their broadcasts to cut out the frequency but little could be done to silence them.
Now a string of UK football clubs have come out with vuvuzela bans, but Town will not be among them.
A spokesman for the club said: “The decision comes down to our events panel which is a mixture of representatives of the stadium, club and safety team.
“Nobody has raised the possibility of banning them so far.
“We did use them at the Millwall league game last season – they were given out in the family stand.
“If the situation changes it will be considered by the panel.”
Town are in good company as Wembley also confirmed it had no plans for a ban.
This week has seen a number of Barclays Premier League clubs decide to bar the controversial instruments from their stadia.
More could follow suit before the start of the season, but it appears supporters will be allowed to bring them to Wembley for the Community Shield on August 8.
The FA will gauge the reaction to the playing of vuvuzelas before deciding whether to ban them for future matches, including England’s home internationals.
Tottenham, Arsenal, West Ham, Birmingham, Everton, Fulham, Liverpool and Sunderland have banned them, while a number of npower Football League clubs have done the same.
The reasons given range from fears fans would be unable to hear safety announcements to concerns the trumpets will drown out chanting and singing.
The Premier League said during the World Cup that it would be left to individual clubs to decide whether to outlaw them.
Premier League new boys Blackpool say they’ve been too busy to grapple with the problem of the vuvuzela.
A club spokesman said: “We’ve had plenty of other things occupying the mind with a debut season in the Barclays Premier League to prepare for.
“Any decision will be taken in due course and in consultation with relevant supporter groups.”
A statement added that the club’s previous assertion they are keen to ensure the atmosphere is better than ever “does not necessarily mean that vuvuzelas will be permitted”.
