Newcastle join the procession banning the vuvuzela

Newcastle have become the latest Barclays Premier League club to ban vuvuzelas from their home ground.

Tottenham, Arsenal, Birmingham, Everton, Fulham, West Ham and West Brom have already barred the South African horns, which were a feature of this summer's World Cup.

A statement on the Magpies' website, said: "The club's position, aside from them being an item not permitted according to ground regulations, is that the vast majority of fans do not wish them to be heard within the ground."
