Seven Premier League football clubs have told fans not to bring vuvuzelas to their games when the new season gets under way next month.

The controversial horns provided the soundtrack to this summer's World Cup in South Africa - but they will not be welcome in north London.

Tottenham Hotspur were first to post a message on their website confirming the ban, at the club's White Hart Lane stadium.

It read: "We are concerned that the presence of the instruments within the stadium pose unnecessary risks and could impact on the ability of all supporters to hear any emergency safety announcements.

"We are very proud of the fantastic atmosphere that our supporters produce organically at White Hart Lane and we are all very much looking forward to this continuing into the forthcoming season."

Within hours of Spurs announcing their intention to ban the vuvuzela, their north London rivals followed suit.

A statement on Arsenal.com read: "Further to their hugely debated involvement at this summer’s World Cup Finals in South Africa, Arsenal Football Club has decided to forbid the use of vuvuzelas within Emirates Stadium with immediate effect.

"The decision has been taken to ensure the enjoyment and safety of supporters on match days, which is of paramount importance to the club."

The Premier League has so far refused to implement a widespread ban on the horns, leaving it up to individual clubs to decide for themselves.

Sky News contacted all 20 Premier League clubs about their stance on vuvuzelas.

Birmingham City, Everton, Fulham, Liverpool and West Ham United ansdsaid they have also banned the horns.

Eight clubs - Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Stoke City, West Bromwich Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Wigan Athletic and Aston Villa - were undecided.

But Blackpool, Chelsea and Manchester City - while not wanting to encourage fans to use vuvuzelas at their grounds - said they have no plans to ban them.

If the feedback outside White Hart Lane is anything to go by, fellow fans will quickly make known their views if anyone starts blowing the horns at matches.

One fan said: "They make a horrible racket and I'm delighted Spurs have taken this stance."

Fucks sake..I had a horrible feeling we wouldn't ban them

I pity the poor bastard that starts blowing one of them within punching distance of me this season..

hope no one starts playing them near me, will end up shoving them were the sun doesnt shine

Absolutely bloody ridiculous we are not banning them. Is that the only way we'll be making noise? It will ruin the fucking atmosphere as all the singing will not be heard.

Was just about to say that, it's only a matter of time before someone get's fucking knocked out for blowing one of them down someones ear.

I would like our statement to look like this:

A statement on MCFC.com read: "Further to their hugely debated involvement at this summer’s World Cup Finals in South Africa, Manchester City Football Club has decided to forbid the use of vuvuzelas within Eastlands Stadium with immediate effect.

"The decision has been taken to ensure the home supporters do not look like pricks on match days, which is of paramount importance to the club."

Some of the people you see on Match days really don't need a Vuvuzela to help them look like a prick

This is an outrage!

Since when were West Ham a 'Top Prem Club'?!

There is a small sarcasm bell ringing in the back of my head, but, singing??? Not when I've been lately has there been singing in the 3rd tier, any fuclin atmosphere would be welcome.

I heard the other day that a dyslexic tried to blow a zulus vulva. I guess he didn't go down very well.

I can just see the club giving them out to the all new singing and dancing family stand.

It will sound like an England U21 game :-(

CITY - Please ban the vuvuzela's. Nuff said.

I'll take my matabooboo.

Joking aside,

Was there any Mancunian stupid enough to waste his money on a trip to South Africa for the World Cup ?

Come on , hands up.

Who went over there ?

Bring back the strap.

for all those stupid enough to blow one at COMS.

I swear Id fucking lose it if some cunt blew one of them near me.

In fact Im starting to get wound up already - we would look like right royal twats if the atmosphere at COMS was coming from a load of stupid fucking horns.

We could get a drum as well..

Sheikh Mansour has probably set up a sweat shop in the Far East to churn out millions of the things in City colours. Great for global branding and we do have to get round these UEFA Financial regs somehow you know.

I recon somone could make a fortune selling green & yellow ones.

Its actually a smart move by the clubs that didn't ban them! With the negative media attention they got over in the UK almost all fans will know that they'd be asking to get their shit kicked in by bringing one to the ground so nobody will, therefore us, chelsea and blackpool will not have to worry about it and we can say we didn't censor our fans by banning them.

City will give them out willy nilly outside the ground come the start of the season,GC and the crew will think it's a good idea.
