Bert Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 Link. Nine Blackpool fans have been banned by the club after racist and homophobic chanting during the Lancashire derby match with Preston North End.Club officials reacted after complaints about the behaviour of a minority of both sets of fans on Saturday. The nine supporters have been banned from Bloomfield Road for at least 12 months, the club said. Lancashire Police said they arrested two people on suspicion of a racial public order offence during the game. Complaints poured in to a phone-in on BBC Radio Lancashire from supporters angry at some of the chants heard during the game. 'Family environment' Club secretary Matt Williams said the club was taking the matter seriously. "We're not going to tolerate any kind of chanting - either homophobic or racist," said Mr Williams. "We pride ourselves at Bloomfield Road being a family environment for people to come and enjoy football. "We're fully behind the Let's Kick Racism out of Football campaign and our manager Simon Grayson is a patron of the Show Racism the Red Card scheme. "We don't want it, there is no place in society for it - let alone at a football match." All i can say is that it serves them right and i'm glad that this has been acted on.
The People's Hero Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 He had to bring the bumboys in to it, didn't he?
Simi Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 Racist chanting is not on. But it's good to see that the families are the ones that need protecting.
Maybes Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 I wonder what they where chanting. Glad they have been banned racist chanting shouldn't be tolerated.
ASH17LCFC Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 If they was in Spain or Italy they would have got away with it no problem. Forest this season were chanting town full of p**kies to us. Did anything happened to them ?
Zingari Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 i'm not racist, some of my best friends are tangerine
The People's Hero Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 Some of my best friends are racers, althletes and RAC'ers. I'm RACist anyway, I much prefer the AA. Far better. And they'll get you off the booze.
filbertway Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 I love how everyone is condemning the racism and casually letting the homophobic chanting pass, surely it's the same
lcfc_jme Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 I don't condone racism. But why do they gays always have to get their knickers in a twist before crying and ruining their make-up when it's just light-hearted banter? Queens.

Yes visual basic esque righting.

lcfc_jme Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 ... that was MEANT to be ironic, right? You mean to say that's not an accurate description of the gays??
The People's Hero Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 Being gay isn't all about swanning around and being camp, there is a fair amount of butt-sex with other men involved too.
filbertway Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 Being gay isn't all about swanning around and being camp, there is a fair amount of butt-sex with other men involved too. And dipping their meat in peoples pints.
ASH17LCFC Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 That's one reason why gays shouldn't be allowed into the army. Because if we're in battle, is he going to be looking at the enemy, or is he going to be looking at me and going "Ooh. He looks tasty in his uniform". And I'm not homophobic, all right? Come round, look at my CDs. You'll see Queen, George Michael, Pet Shop Boys. They're all bummers. Classic Gareth Keenan
Leicfox Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 Forest this season were chanting town full of p**kies to us. Did anything happened to them ? I'd imagine thats what the Blackpool lot were singing to Preston fans.
lavrentis Posted 17 March 2008 Posted 17 March 2008 I'd imagine thats what the Blackpool lot were singing to Preston fans. From when I was there, its not that bad
