Kick It Out... Club News This season marks the 25-year anniversary of Kick It Out. To celebrate, Barnsley Football Club and Reds in the Community are dedicating this weekend's Coventry City fixture to their work. Continue reading on the official site...
Yet some fans can sit on an official coach as late as January this year, loudly singing: "If you wear a fvcking turban you're a ****" over and over, and NOT get kicked off said coach.
The problem being theyll have a duty of care to make sure they get there and back. Be uproar regardless of circumstance if they left them at the side of the road.
Heard someone at Walsall talking to his mate at half time in the toilets, I didn't catch the full conversation but it was along the lines of. "I'm not racist and I don't mind us having some play for us but I'm glad all our fans are white"
Probably the same people that sing “town full of p*******” at the Rotherham fans. Barnsley seriously needs a heavy influx of Asians to diversify the town and teach these people that we are all the same. It’s happened to Sheffield and Rotherham and people get along just fine, in fact they are both much more vibrant places to live and shop as a result.
Agree. Also may be a problem identifying em to club. What I do know is, if that happened on most, if not all, of the independent travel clubs, and they did encounter such crap, it would not be tolerated and they would be banned from future travel. Do the official busses have organisers on the bus. If so, it’s down to them to identify the offenders and report back. To attempt to throw them off the bus could lead to serious repercussions. Or violence. Especially if minors.
We do have fans of diffrent races though not many but we do. I've seen black and mixed race fans at oakwell not to mention a man who has adopted the town and has done some great work in the community, Bruce dyer. I also understand his lad plays for our accademy and regularly attends games.
