fans taunted over london bombingas

Upset QPR fans left the ground early
Police have launched an investigation after Queens Park Rangers fans were taunted about the London bombings.
The club's supporters were subjected to chants including, "You're just a town full of bombers" by Hull City fans.

Hull City chairman Adam Pearson, apologised to QPR and promised to ban anyone found to be involved in the abuse during the game on Saturday.

Police said a 21-year-old man from East Hull, arrested for racist chanting, was fined and banned from football matches.

Some upset QPR fans left the KC Stadium before the end of the game.

We came out of the ground in tears

Both Hull City and Humberside Police are studying CCTV footage to identify those responsible.

One QPR fan, called Val, who was at the game, told BBC News: "Suddenly the Hull fans started shouting songs about the London bombings.

"It was really upsetting. We came out of the ground in tears. I couldn't believe it."

Hull's police commander Ch Supt Sean White, said: "I fully agree with the sentiments of anger and disgust.

"We're talking about 30 to 40 shameless cowards who made these chants towards the end of the game. We're just not going to tolerate them.

"We did intervene and made a number of arrests on Saturday. It has brought a great deal of shame to Hull City.

"What I really need is the support of the public. While we know their faces we don't know all of their names."

'Unbelievably ignorant'

A Humberside Police spokesman said a number of people were removed from the ground by stewards.

Mr Pearson told The Times newspaper: "I've been told the fans chanted, 'You're a town full of bombers,' but I didn't hear any of the chants.

"Obviously, if the allegations are true then we, as a club, completely abhor this sort of behaviour and those responsible will be dealt with accordingly - and that means banning them."

Later on the QPR official website he said: "On behalf of the club I would like to unreservedly apologise to all QPR supporters who were subjected to this unbelievably ignorant and distressing chant."

 

Typical Hull

A backward s*it hole of a place,with moronic fans,many of whom have jumped on the bandwagon.Talk about a 4th division side suddenly thinking they are top dogs,makes me sick,can't wait to play em again

And what a disgusting chant,07/07 & 21/07 wasn't just an attack on London, it was an attack on Britain.

Really they should be ashamed,they won't be though because they are brain dead muthaf*ckers.

QPR are the most arrogant fans i have ever experienced but they don't deserve that
