[Norder]

The last time I witnessed real time racism was at Gillingham when a couple of the local morons started doing monkey chants every time Wrighty got the ball.

We were in the Gills hospitality box suited and booted so these two morons didn't realise we were Burnley fans. They did when one of our contingent leant over two stalls and cracked the first nut job over the bonce with an empty wine bottle.
Reaction? Rapturous applause from those around and "blind eye syndrome" from the yellow jackets. Perhaps that's the answer?
In response to your rather acquiescent approach Norder, I find the abuse the likes of Sterling get just for being black is pretty bloody awful. More wine bottles perhaps?

could shout them down - turn our backs - or other - BT....but really, the clubs have clout enough, it's their property - their players - they can say who enters or doesn't....problem solved - and all without our involvement.

No idea sinkov. The vast majority of football fans are IMHO in need of a brain transplant.

That's as maybe BT, but the overwhelming majority of football fans do not abuse black players because of the colour of their skin, although they may well abuse them because they're ****e.

My name is Alex Weeks and I am a third year student studying sociology at the University of Roehampton. I am writing a thesis on racism at football grounds and whether enough is being done to combat it. I have created this short survey in order to gather data on the issue. It should take approximately 5-10 minutes. This survey is completely anonymous and you can withdraw at any time. The purpose of this consent form is to make you aware of your rights within this research. I would be extremely grateful if you were able to complete it. Thank you.

Hi Alex. Survey done.

The match I particularly recall was an FA Cup tie I attended in the 1980’s at Maine Road between Manchester City and Watford. The target of the racist abuse was John Barnes and he was subject to monkey chants and banana throwing. I doubt it was reported in the press at the time.
