Town's Anti-Racist Action - Ipswich Town News

Town are taking part in the Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) action this Tuesday with students from schools attending and questionsing players on racism.

Marcus Stewart, Fabian Wilnis and Martijn Reuser are likely to be there with skipper Matt Holland already backing the club's stance against racism: "Everyone should be able to enjoy football no matter what age, race or sex they are — football should unite supporters not cause a division among fans."

The Show Racism the Red Card presentation is organised by Suffolk County Council. Ged Grebby from Show Racism the Red Card said: "The FARE action week is taking place in Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Norway, Yugoslavia and throughout the UK.

This is the second successive season the FARE network has co-ordinated a week of action and fans, ethnic minorities and football clubs in 15 European countries are standing united against racism, xenophobia and intolerance."
