Town Reiterate Stance on Antisocial Behaviour After Racist Chants at Luton - Ipswich Town News

Town have reiterated their stance against anti-social behaviour after reports of racist chants from a group of Blues supporters during the Carabao Cup defeat to Luton at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday evening.

Chants such as "Born in the UK, You’ll never sing that” and "Boris Johnson, he's coming for you” aimed towards the home support were condemned by other Town fans in a lengthy thread on the TWTD Forum yesterday. Luton is well-known for its multicultural make up.

"The facts confirm that our supporters are among the best behaved in the country and have been for many years,” Town secretary Stuart Hayton told the club site.

"That said, we have been informed of alleged racist chants made by a small number of our fans at Kenilworth Road and we are working with Luton on what is an ongoing matter.

"We have shown in the past that we will act strongly against anyone found to have conducted themselves in an offensive or antisocial manner both at games and with comments on social media and that will remain the club’s policy.”
