Town Issue Section 6 Safety Message and Reiterate Anti-Racism Stance - Ipswich Town News
Town are asking fans not to move to Section 6 of the Sir Bobby Robson Stand if they haven’t got tickets for that area and have also reiterated their stance regarding racist and other offensive or anti-social behaviour.
The club say fans have been gravitating towards Section 6, these days the noisiest area of the stand, at recent home games despite their designated seats being elsewhere.
"The noise and atmosphere generated in Section 6 and in the Sir Bobby Robson Stand in general has been fantastic,” Town secretary Stuart Hayton told the club site.
"We have had reports though that some supporters are moving across into Section 6 when they have not got a ticket in that part of the stadium and that is causing some safety concerns and annoyance for fellow supporters who can’t get to their own seat.
"We ask supporters to remain in the seat they are allocated because the safety of all fans is of paramount importance to the football club.”
Hayton has also restated the club’s zero-tolerance policy regarding racism and other offensive chanting with complaints having been received regarding chants at Luton earlier in the season and also more recently.
"The football world has pushed out the message again this week that racism and any other offensive behaviour or comments will not be tolerated in the game,” he added.
"Our fans are among the best behaved in the country and have been for many years but with recent events in Bulgaria and in the FA Cup game at Haringey, it’s timely that we reiterate Ipswich Town has zero tolerance to any anti-social behaviour and we will act accordingly if we need to.”
The Stamp It Out text number, 07834 439229, is available for all supporters to discreetly report any incident they feel needs attention, allowing the club to investigate.
