Yep, it could mean that Ipswich fans are getting more bigoted, but equally it could mean exactly the opposite, that Town fans are calling it out more. |  |

Ipswich is never going to be like Leeds in the early 80s ... massive over reaction |  |

Racist, homophobic & Xenophobic chants at Fortress PR on the increase on 09:39 - Feb 21 with 2680 views | Swailsey | In all seriousness though, this probably means that more people are reporting issues, rather than the issues themselves increasing. I regularly hear people near me make comments which are homophobic (not chanting to be clear), just, y'know..."get up you massive ...", "f**k off you ...." etc. Comments and looks are exchanged, but it's not always easy to place who said it. Hopefully these things are being called out formally. For instance, someone shouted "you're playing like a f**king girl" last week, and was shut down immediately by the women to his left. People are naive to think this doesn't happen at PR. You hear this sort of crap all the time at the pub, on the train etc. Just casual comments, which are just as damaging. It's being called out? Good. I don't see the problem or any reason for people to be upset about it. [Post edited 21 Feb 2020 9:44]

it hasn't announced an increase in that type of chanting, it's announced an increase in the number of reports. it's really not the same thing. |  |

to be fair, up until sunday, the 'playing like a f**king girl' comment would clearly have been a compliment. |  |

A lack of tolerance of this kind of bullsh1t is WHY we have that reputation. And why the club are acting as they are now. |  |
