UPDATE Homophobic (Fashanu) Chant's- Plymouth to Paddington train
at 23:32 30 May 2022

Just to update two convictions have resulted from this (one pleaded guilty, one pleaded not guilty but was found guilty at court). The punishments were relatively minor, which isnt necessarily wrong if lessons have been learned, but both have been banned from PR and attending Ipswich games.

Feel like it sends an important message and glad that taking action results in an outcome. Thanks for all the advice and glad to show that speaking up is the right thing (even when some people's initial reaction even on this forum is to doubt.)

Homophobic (Fashanu) Chant's- Plymouth to Paddington train
at 16:40 4 Nov 2021

Hi all,

Really wish that I didn't have to post this sort of thing but I was wondering if anyone was on the 18:16 train from Plymouth to London Paddington, specifically around carriages C-E. I was on this train, and alongside general anti-social behaviour which caused BTP to be called twice, there were several chants of the homophobic song related to Justin Fashanu from several Ipswich fans. This song was sung several times and despite them being aware it was wrong and some people mentioning it to them they simply did not care.

I have spoken to the club and the police about this and despite managing to get videos/photos/names of these people, I unfortunately didn't get enough evidence for the club or police to do anything about these people. If anyone else saw anything send me a PM or contact the club as I really think these people need to face some kind of punishment and should not be allowed to represent the club (which they were doing in their shirts and singing Ipswich songs).
