This was the mantra of the 1990s. Alongside Kevin Keegan, those five words did more to rehabilitate the image of football supporters in Newcastle, than anything else. They showed that the endemic racism of the National Front days was a past generation’s problem - not ours. To hear fellow fans chanting Tommy Robinson’s name along with other sectarian bollocks at last night’s match was a horrible shock to the system. Racism and the division Tommy Robinson stands for has no place in the modern game, and to hear it from our supporters - who for the past few months have been praying for a buy out by an Arab Sheikh - is embarrassing. It is absolutely guaranteed that any takeover from the Middle East will involve muslims, and let’s not forget the amazing muslim players who have worn the famous black and white. Before you say “not all muslims…”, that’s what *they* always say.
NUFC Fans United condemns this behaviour in the strongest possible terms, and requests that Newcastle United does the same. This language and lack of tolerance has no place in the modern game. We urge our fellow fans (especially at home games) to report offensive chanting by texting “HELP” with your seat location to 60070.
