Spurs and Arsenal issue joint statement

White Hart Lane - Tottenham Hotspur News

Tottenham and Arsenal are united to determine fans guilty of offensive chanting on Sunday.

A joint statement read: “Both clubs were extremely disappointed to hear the chants from supporters at Sunday’s game.

“Neither club tolerates foul language, racist chanting, homophobic chanting or any anti-social behaviour from its supporters.

“We shall be working closely with each other to identify the individuals involved.”

Under a subheading of ‘Spurs against discrimination’ on their official website, Tottenham called for help from their fans to find the perpetrators.

“We should like to remind all of our supporters that we do not tolerate discrimination of any sort at the club, on the pitch or in the stands,” the statement read.

“If you experience any form of discrimination, help us to eliminate it from football.

“Please report this to the club by texting the matchday control room on 07766 553225 or e-mail us at [email protected] – we will treat your correspondence in strictest confidence.

“You do not have to put up with mindless supporters who are intent on ruining your day, so use the system, report the individuals and let us take it from there.

“The texting service at White Hart Lane has been used to good effect in enabling us to ban people for committing offences on matchdays.

“We have a fantastic atmosphere at the Lane and by working together we can prevent the small minority ruining it for everyone.”
