Iron lays FA racism charge at Spurs fans
A West Ham fan has laid an official complaint against Spurs after a new video emerged showing the north London fans chanting racist terms at Irons supporters.
The supporter wants to remain anonymous but contacted ClaretandHugh to reveal he had laid an official complaint with both the game’s ruling body and then Kick it Out campaign.
It follows Kevin Kilbane’s complaint to the FA over reports that Hammers followers were using the word “mong” in chants at White Hart on Sunday.
The Hammers fan rold ClaretandHugh: “In the current climate there must be zero tolerance in all cases of racism with the new video showing Spurs fans roaring the words ‘pikey boys’ at Irons fans.
The Show Racism the Red Card campaign says: “Gyppo and Pikey are extremely racist and offensive towards anybody from any of the Traveller groups as both of them have a history of being used to hurt and offend people.
“These words should never be used even if it is towards someone who is not a Gypsy or Traveller.”
