A petition to ban supporters who shouted racist chants

Postby StagsForLIFE » Wed Aug 29, 2018 1:59 pm

I just started the petition "Mansfield Town FC: Lifetime bans for racist Mansfield Town supporters" and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.

My goal is to reach 100 signatures and I need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here:

https://chn.ge/2oil1IT

Let's get it signed.

Thanks.

I get the reason behind it, but wouldn't it be best getting in touch with Alan Lakin, who could liase with his West Brom equivalent so that CCTV footage could be seen, and the people identified?

I'm sure that will happen anyway but the fans voices are always the loudest .

Anyone been on the Facebook page for this petition? Be careful this afternoon that you don't sustain a head injury, cos King's Mill's neurosurgeons are all busy posting on there!

As an Anglo-Saxon I'm just mighty relieved that i've got Martin Sperry et al to defend me. One of England's finest LOL

That's the conclusion I came to as well. EDL aren't racist apparently.

All mention of this appears to have been deleted from the Facebook group now. Some very iffy individuals in that group.

Obviously i agree with the sentiment but is this not a bit vigilante? We have laws of the land to deal with racism. (Un)fortunately everyone has the right to offend, its freedom of speech.

I hate racism and the far right - this seems like censorship.

I've just signed this out of decency - if it can't reach 100 then humanity is gone.

In fact I even think WBA should be made aware of it, it was their fans that were targeted after all. However, I'd hope that West Mids Police and both football clubs would be aware of it anyway.

As for facebook, I'm not on it but if it enables ficko bigots to identify themselves then so be it.

When I saw the words Tommy Robinson , EDL and racists in the same sentence I thought , here we go .
People are entitled to have their own beliefs and opinion but if they can't see that what was chanted last night was wrong then it's no surprise they have reacted the way have . No doubt there will be a few out there regretting their actions and pooping themselves

Its allowed me to understand who to avoid at any future away games!

The constant 'Don't believe what the mainstream media reports about their hero Tommy Robinson' is beyond me. I just dont get it, makes me happy I moved into the city.

Id normally tend to agree but i think that it was the malice that it was done in.

It can also be seen as being a bit 'leftie' that's the stick that those with an agenda like to poke with but I think it's more a matter of decency and generally being fed up with bigotry of any kind, whatever your race or religion. Personally I'm sick to the back teeth with it all.

It wasn't 'banter' last night, for me it was very much meant to offend those within range of it.

Nobody's being censored AWC. They have the right to say what they want within the law. The bit they don't like is when others exercise their right to point out what utter buffoons they are

Done.

I was embarrassed by the moronic, foul-mouthed and often racist chants emanating from a bunch of so-called Stags fans near to where I was sat (stood) at the Hawthorns.

They were fuffing and cuffing throughout the game, regardless of the the many young children in their midst.

Shameful.

These people have no place at our club, they have no place in football.

Done and shared on Twitter. Hopefully will add a few extra names on there. Not likely many though - I'm not popular.
