.. FA let real fans and game down again (05/12/02)


So the FA chicken out of taking any action against racists and thugs again.

The incidents at the Forest game have gone unpunished.

During the game loads of chocolate bars were thrown at Alan Rogers, holding up the game, and City fans were subjected to racial abuse and objects being thrown down onto them and being spat at.

Despite many City fans writing in with their experiences and an investigation taking place, the FA have decided not to take any action, saying

"Following an isolated incident during the Nottingham Forest-Leicester City game on 27 October when some objects were thrown onto the pitch, we can confirm that The FA has received a full response to its enquiries from Nottingham Forest."

"The FA is satisfied with the club's response and the measures it has subsequently introduced and there will therefore be no further action."

The FA has totally failed to acknowledge the treatment of City fans pelted by stuff from the upper tier and the spitting, and totally ignored the racism, despite it being "Kick it out week" and it being well publicised nationally after the game, including an official complaint from LCFC.

We want to know what action Forest have taken to ensure this doesn't happen again...what measures have they introduced?

And we want to know why The FA are yet again ignoring racism in the game.

And why they have the balls to issue the statement about an "isolated" incident when there was a hell of a lot more going on in that game that LCFC and individual fans have reported.

How about the suited morons from the FA coming and sitting with us and a bunch of Asian City fans next time and seeing how they like being spat at and pelted with bottles and food as well as having to put up with racist chants and bananas thrown onto the pitch.

They've bottled it. Totally. Again.
