Has anyone ever had experience of how our stewards handle this?
Last thing I would want is passion to go from SOL stands but had some bloke around us chatting complete nonsense all game about what he got up to at the weekend. Hardly watching the game.
Then he made a racist comment when one of their lads went down injured saying he looked like he’d been shot then said “all the b****ies do”
Should have said something myself but he was a good foot taller and wider than me 😆 (no excuse I know)
 

This is the problem if people sit where they want
Least they could track him down afterwards
If you have seat and row number maybe worth a shout out to Chris
Other people may also report it ,if one comes forward and no one else does,not a lot they can do tbf

I've always wondered what happens in these situations. Is it a case of 'I didn't say that' when it's after the event.

Tough one like as I don't blame some people for not calling these arseholes out in person if they're fueled with booze etc.
 
Yer have seat number and row. I did wonder if they could sort of keep an eye on the area in future if they had a heads up. We were thinking of taking my mates 5 y.o. for his first game and pleased we didn’t.

Ended up in a bit of a scuffle at a game champ relegation season in east stand after telling two blokes to pack it in. Club done nowt.

I hear stuff fairly often but don’t bother now. Last time I reported something to Steve Neil he had turned his emails off. I’m not going to do his job for him.

Probably a bit late now, but the advice from the club is:

If you hear or see any racist abuse at the Stadium of Light then you can report this in a number of ways. You can contact your nearest steward in confidence at the time of the incident, or should you wish, you can contact the club to report an incident via telephoning 0371 911 1973 or email [email protected]. Alternatively, you may contact Kick It Out on 0800 169 9414 by emailing [email protected], or by visiting

You can say the word black without*** it’s not taboo. Iwouldn’t find it offensive I’m mixed race, he would be wrong but not racist. Is it racist to say Italian footballers throw themselves to the floor

I get your first point and I’ve been in a similar situation as the racism around my seat is shocking. But I’ve never confronted them as there is a few :lol:
But the second point I don’t get. It doesn’t matter who it was aimed at it’s unacceptable

My experience is first hand bonny lad im married to an Asian and we are muslim.
One particular incident over in Poland among those racist bigoted fucks was a tad hairy and I didn't have time to phone a friend or post a friend.
If people aren't prepared to back up as the slogan goes ' lets kick it out' then they shouldn't cry about it.
 
Was Sunday actually.

And to the lad saying it was a private conversation, I am sure no one wanted to listen but it was canny hard. On a lighter note, one of the blokes claims was he was the one who threw the beach ball for the Darren Bent goal.

They went for a pint on 30” and left the ground at 80” so not sure I would have been “grassing” a particularly loyal fan risking giving the whole club a bad name

Did anyone ask why he brought a Liverpool beach ball and what he was doing in the away end, as that's where it happened iirc
