Excellent statement from PVFC.

 

Extra well done to the deadheads. You do not represent me or my club.

[valetillidye]

well done PVFC

 

I don't want to be associated with these people

[Memphis]

"Port Vale would strongly urge supporters who enjoy taking part in racially-motivated abuse not to attend games. You are not welcome at Vale Park."

 

Or anywhere in civilised society!

[JOHNNYAITCH]

Well done PVFC..it's unacceptable whatever the reasons for it.."mindless behaviour " indeed

 

I'm a bit disappointed that someone took this to Kick it Out...let the club have a go first and then escalate it

[CAVALIER]

I don't understand why the other thread was closed about this topic . Well done Vale and shame on the idiots.

[Howjy04]

Well done clever ***ks,enjoy the game from Burslem Park or better still Longton Park.

I'm glad somebody has taken it KIO.

 

That's what they are there for. A strong stance is needed to call the bluff of the idiots.

does anyone know if anyone was ejected or arrested for these witty dittys? if not then it would seem the police and stewards took a different view than some folk on here. no one is foaming at the mouth on bradfords forums about it.

[Wise Owl]

These morons want locking up for as long as poss.

Sadly, Bradford supporters are probably used to it. That doesn't justify the behaviour though.

 

Anybody that is seeking to condone or laugh off this behaviour needs to find a mirror and have a word with themselves.

I noticed that the first two posts were given thumbs down's.(now changed)Would the person / people who gave these two posts the thumbs down have been involved in the chants reported?

 

Im guessing yes.

"It saddens me that all the hard work that PVFC and support groups and fans have been undermined by a few numpties who chose to be racist on Saturdays game. Do us all a favour and stay away you shame me the Club and the democracy we live in. We will not tolerate it"

 

Well said Smurf!

If CCTV and lip reading can be used, I hope they're able to look at the first block of the Railway paddock nearest the Police tower, up towards the wall that separates the Paddock and the Stand. That's where it sounded like it was coming from to me.

[Vital Spark]

It's not just the racist behaviour it's also the general moronic goading and taunting that also needs stamping out. Because of these plebs we are making enemies up and down the country making away travel frosty and less enjoyable for genuine fans.

 

It wasn't so long ago that fans from other clubs actively supported us whilst in the shadows of administration, yet all we do to thank them is act like abusive cavemen.

[The Wonder of You]

Good move by Vale, anyone that thinks it's OK to use chants that are in any form racist deserves everything they get. Dare say some will now be fearing the early morning knock on the door! Sorry but if you insist on using form that was rife in the sixties and seventies then you reap what you sow!
