FA Fine Telford £6K For Discriminatory Chants

This from AFC Telford:

AFC Telford United can confirm we have been fined £6,000 by the Football Association after discriminatory chants by fans towards a female member of Kings Lynn Town’s staff during our National League North fixture in August 2022.

The incident occurred during the game and involved a small section of spectators on the East Terrace who were using discriminatory chants of an abusive and insulting nature that included reference, whether expressed or implied, to gender.

AFC Telford United Football Club will not tolerate any behaviour of this kind.  We pride ourselves on providing an inclusive, family friendly environment at the New Bucks Head and the huge number of activities our Foundation already do in the community in respect of equality, diversity and supporting areas of the community in need. Anyone found to behaving in such a manner may be committing a criminal offence, will be reported to the Police, will be ejected and permanently banned from attending any games or events at the ground.
