| Dear Supporter, We should firstly like to thank our fans for their cooperation following our previous communication on this matter ahead of the Brighton away fixture, at which there were no reports of homophobic chanting. Ahead of tomorrow’s home fixture with West Ham United, we will not be complacent and are therefore reminding supporters that the Club takes a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination. Our stewards will once again be wearing body cams to identify any individuals involved in unacceptable chanting so that the Club can take the strongest possible action, in line with our Sanctions & Banning Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes the Dominic Solanke chant with reference to Mikel Arteta and any use of the term ‘Rent Boy’ – which the Crown Prosecution Service considers a homophobic slur and hate crime. Stewards will identify those instigating and participating in any such chants – including those covering their mouths. Abuse and intimidation towards our stewards will not be tolerated either, with bans issued where necessary. We are justly proud of our superb and loyal support, home and away. However, we all have a responsibility to act as ambassadors of Tottenham Hotspur and discrimination of any kind has no place at our Club. We look forward to seeing our fans back at our home stadium, supporting the team in a manner that all our fans can enjoy and be a part of. |
