Keep support positive on Sunday
From the official Chelsea FC website:
Chelsea’s Premier League derby against Tottenham Hotspur is as ever one of our most anticipated matches of the season, and we are looking forward to a passionate encounter against big rivals.
Our supporters have a big part to play in encouraging the team and creating an exciting atmosphere as we look to make it four wins a row, and we would like to remind fans of their responsibilities in keeping support positive.
Although there has been significant improvement in recent seasons, a small minority of Chelsea supporters have in the past tarnished this derby by using antisemitic chanting, noises and gestures, including the Y-word, offering the justification of opposition fans using those terms as a form of identity.
Our stance on this remains clear – there is no place for such behaviour at Chelsea Football Club, regardless of its use by fans of other clubs.
Discriminatory actions or language have no place anywhere in football or society and Chelsea is a club that actively celebrates our diversity. As supporters, we ask that you share our vision of a club and a game free from discrimination that is open to all.
Fans are also reminded there are measures and strong sanctions in place against offenders to tackle other anti-social and criminal behaviours such as entering the pitch without permission, carrying or using smoke bombs or pyrotechnics, throwing objects and drug use.
Reporting anti-social or discriminatory behaviour
If you witness this, Tottenham ask that you send a text anonymously to 07537404821 – within your message please identify the location in which the bad behaviour is taking place (BLOCK, ROW, SEAT) in order for the safety officer to view the incident via the extensive cameras around the stadium. A team may also attend.
