Wales On Sunday putting the boot in

[The Lone Gunman]

What a slur on us,i have been going since 68 an never encountered City fans being racists in any way what so ever.

Are you serious?

[jeepster]

Are you serious?

Yes,why?

[The Lone Gunman]

Yes,why?

I find such a claim utterly astonishing.

I don't for a minute believe there was any racist chanting at Reading yesterday. Sounds like utter nonsense to me. However, since the mid-Seventies when I began following City, I've encountered racism at City matches on countless occasions.

In fairness, I've never heard anything from City fans, but I guess individual experiences etc. I don't doubt that there are occasional isolated incidents, like there will be at every club around the world, unfortunately.

I have however heard racism at one Wales game, which sticks out so much as I've never heard racism at a football match prior to that and since. Don't doubt it happens, but I also, have never heard any City fans being racist.

Thankfully, it's something that has gradually reduced as time has passed. However, I find it genuinely amazing that any City fans of long standing claim to have never heard or witnessed racism at matches. As I said above, I've witnessed it countless times and have even been a victim of it on several occasions, although that was as far back as the Eighties and early-Nineties.

It's something that thankfully seems to be more and more rare, but it's still there. Indeed, the last time I witnessed any racism at a game was as recently as 2017 at Wolves when I heard a black steward being racially abused by a small group of young morons on their way out of the game.

All the lads went home and away with were from different ethnic groups we had a great mix of colour.Still see a few of them now.J ammo came in the canton x recently.

Yes,why?

The thing is Jeeps. Racism does exist in every avenue of life as disgusting as it is. Racists do attend football matches at Every club because its a breeding ground for the far right and their poison. On the positive side I don`t think the City has ever had the racist tones of Millwall, Chelsea, West Ham or Swansea Town in fact I remember vividly racist chants on The Grange End as far back as the 60`s being shouted and slapped down and scraps taking place to end it. On the whole City fans are and have always been better than that, long may it continue.
