Brentford investigating reports of fans involved in discriminatory chanting on train after Liverpool game | Football News
Brentford are investigating reports that a group of supporters were involved in discriminatory chanting on a train back to London after their game at Liverpool on Sunday.
Mas Patel, a Labour councillor for the London borough of Newham, reported the offensive chants on his Twitter page.
Mr Patel said: “So I call out the racist, homophobic chanting and I’m asked to leave the carriage. OK, it’s for my safety, I know. They picked up my tweets and fronted me.
“Anyway, they all saw how upset I was and thanks to the fan who stood up for me. Total respect.”
A statement from Brentford on Monday read: “We condemn any abusive or discriminatory behaviour that has taken place. We will be investigating and will follow up on these awful reports.
“We are a club for all. Discrimination has no place at Brentford FC.”
