The club is aware, and have received several complaints from our own supporters, regarding the conduct of a handful of QPR fans during our fixture at Southampton last weekend. We are working closely with the relevant authorities to ascertain details of those who were involved in disorder or illegal activities and supporters who have brought the club into disrepute will be suitably punished. As such, we would like to remind our supporters about their behaviour whilst following the club on its travels in the Premier League. The club is proud of the atmosphere our supporters create at our away fixtures and by working together we can eradicate any discrimination, behaviour or illegal activities that have no place in football. We are committed to confronting and eliminating discrimination, whether by reason of race, colour, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, age, ethnic and national origin, disability, nationality, religion or belief or gender reassignment. Racial, homophobic or discriminatory abuse, chanting or harassment is strictly forbidden and will result in arrest and / or ejection from any Premier League ground, and in addition the club will impose a ban for one or more matches. In the event you wish to report any discriminatory, behavioural or illegal activities at away fixtures, please e-mail jennyw@qpr.co.uk We acknowledge that the vast majority of our supporters are extremely well behaved when following the club at away fixtures.

"Racial, homophobic or discriminatory abuse, chanting or harassment is strictly forbidden and will result in arrest and / or ejection from any Premier League ground, and in addition the club will impose a ban for one or more matches." Who does the ejecting (and how fair/efficient is it) and who monitors and enforces a club-imposed ban, especially at an away match? | |

Publish pictures of the ones found guilty of these offenses and ban them. The rest of he fanbase can then help identify them if they are seen either home or away and report them. | | | |

If your avatar is anything to go by then, so far so good. I've heard you do meet and greets for fellow R's when they go to Brooklyn so I'll be sure to look you up if I'm ever in that neck of the woods. | |

Because to make a massive deal of it would be to hand the newspapers a free story about racist chanting by our own fans. TBH, it would be easier for them to do nothing, pretend it never happened. Credit to them for sticking their necks out a bit, saying they know it's going on, firing a first shot as it were. "Grass on their own" makes it sound like the club are in the wrong, and we should do and say nothing about people who think it's ok to attack a man with a young child because he dared to say we shouldn't be taking short corners, or sing about black players living in trees and having HIV, because of some weird code where you can be as much of a cnt as you like, as long as you're wearing a QPR shirt. If a significant number of QPR fans go to Chelsea and sing that song, we're going to be in every fcking paper the day after, and our club doesn't need that. | | | |

I think being in the papers the day after will be the least of our worries, haven't heard the song or know the words but if the subjects you mention are sung, as you say, by any great number, then sanctions, will , correctly, follow. The club's very sensible statement, could be useful mitigation in those circumstances, although wouldn't be enough to avoid punishment I don't believe. | | | |
