Tweet Lands Fan In Court


Police have taken action to prevent any racist incidents at Whaddon Road this coming Monday after a teenager from Ross on Wye was fined for using his Twitter account to encourage fans going to the FA Cup-Tie between the Robins and Hereford United to sing a racist chant.
 
 
The 17 year old admitted the public order offence and was fined £80 this afternoon. He has since apologised.

“Gloucestershire Police, supported by Cheltenham Town Football club, will do everything we can to identify any individuals or groups that engage in racist chanting," said Superintendent Rob Priddy.
 
"We will be there on Monday to assist the club in ensuring a safe and enjoyable match.

"We expect the majority of supporters from both sides will enjoy the game and not engage in any form of offensive or abusive behaviour but we are taking action to prevent a small number from spoiling the match for everyone else."
