Travis Perkins Northamptonshire Combination

in conjunction with the

Northamptonshire County Football Association Limited

Fully support the aims and objectives of the

'LETS KICK RACISM OUT OF FOOTBALL' campaign.

 

Football provides us with a unique opportunity to show

unity between people of different origins. However, the

experience of many players from ethnic minority communities

of abuse and harrassment because of the colour of their skin.

 

Players, referees and administrators are reminded that

racist abuse (such as name calling) on the field of play

is a red card offence. Teams, Leagues and individuals

who are found to have acted in a racist manner in either

excluding ethnic minorities or found to be engaging in racist

abuse or harrassment will face having their

registration cancelled.

 

Players suffering racist abuse are encouraged to report it

to referees on the field of play and to the secretary or

chairman of their League.

The County should also be informed immediately.

 

Racism in football is a problem that we all have a

responsibility to address. Don't let it ruin our game.
