I have always thought it a good thing that the Forum is open and that anyone can read the comments but today I am not so sure.
The other forum that will not be named has a thread on racism which has attracted over 7000 viewings in a short space of time - suggesting that it is people from all over the UK who are viewing. As usual there are some numpties making statements that are inflamatory or at least ambiguous and I fear that this is all going to come back and haunt us as we are going to be portrayed as the modern " Millwall" by the press.
The Mansfield problems have been well documented and the Eastleigh and Dartford issues were 2 moronic individuals acting alone. The problem is that the Forum comments could be misrepresented and make it look as if we have a much wider problem. I feel that we should make it clear that the fans absolutely back the clubs stand on racism and do not want any racist supporters amongst our ranks.
I realise that there are people who always feel the need to spout free speach as a reason to make contentious comments but you should realise that your free speach is great as long as it get paid for by other people.

What happened at Eastleigh? Their nasty chairman saying how nice we were? How dare he. |

It's great that we are talking openly about it imo.
No poster has supported racism and all agree that IF found guilty the fan(s) should be banned.
Some wider issues have also been discussed.
If we are condemned by the media based on what's written on here it would be rathter unfair.

Yes i meant Braintree - and I was at the match as well!!!I was actually thinking of the positive words at Eastleigh and how it will count for nothing when over a 1,000 fans behave so well and be overshadowed by the actions of just 2 people

Nothing been proven yet so anyone is innocent until proved guilty. If guilt is proved throw the book at them. Till then I prefer to think there was (hopefully) no racist remarks made.
