Hi everyone!
With the recent alleged racial abuse that we saw at Stamford Bridge aimed at Raheem Sterling on Saturday and the incident at the North London derby with the banana being thrown onto the pitch the week previously, it goes to show that there is still work to be done to eradicate racism in football.
We will always continue to support the great work that organisations like 'Kick it Out!' and 'Show Racism the Red Card' do every day help educate and raise awareness of the problems that football encounters.
Very recently, we have hosted two events that will help us to establish links with different community groups in Bristol and we also welcomed over 90 primary school children to The Mem to take part in a 'Show Racism the Red Card' educational event, supported by Tom Lockyer and Ollie Clarke.
I'm sure we all want Bristol Rovers to be a fully inclusive club and we at the Community Trust and the Club are working hard to make sure that this is the case. You can find out more about our most recent events by checking out the videos below.

I totally endorse this move to stamp out racism at our club.
having supported the Gas for 45 years I have lived through the National Front days of the 70's and the hooligan hordes of the 80's. I had thought that those days were well and truly behind us and even said as much when recently when discussing the subjects with other before a match. However the resent spate of incidents after games that have been reported locally seems to indicate that that the hooligan element has not gone away, although not as bad as it use to be. But I was disgusted to hear someone behind me shout "F@@k @@f you black B@@@@@d " at Mallik Wilks when he scored Donny's 4th on Saturday. Unfortunately I could not identify the culprit otherwise I would of called them out.
My point here is we cannot be complacent and think it doesn't happen at our club, it does and descent people need to make sure these thugs and bigots are identified and educated, or removed in the worst cases from our club.
UTG!

Great to see brct active in the field of anti-racism and working to make Rovers an inclusive club. I am old enough to remember Cecil Podd of Bradford City getting racially abused at Eastville, and like Zulugas I had hoped that those days were behind us. The fact that we continue to hear of incidents is extremely concerning and I hope all gasheads will call out anyone who they hear giving racial abuse to anyone - players, fans or whoever. But the work in schools is really great because that's where attitudes and behaviour can be shaped from a young age.

2018 and some people are still bringing into question the colour of someones skin. Id stand up to these racists if they were near me and hurling such remarks at a rovers game.

NO ONE should be abused 'dirty (Northern) bastards'....(Welsh) sheep shaggers etc should not be allowed, we are one race, the human race.

Loads of our fans chanting sheep s*Aggers, surely this is no more acceptable than abusing a black player etc?? But seems it's considered acceptable banter by many.

Please report any comments you hear to a Bristol Rovers steward who have been trained to respond to incidents like this. If not possible you are able to report incidents using the Kick it Out reporting app on smart phones. Thanks for your support in helping the club eliminate this unacceptable behaviour

But you dont have to go that far back as I remember the Blackthorns response to Chris Zebroski on his return to the Mem with Cheltenham. And some felt it was fine to justify it on here the next day.

Don't recall any racist abuse aimed at Zabroski? Was that the case?

Sadly I do in 2012 after he scored the winning goal in a 1-0 win and celebrated in front of the Blackthorn end

I can distinctly remember the colour was mentioned by some individuals around me - very uncomfortable viewing and possibly why your direct question wasn't answered as feelings were extremely high after that nights events.
