£7,500 fine for Carlisle United after fans’ racist chants

Carlisle United have been fined £7,500 by the FA over racist chanting at the game on Boxing Day last season.

The fixture was against Bradford City and United were charged by the FA over incidents during the game at Brunton Park.

The misconduct of the Carlisle United supporters was not limited to an isolated incident, but involved three identifiable incidents of offensive and highly insulting racist chanting during the game.

The club subsequently admitted the charge in correspondence dated last month and an FA Commission concluded it was appropriate and proportionate to issue a financial sanction of £7,500.

In addition, in order to reduce the risk of further such breaches of FA rules, the Carlisle club was formally warned as to future conduct.

Chief executive Nigel Clibbens said: “The club condemns the discriminatory and disorderly behaviour we saw at the game.

“The damage to the reputation of the club and football and issues of equality, diversity and inclusivity by such discriminatory misconduct is obvious.

“It is unsurprising that we received multiple complaints from supporters after that game. We are deeply sorry for this incident and apologise to Bradford City, its fans and all spectators at the match, and the wider game, for this incident. 

“It brings shame on the club and our fans. There must be no repeat.

“We have worked to improve spectator behaviour, including with supporter groups, but this has proved to fall short of what is required. We will introduce an action plan in accordance with the FA Regulatory Commission sanction. 

“The club will develop initiatives to make it a more inclusive environment and will be more proactive in the prevention and detection of any potential discriminatory or disorderly behaviour going forward.

“This will include a media campaign across our website and social media accounts emphasising the club’s policies and zero tolerance approach toward discriminatory and disorderly behaviour.”
