Spurs fans ignore club request and chant Y-word

0

Tottenham fans have defied a plea from the club by continuing to chant the Y-word.

The chant was repeatedly voiced during Spurs' Premier League clash with Wolves on Sunday.

Tottenham released a statement on Thursday on their fans' use of the Y-word, saying "it is time to move on" from associating the term with the club.

But less than three minutes into their meeting with Wolves, fans were heard chanting the Y-word.

Sky Sports' Mark McAdam, who was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, reported: "We've been reporting on Sky Sports News throughout the course of this week how the club has asked fans to stop using the 'Y-word' on a matchday - less than three minutes into the game and I can hear the 'Y-word' being used around the stadium by a number of people, people are now shouting it at me.

"So, clearly the statement that came out on Thursday from the football club asking for the fans to stop using that word has fallen on deaf ears and within three minutes here I want to be talking about the football not about an antisemitic chant that the club has very kindly asked its fans to stop saying."

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones, also in attendance at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, added: "Despite the calls from the club for Spurs fans to stop chanting the 'Y-word' - it's not been reciprocated by the home fans.

"On at least seven occasions during the first half - whenever there was something to shout about - the word was chanted in some form, most of the noise coming from the South Stand where Tottenham were attacking that half. It was also chanted towards Ryan Sessegnon as he walked around the pitch when substituted."
