Sky Sports News wrote:Eighty six per cent of football fans who regularly attend matches in the UK have witnessed a racist incident at a game, a Sky Data Poll for Sky Sports News has revealed.
More than 1,000 football fans took part in the survey and it found that 93 per cent of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) supporters have seen racism at UK football matches.
It also revealed one in three fans (33 per cent) have had racist abuse directed at them personally with that figure rising to 71 per cent when polling fans of BAME backgrounds.
Of those surveyed only 29 per cent said they had reported a racist incident that they had witnessed and of those who did report an issue, 74 per cent were not sure if anything was done about their complaint.
The Sports Minister Mims Davies MP told Sky Sports News: "I'm disappointed by the findings, but I'm not surprised.
"I feel at the moment the opportunity remains there for people to use football as a cloak for their discrimination, for their intolerance.
"It sounds to me through that data that people are not enjoying the experience of being in football so it’s time to say it’s out of order."
Davies hopes a summit between all of the game’s stakeholders can happen later this month to discuss the issue of racism.
The study also showed one third of fans (31 per cent) did not report an incident because they do not think authorities will take action while 29 per cent did not know how to report it.
Of the 93 per cent of BAME fans surveyed who said they had witnessed racism at a game, one in four have experienced abuse in the stands on a regular basis.
Eighteen per cent of those BAME fans have suffered frequent racist attacks directed at them.
So, where does the data suggest these incidents are most prominent?
The capital appears to be the worst-hit, according to our survey, with 17 per cent of fans in London experiencing racism at every match they attend.
One in 10 fans from the midlands experienced abuse at every game, with eight per cent in Scotland, five per cent in the south of England and two per cent in the north of England.
However, our survey suggests that a lot of these incidents are going unreported - with many feeling nothing would be done about their complaints.
