Ipswich Town say they will act strongly against racist chanting after confirming allegations from their travelling supporters during their 3-1 Carabao Cup first round defeat at Luton Town on Tuesday night.
It was the Hatters’ first win of the season with new loan signing Izzy Brown starring as Lloyd Jones, Elliot Lee and Andrew Shinnie got the goals.
More than 1,000 Tractor Boys fans travelled to Kenilworth Road and, afterwards, allegations were made of a small section of Ipswich fans singing racist songs at Luton supporters, although nothing has been reported to the club.
Ipswich secretary Stuart Hayton told the club’s official website: “The facts confirm that our supporters are among the best behaved in the country and have been for many years.
“That said, we have been informed of alleged racist chants made by a small number of our fans at Kenilworth Road and we are working with Luton on what is an on-going matter.
“We have shown in the past that we will act strongly against anyone found to have conducted themselves in an offensive or anti-social manner both at games and with comments on social media, and that will remain the club’s policy.”
