Police probe claims of Chelsea racist chanting

CLAIMS that a group of Chelsea fans were involved in racist chanting on a train back from the club’s draw at Norwich are being investigated.

British Transport Police said they had been made aware of the alleged incident.

Chelsea have vowed to take action against any fans proved to be involved in racist chanting.

The alleged incident comes just a week before Chelsea face QPR in a potentially explosive FA Cup tie at Loftus Road.

Captain John Terry has been charged with racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand during the Premier League game between the two clubs on October 23.

Terry, who denies the allegations, is due to appear at West London magistrates court on February 1.

Chelsea were forced to condemn supporters who were clearly heard chanting “Anton Ferdinand, you know what you are” in their 1-1 Champions League draw at Genk’s Cristal Arena on November 1.
