From not606? By Neil Lancefield Wednesday January 25 2012 NINE men were arrested today by police investigating suspected racist chanting by football fans. Police received reports of a group of Charlton Athletic supporters singing racist songs on a train following their FA Cup tie at Fulham on January 7. Officers, visited homes in south east London, early today and arrested nine men. Detective Inspector Ashley Cooper, leading the investigation, said the suspects, aged from 20-30, were taken to a north London police station and are helping police with their inquiries. "We launched Operation Midas after a group of men, who we believe to be Charlton Athletic supporters, boarded a train at Putney and were heard chanting racist songs - something which was both offensive and extremely intimidating for other passengers on board. "My team of detectives have worked quickly to gather evidence and, by working closely with Charlton Athletic FC, coupled with excellent CCTV footage, intelligence reports and statements from witnesses, we've been able to move swiftly and make this morning's arrests," he said. Charlton Athletic chief executive Stephen Kavanagh said: "This kind of abhorrent behaviour is totally condemned by our club and, in addition to assisting the police, for our own part we will be seeking to ban for life anyone who is found guilty of racially offensive chanting. "We have been a pioneer of anti-racism and anti-discrimination initiatives in football, so, although these are isolated incidents and in no way reflect the overwhelming majority of Charlton supporters, these recent arrests are saddening to all those who have worked so hard over many decades."

thought you didn't post for a while after the Brum game was because you was out of the country but perhaps your silence was for another reason? <umm thinks smiley>
Noy sure why this story has got so much attention. Doesn't this sort of thing happen every week for Millwall?
Depends what paper you read Ryan. According to the Mirror last week, your 2 most famous fans are Millwall Supporters
