re: Phoenix Sports v East Grinstead Town

As the Chairman of Phoenix Sports Club, I was extremely sickened to hear about the verbal abuse one of our players received last night in our home game against East Grinstead Town.

Our secretary reported this to the referee after the game.

I am pleased to read the action taken by the Chairman and Manager of East Grinstead.

The 'Kick It Out' campaign in football has worked hard to stop racism in all forms and it has no place in football or our society at all.

Our manager Paul Bryon will be in conversation with our player to see whether he wants to take this any further but at this stage I fully appreciate and support East Grinstead’s prompt actions.

Phoenix Sports Chairman
