Just read that Bury have to play 2 games behind closed doors due to chants by their fans that are offensive If that’s the way things are going then plenty of grounds are going to be empty because every club has its morons who cannot help themselves and don’t give a shit if it costs their club thousands

Seems to be different rules when it comes to fans owned clubs. Never will or would happen with an owner owned club, or basically any other club in the top 5 tiers of English football. Stinks of easy target syndrome as fans owned clubs don't have the funds to fight any such punishments.

There was a thread about it on here a while ago. It seems unprecedentedly severe, but the incidents sounded like very overt racist, homophobic and disablist behaviour. You might say it's only one or two fans, but if it's going on all game it's down to the club and stewards to address it, and the majority of decent fans to call them out for it.
Never liked Bury very much, myself. Difficult club to warm to.

I agree that it would seem that lower league clubs are probably disproportionally impacted by this sort of thing.
I also think that clubs whose fanbase is expanding (obviously a good thing) need to re-double their efforts to discourage antisocial behaviour. Otherwise that minority that always exists will grow and feel emboldened.

Agree with the Lobster man. The chanting from what I’ve seen was not acceptable on any level, and I’m no woke youngster.

Apparently it was 2 drunken fans, shouting homophobic insults at the linesman, 2 fans out of a crowd of near on 4k
