Luton fan in peace here. Unlucky last night, but well done on the good start to the season.
I'm just here as was interested whether any of you who were at the game heard any of these alleged monkey chants that an Accrington fan (and BBC producer) tweeted about?

I've been going for 30 years and have never heard anything remotely like this, so to me it seems incredibly unlikely. A bit of ****ehousery from both teams, and a bit of a lively atmosphere is one thing, but I just can't see this as having happened.

Maybe she misheard boos or chants of "who? Who? Who?" when a sub was introduced, but to put quite a serious allegation like that on twitter, as a BBC journalist, when no one else seems to have heard it seems irresponsible. I fit happened then it's a disgrace, but we now have this against our name. Whether it was true or not doesn't matter as it's on twitter which essentially acts as judge and jury without any evidence.
