Leicester City ban three fans for homophobic chanting

Leicester City have issued stadium bans to three people who were found to be involved in homophobic chanting at the King Power Stadium during the game against Brighton in August.

A Leicester statement read: "The Football Club is committed to protecting the matchday environment at King Power Stadium, and as a result has issued three bans varying in length from 2-12 months."

Two of those banned have also been subject to criminal proceedings with one resulting in a conditional police caution and another a significant fine.

"We fully support the club's decision to ban these individuals," said Superintendent Steve Potter of Leicestershire Police, who was the match commander for the fixture on August 19.

"Their behaviour was inexcusable and will not be tolerated. We will continue to work closely with the club to ensure those who are intent on disrupting the enjoyment for others are robustly dealt with."
