Liverpool have offered to work with Luton Town over education around the Hillsborough disaster after tragedy chanting marred Sunday's 1-1 draw at Kenilworth Road
Liverpool have written to Luton Town for details over their handling of tragedy chanting from fans as the fallout from Sunday's 1-1 draw at Kenilworth Road goes on.
The chanting was immediately slammed by Jamie Carragher on co-commentary duty for Sky Sports at the time with Jurgen Klopp later saying the songs brought "shame" on those who took part. “Luton Town Football Club is saddened by reports of inappropriate chanting towards Liverpool supporters during yesterday’s Premier League fixture at Kenilworth Road,” read the Luton statement.
“What has quickly become evident is that a number of people may have taken part without knowledge that the words used were in relation to the Hillsborough and Heysel tragedies, and we see the route to persuading supporters not to repeat these chants in future is through communication and education." "On behalf of all at Luton Town, we would like to wholeheartedly apologise to anyone offended by the chants heard during yesterday’s match, and will continue to work with supporter groups to educate fans on chants that are classed as tragedy abuse by football authorities, the police and CPS."
“We strongly condemn chanting of this nature and will continue to work closely with our stakeholders across the game, including the clubs, leagues, fan groups and the relevant authorities to proactively address the issue.”
