Racists and homophobic abuse continues to be chanted at football grounds across the UK, despite a number of public appeals to address the issue according to an upcoming Dispatches documentary on Channel 4.
Undercover: Hate on the Terraces shows Leicester supporters on the receiving end of Islamophobic chants from Millwall fans and Nottingham Forest fan with police apparently doing little to intervene.
