Taunts indirectly referencing the Hillsborough disaster were heard at Kenilworth Road during Sunday’s 1-1 Premier League draw against Liverpool.
Luton have threatened to ban any supporters who are found to have taken part in ‘tragedy chanting’ during Sunday’s home match against Liverpool.
Luton said they were reviewing CCTV evidence to identify individuals, who could face stadium bans and criminal prosecutions. “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,” Luton’s statement added.
After the Luton match, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp said he did not hear the chanting, which occurred while the game was still goalless shortly after half-time, but added: “Shame on everyone who said it.” The Premier League condemns the tragedy-related chanting heard at yesterday's match between Luton Town and Liverpool.
