Police confirm seven Chelsea fans come forward following St Pancras incident

Seven Chelsea fans come forward

British Transport Police have confirmed that seven Chelsea supporters have come forward following allegations of racist chanting at St Pancras International train station in London last week.

Earlier this week, police appealed to the public to identify a group of fans who were believed to have chanted songs of a racist nature on Wednesday.

The incident came 24 hours after a handful of Chelsea supporters were filmed shoving a black man off a train at a Paris Metro station and chanting, "we're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it".

The unsavoury scenes in Paris occurred last Tuesday, prior to the Blues' 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in their last-16 Champions League clash at Parc des Princes.

A statement from British Transport Police said: "Seven men have come forward in connection with the investigation into racist chanting at St Pancras International station on Wednesday, 18 February. The men will be interviewed in due course."

Chelsea have suspended five fans from attending Stamford Bridge following the Paris Metro incident.
