The individuals involved were singing Chippenham Town songs as well, also a song multiple times that Gerry Gill was a paedophile who touches children, it was pretty obvious who they were as they were trying to be the centre of attention. The ringleader was in Stone Island jeans and jacket early-mid 20's, someone will know who he is.

If you had a daughter or granddaughter who was playing football something she enjoyed, would you expect her in this day and age, to have to play in an environment where she is being sexually harassed by chants of get your tits out for the lads and get your fanny out for the lads and chants about sexual abuse, paedophilia, that is why I am upset, why should my granddaughter and her team mates be subjected to being chanted at and shouted at in a sexual nature whilst playing football by 'fans' of a team who were seemingly there just to push their own agenda. I am not the only one who has been upset by the behaviour last night. I know swearing etc happens at football games but this all went over the line.

I have come on here with it to raise awareness of what happened so your club are aware you have this sort of element that are representing your club and that it affects the reputation of your club. I am not a Chippenham fan but as a fan of local football I have attended some FA Cup games at your ground to support the club. I am reluctant to return if this behaviour is deemed to be acceptable. I am not expecting the club to do anything about it as I said, as it wasn't on their patch but I feel the behaviour needs addressing.

Unfortunately yes they were mostly in their 20's a couple of them looked younger though. The ringleader as I said looked the oldest and according to some other Corsham supporters around me who were discussing it, is well known at your club. I recognise Chippenham Town FC are not able to do anything regarding this but it isn't a good look for your club when they are chanting these sort of things and making it clear they are Chippenham fans.

I am a bit more calmer than I was last night and earlier this afternoon. My granddaughter did feel uncomfortable, she hasn't really experienced this sort of behaviour previously whilst playing and it wasn't nice for Corsham or Bristol Rovers players to have to listen to that. I don't understand why the group would attend a game that doesn't involve their team and behave in such an anti social and horrible manner. I witnessed the group being confronted by a director in the second half who went over to them, so I would imagine this is being looked at from Corsham's end and probably was passed on to Chippenham today as well.

I am prepared to draw a line under this, as feel that this is being addressed, I was extremely angry last night, when family are involved it does make it emotive. If any of that group are reading this, please consider your behaviour before entering a football ground again instead of becoming the spectacle you allowed yourselves to become last night. Watching football is a privelege and if you can't behave it could be taken away. Good luck for the rest of the season. Jonesy
