IT'S National Anti-Racism Week of Action In Football and
here's a personal message from Hammers boss Alan Pardew.
"It's great to see the whole of football coming together
to get behind Kick It Out's Week of Action. This is an
important issue to the health of the game and the country as a
whole.
"Sadly, we do not see many ethnic minorities coming to matches
despite the number of black players in the game, and there is still
an obvious lack of Asian players coming through.
"It is up to us to set a positive example and do everything we
can to challenge inequality and ensure a level playing field. I am
sure that we can count on all our fans to support the activities
the Club has organised today to raise awareness of the week of
action.
"Remember, all of us have a role to play."
Let's Kick It Out!
