LEADING anti-discrimination charities have welcomed Tottenham’s desire to “move on” from the Y-word being associated with the club, it was reported today.

Spurs fans have traditionally used the word, which is seen as anti-semitic, as a way of standing up to abuse that began in the late 1970s and it is still used commonly at games today.

The club engaged in consultation with the fans over its use at the end of 2019 and have now delivered its findings following a delay due to the coronavirus pandemic, saying that it is no longer possible for supporters to feel safe in the stadium while the word is being used.
