One in five female Norwich City fans say they have experienced some form of sexism while attending games, a survey has shown.
The Canaries Trust, one of City s leading supporters groups, surveyed a number of supporters about their experiences following the team home and away.
And while it showed the level of sexism had dramatically reduced over the years, some female football fans still felt uneasy watching their team play and one-fifth had personal experience of sexism.
Many of the participants described feeling that sexist banter was part and parcel of the game, and that the type of language they experienced would be called out in any other setting.
“It really is heartbreaking, but sadly it’s the world we live in and I truly don’t believe we will ever eradicate it. All we can do is fight against it and try and educate the next generation to a place where they don’t see colour.”
His former Carrow Road team-mate, Mr Roberts, called the boycott a step in the right direction but still had serious concerns.

“It was great to see everyone come together last weekend with the social media blackout, but do I think it will change things? Sadly not, he said.

Back in 2009, Eve Collishaw became the 100th Lord Mayor of Norwich – joining just a handful of the city’s previous lady mayors.
Born Evelyn Jean Collishaw on April 3, 1945, in Norwich, the former city and county councillor died suddenly last month aged 76.
The daughter of respected and well-known pharmacist Edward Roy Collishaw and his wife, Matilda nee Campbell Miller, Miss Collishaw attended Norwich High School for Girls from the age of 11 before undertaking a business training course in London.

While the weather probably played a part in this, it was encouraging to see that the majority of people were continuing to stick to the guidelines and play it safe.”
Meanwhile, Norwich City Football Club s Championship title win also passed off peacefully, with a number of fans going to Carrow Road on Saturday (1 May) to celebrate, with no issues reported.
The next step of the roadmap out of lockdown takes place on Monday, May 17.
