that doesn't happen in England nowadays, any racism in the stands in England leads to a lifetime ban from the ground, people being racist in public are charged and stand trial

racism in football is not fear mongering, it's a huge issue, it was brought up by many people when the WC was given to Russia, it would be unfair to ignore it now as well
i'm by no means suggesting that it doesn't exist in easter/central europe, however, the way it has been presented by the bbc is unprofessional. comments such as sol campbell's are pure fear mongering. i've been to numerous footy matches all around europe (including numerous in poland over the years), and things are by no means perfect. however, to suggest that it is unsafe to travel to poland for fear of violence is ridiculous
