Leeds United supporters groups have issued a joint statement to Whites fans travelling to Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton about anti-Semetic and homophobic chanting.

Leeds United Supporters Trust, Marching Out Together, Leeds United Disabled Organisation and Leeds United Supporters Club have all backed the message, which asks travelling fans to ensure that people of all backgrounds feel 'safe and proud' to follow the team.

The statement reads: "We have two fantastic away games at Tottenham and Brighton coming up, when our magnificent travelling fans will noisily support the team, as always.
