Spain: Malaga calls on fans to join fight against racism [Fri Sep 16th, 2005]
Madrid (Reuters) - Malaga have called on their fans to banish racist behaviour from their stadium, after abuse was directed at visiting Espanyol players during Sunday's Primera Liga match.
The club was fined 600 euros (US$791.8) for the behaviour of its fans, which is the club's second such fine this year. Similar incidents took place during last season's corresponding fixture.
"Malaga football club demands that all its fans come together to back the club in its fight against any type of racist actions taking place during games," the club said on their website.
"The club abhors these acts and attitudes, and asks that fans do not repeat them at any more games, training sessions, or other club events."
Last season Deportivo La Coruna, Albacete, Getafe and Atletico Madrid all received fines for similar incidents in their grounds.
