Further to the Premier League's statement this morning, fans are reminded that there will be no coverage from Fulham’s official social media channels of our derby with Chelsea on Saturday.
From 3pm on Friday until 11.59pm Monday, we will join with other clubs in a social media boycott, with no posts put out during that timeframe on any of our social platforms.
To follow the SW6 derby, fans are encouraged to visit the match centre on fulhamfc.com or the App, which features play-by-play match updates, as well as live commentary from Gentleman Jim and Jamie Reid*.
The match report, highlights and reaction will all still be published on the website as normal. A news story announcing the Fulham team will go live on the site at 4.30pm (BST).
As a Club, we recognise the significant role that social media plays in the modern game, but this boycott demonstrates the collective feeling that social media companies must do more to eradicate online discrimination and hate.
We remain committed to stamping out online abuse, and recently evolved our Ful Stop campaign to allow supporters to report any online discrimination or anti-social behaviour, by texting FULHAM, plus details of the incident, to 60066.
Football is for everyone.
