A BBC survey has found that England's football clubs are failing to deal with racism among supporters.

BBC Radio Five Live has learned that only 122 fans have been banned from Premiership and Nationwide League grounds for racist behaviour in the past five years.

Figures provided by all 92 English clubs indicate that there is no common strategy in place to deal with the problem, with some clubs failing to throw out fans guilty of racist abuse.

The situation has been described as a ‘disgrace’ by the game's leading anti-racist campaigning body, ‘Kick It Out’.

National coordinator Piara Power warned that unless clubs do more, another generation of black and Asian fans will be lost to the game.

And ‘Kick It Out’ chairman Sir Herman Ouseley believes changes need to be made from top to bottom.

"The game has taken steps to try and deal with the excesses of racist behaviour but you can't deny the fact that at the highest level of the game there is complacency," Ouseley told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"There is a certain amount of apathy and a sense that we have moved on. We're now on to building new national stadiums and racism has fallen right down the agenda.”

"This complacency exists in the boardroom, among the FA. The FA Council hasn't transformed itself in a way which reflects the ethnic diversity of the game and black and Asian match-day officials are still far and few between."
