Only three Premier League clubs accept police invitation to fight online racism

• Manchester City, Norwich and Brighton keen to help
• Chief constable Mark Roberts says response is ‘disappointing’

Manchester City, Norwich and Brighton are the only Premier League clubs to have accepted an invitation to work with the police to try to stop online racism, the Guardian understands.

In July, the chief constable Mark Roberts, who is the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s football lead, wrote to all 92 clubs in the league pyramid to invite them to work with the force to address the problem.
