Cheltenham Town's best performance of the season has been marred by reports of homophobic chanting in the away section at Swindon Town on Saturday afternoon.

A crowd of 6,658 gathered at the County Ground to watch Gary Johnson's Robins side claim a superb 3-0 win with a goal from Jake Andrews and two from leading scorer Mo Eisa.

The attendance included more than 600 fans from Cheltenham, who had plenty to cheer as they saw their team pick up a fourth away success of the campaign.

But among the joyous scenes, witnesses have reported shouts of a homophobic nature during the match, directed at other fans in the away end and the police have been notified.

A statement from Cheltenham Town condemned the alleged behaviour and said a full investigation will now take place.

"Cheltenham Town Football Club is very disappointed to learn of alleged homophobic comments by a small number of individuals during the match away at Swindon Town.

"The club takes such matters very seriously and has launched a full investigation to establish all details.

"Cheltenham Town Football Club always promotes equality and condemns any discrimination of any type whether by reason of race, colour, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability or age.

"The club will take a zero tolerance approach to anyone who is discovered to have made homophobic comments and will act accordingly against any offenders identified."
