Newcastle United asks fans to be mindful of matchday attire
The club is asking supporters to stop wearing traditional Arab clothing and head coverings unless they would usually wear such items
Newcastle have asked fans not to wear traditional Arabic clothing or "Middle East-inspired head coverings" to matches, unless that's what they'd usually put on.
A number of supporters dressed up to celebrate their Saudi-backed takeover at Sunday's Premier League game with Tottenham at St James' Park.
A statement from the club says:
"No-one among the new ownership group was in any way offended by the attire of the fans who chose to celebrate in this way. It was a gesture that was acknowledged as positive and welcoming in its intent.
"However, there remains the possibility that dressing this way is culturally inappropriate and risks causing offence to others.
"All visitors to the club are, as always, encouraged to wear whatever is the norm for their own culture or religion, continuing to reflect the broad and rich multicultural communities and groups from which the club proudly draws its support."
