 Instead of handing out banning orders to supporters, Chelsea will give them the choice of education courses OR the loss of their season tickets. 
 
 Blues chairman Bruce Buck said: “If you just ban people, you will never change their behaviour. 
 
 “This policy gives them the chance to realise what they have done, to make them want to behave better. 
 
 "In the past, we would take them from the crowd and ban them, for up to three years.

 “Now we say ‘You did something wrong. You have the option. 
 
 "We can ban you or you can spend some time with our diversity officers, understanding what you did wrong’. 
 
 “It is hard to act when a group of 50 or 100 people are chanting. That’s virtually impossible to deal with or try to drag them out of the stadium. 
 
 “But if we have individuals that we can identify, we can act.” 
 
 In September 2017, after a game at Leicester, Chelsea slammed a number of their own fans for anti-Semitic chants aimed at rivals Tottenham — a club with a big Jewish fanbase.

 A Chelsea delegation attended the annual March of the Living at Auschwitz in April. 
 
 And in June that was followed up by an official trip of 150 Blues supporters plus club employees to the notorious Nazi death camp in Poland. 
 
 Holocaust survivors have also given talks to the first-team squad. 
 
 Buck added: “The trips to Auschwitz were really important and effective and we will consider more as well as other things that will affect people. 
 
 “We want to convince other clubs to do their own things and make a real dent in what is still a problem.” 
 
 It is understood Chelsea are so committed to the project they will cover all costs.

 The idea has been backed by the World Jewish Congress, the Holocaust Education Trust and leading Jewish scholar Rabbi Barry Marcus, who told the launch meeting: “Banning doesn’t work.” 
 
 Buck replied: “It took us five years to find that out. A year ago, Roman sat down with senior people at the club and had a conversation. 
 
 “He had noticed an increase in anti-Semitism around the world and directed us to see what we could do implement a long-term project to combat it.”

 The educational courses would be instead of imposing banners orders on fans and is backed by the club's order Roman Abramovich, who is Jewish. 
 
 In Sept 2017, Chelsea openly criticised a section of their own fans after anti-Semitic chants were aimed towards rival club Tottenham. 
 
 The idea behind new initiative - giving fans the option of attending the second world war concentration camp in Poland rather than losing their season tickets - is to try and better change the attitudes of the fans. 
 
 “If you just ban people, you will never change their behaviour,” Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck told The Sun. 
 
 “This policy gives them the chance to realise what they have done, to make them want to behave better.

– Hurling racial slurs at a Chelsea soccer match could mean an all-expenses-paid jaunt to Poland. It's not exactly a dreamy getaway: After years of issuing bans to racist fans, the English Premier League team is offering to send them instead to the Nazi death camp Auschwitz for a history lesson, per the Telegraph. "If you just ban people, you will never change their behavior," chairman Bruce Buck tells the Sun. "This policy gives them the chance to realize what they have done, to make them want to behave better." Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, who is Jewish, is said to have spearheaded the move, coming a year after the club called out some of its fans for an anti-Semitic chant. "A year ago, Roman sat down with senior people at the club and had a conversation," says Buck. "He had noticed an increase in anti-Semitism around the world and directed us to see what we could do implement a long-term project to combat it." Two visits to Auschwitz by club employees and supporters in April and June "were really important and effective," he continues, adding his hope that other Premier League clubs will "do their own things and make a real dent in what is still a problem."
