Chelsea reportedly want to send racist Blues fans on educational trips to Auschwitz - instead of slapping them with banning orders.

Stamford Bridge supremo Roman Abramovich is Jewish and is spearheading the campaign, according to The Sun.

Chelsea have a long-standing rivalry with Tottenham who have historically attracted fans from a Jewish heritage.

Many supporters slammed their fellow Blues after a match against Leicester last year for anti-Semitic chants aimed at Spurs.

Chelsea representatives attended the annual March of the Living at Auschwitz in April and 150 fans, plus club employees, visited the death camp in Poland in June.

The Blues squad has also been spoken to by survivors of the Holocaust.

Chelsea are understood to be planning to offer those found guilty of anti-Semitic chanting the option of the educational trip or losing their season ticket.

But Blues chairman Bruce Buck claims banning orders don't work in the long term.

He is quoted as saying: “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’."
