Female Newcastle United fan who said 'trans women are men' says her club membership has been suspended after police investigate her

A football fan claims her club suspended her membership after police investigated tweets saying 'trans women are men'.

The woman, a 34-year-old who lives near Newcastle United's ground, said she first heard about the inquiry in an email from the club's security complaints team at the end of last month.

The club said her £37-a-year membership was being suspended as 'standard practice' because her alleged 'malicious communications' under investigation 'contravene our ground regulations'.

The woman, who has asked not to be named, voluntarily attended an interview at Northumbria Police's Forth Banks station on Friday.
