First offence, your next match is behind closed doors. If it happens again within a certain period (say, two years, something like that) your next home match is then cancelled and the points awarded to your opponents. And the same punishment after every subsequent incident from then on. I think you need something harsh like that to get the local football authorities and police serious about arresting those people, banning them from stadiums, and enforcing those bans properly in the future.
Of course it won't solve the problem of racism, someone who spouts racist drivel at a football match is still going to be racist when they leave the stadium, whatever you do. As long as there is racism in society, there will be racist football fans. But I would approve of harsh punishments being used to see if we can at least make football stadiums a no-go area for racists.
