The Club can confirm that during Saturday’s game against Darlington an allegation of racial abuse was made regarding comments aimed by a spectator towards a visiting player.

We would like to make it absolutely clear that Spennymoor Town Football Club abhors discrimination in all of its forms and will not tolerate this sort of behaviour inside The Brewery Field.

The Club will now work with the relevant authorities to try and identify those responsible and we will seek the maximum penalty and a lifetime ban from the stadium for anyone found guilty of such conduct.

We would also urge anyone who has information that could support the investigation to contact the Club or the Police.
