We can confirm this afternoon’s game was abandoned prior to the second half commencing due to an allegation of racism aimed at an opposition player.
As a board, we have acted swiftly and launched an internal investigation into the alleged incident which took place.
At this stage, 1874 Northwich Community Football Club strongly denies any allegation of racism. We will work with the relevant authorities in any investigation and to determine the outcome of the fixture.
We are a Community Football Club, owned by our supporters and we share a zero-tolerance policy for any kind of discrimination.
Football is a game for all; where players, officials and supporters should feel welcomed and safe at all times. We all must play our part in ensuring 1874 Northwich is an inclusive and friendly environment. For further information – you can read our Supporter Code of Conduct, which is shared throughout our Newsletters and Digital Matchday Programmes.
We will not make any further comment until investigations have concluded.
