Northampton Town Football Club confirm that a number of the first team squad were racially abused ahead of Saturday’s game at Notts County.
The incident occurred in Nottingham as the squad went on their normal pre-match walk from the team hotel before the game.
We would like to highly commend our players for the professional manner in which they handled the situation and as a club we stand together in condemning such actions.
We are working with the relevant authorities and have asked anyone with any information about the incident, or possible witnesses, to contact the club.
