CLUB STATEMENT

We are aware of an incident of racism at the Notts County fixture last night.

Having liaised with Notts County throughout the day, we now understand that Nottinghamshire Police were made aware of an allegation of racist abuse which led to a man being ejected from the ground. A 23-year-old man handed himself in to the police a short time later. He was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence and has since been questioned. The investigation into the incident continues.

Notts County have issued a lifetime ban to the individual from attending their future matches.

We would like to thank Nottinghamshire Police and Notts County for their handling of the incident thus far and also extend our thanks to the Notts County players, staff and fans who offered their support to Rob Hall. The Club has today been in contact with Kick It Out regarding the incident and has also reached out to Rob to ensure he is ok. We are here to fully support Rob and any of our players and staff affected by the incident.
