AFC Telford United are aware of an allegation of racial abuse aimed towards one of our players at the Stratford Town game on 17th February and can confirm that we are in discussions with The Football Association and Stratford Town in this respect.
As a Club we fully support our players and operate a zero tolerance towards any kind of abuse. Racial abuse is intolerable; it is a stain on our game and our society, and we are proud of our player making a stand, as well as those teammates who supported him and the match and club officials who responded.
We should also stress that we recognise that these were the actions of an individual and not reflective of Stratford Town Football Club, neither their players, officials or the vast majority of their supporters.
We will be making no further comment on the matter until a full investigation has taken place
