During Grantham Town Football Club’s 1-0 loss to Corby Town on Tuesday (August 20), an unidentified individual was alleged to have made a racist remark.

In a statement issued on Friday (August 23), the directors said: “The club would like to reiterate that it condemns all racist and homophobic language at its games and is totally committed to stamping out such language.”
